Almost to the front, I chanted, holding tight to the hope maybe airport security could help. Everything ached and throbbed, my shoulder searing in pain with each pump of my arm, but I didn’t slow. I scanned the security area through the quickly darkening tunnel, trying to find a security officer to help, but my eyes found something else… someone else.

Someone better.

Hunter.

I nearly cried out when I saw his harsh gaze on the two men behind me, but my throat and lungs burned, keeping the plea contained on the tip of my tongue. Thankfully, he seemed to know the stakes, sprinting to catch up to me. Snatching my elbow, he guided me toward the doors.

I wanted to question why, but at that moment, all I could do was keep running to keep ahead of the men who clearly didn’t have my best interest. We retraced our steps to where he’d parked not that long ago, but the men slowly crept closer and closer until they finally reached us.

A sharp tug on my bag yanked me backward, stumbling into a solid chest and a steely grip. A rough yell ripped through me at the man’s arm wrapping around my torso, his arm jarring my injured shoulder.

“I don’t fucking think so,” Hunter hissed in anger, kicking out at the other Phantom.

The adrenaline in my system was pumping, making me hyperaware of everything around me, and the pain dulled as fast as it appeared. Twisting sharply, I tried to loosen the man’s grasp long enough to put some distance between us.

It worked, my body’s momentum carrying me until I practically spun around far enough to see him. The hard, cutting glint in his gaze made my stomach drop as I scrambled back, fear making the acid in my stomach creep up my throat. There was no way I could let them take me, but try as I might to get away, I couldn’t get past a couple of steps.

I kicked, punched, and tried to jerk my body around to dislodge him, stop any attempts of him grabbing me, but it wasn’t enough. He had enough weight and brawn on me, all he had to do was get one strong grasp, and it kept me from running.

Hunter’s fight and the pained cries of the other Phantom sounded fuzzy and far away in my panicked haze, my heart beating out of control, thudded loudly in my ears. I hoped Hunter could save me, but I didn’t dare turn to look and see how he was faring.

“Come here, you little shit,” the man hissed, one meaty hand clamping down on my arm and tugging with all his force. A pop sounded, and immediate pain seared my arm and torso on my injured side, my shoulder dislocating from the jarring pull.

Each step away from Hunter included a fresh yank, and I couldn’t stop the scream from ripping through me. Bile rose from the slowly diminishing adrenaline mixed with the blinding pain and fear that iced my veins.
