✯✯✯✯✯

We pulled up to the gates of Knight’s safe house and waited to be let in. Cap came out to meet us, along with Derek and Cazzo. When I stepped out of the truck, I groaned and did my best to stretch, but Raegan came around to my side and put her arm around me, trying to hold me up in case I fell. I didn’t need her help to walk, but I’d let her think that she was helping just so I could have her in my arms.

“We weren’t sure if you were going to make it,” Cap said, slapping me on the shoulder. “We just got here ourselves about an hour ago. We’re not even settled in yet.”

“What happened that you had to take off?”

“That’s something we need to talk about, but we’re still waiting on an arrival.”

I nodded and we started toward the house. Each step was a little more painful and I was starting to regret how hard I had taken Raegan after our shower yesterday. My ribs were aching and my whole body was sore from sitting so long.

“I don’t suppose you’ve had any contact from Craig,” Cap said.

“No, we’ve been running since we left the hospital.”

“What happened exactly?” Cap asked, staring at my bruised face.

“Let’s just say that this one causes trouble when she’s hungry,” I said, jerking my thumb in Raegan’s direction. She glared at me, but there was no heat behind it. We walked inside the massive house after Cap went through the ten different security measures Knight had in place. “So, how are Ice and Hunter? Who’s with them at the hospital?”

Cazzo and Derek wouldn’t look at me and Cap’s face was grim.

“They didn’t make it,” Cap finally said after a minute. “Neither did Gabe.”

I was just standing there staring, my heart slowing to an almost deadly pace. Air wouldn’t fill my lungs and it wasn’t until Raegan slipped her hand into mine that I finally took a breath. “But…” I shook my head, unable to find the right words. When I spoke again, my voice was strangled. “Gabe just had a head injury. It was just a concussion. And Hunter and Ice were doing better. They survived the surgery. How…I don’t understand what the hell happened.”

“Those men that were after Raegan, one of them posed as a doctor. He injected all of them with something to send them into cardiac arrest. The only reason Burg made it out was because he was so anxious to get out of the bed, he had already taken out his IV. The doctors did everything they could, but it was too late. The dose was too high. The real doctor was found unconscious in the basement.”

“No, this has to be a mistake. I saw that doctor. I would have-”

“You had already gone after Raegan,” Cap cut in.

I narrowed my eyes at him. “Are you saying this is my fault?”

“No, I’m saying that you couldn’t have known anything because you weren’t there when the guy poisoned Gabe.
