“Ruin what? Your kidnapping? Grab your stuff, we’re taking you and your dad home.”

For a moment, I thought she would listen. She grabbed her iPad off the table and pushed some buttons. The faint music coming from the ear buds stopped.

“I’m not going anywhere with you guys.”

She finally focused on the men with me, eyes flicking back and forth. Mike turned slightly, so that Logan’s unconscious face was visible above his ravaged throat. Her face paled at the sight. She fingered the charm bracelet Logan had commissioned for her—a genuine lucky charm crafted by Mason.

Then her mouth pursed in anger. Alisha spat, “Serves him right. He’s not my dad, and I’m not going anywhere with you.”

I wonder who told her. Has she always known? “He’s cared for you for your entire life. He risked his life to come here to get you out.”

In my peripheral vision, Manny was tapping his watch in that ‘hurry up’ gesture. He was right; every second of delay only made the mission more likely to fail.

“I don’t care about him! He’s too controllin—” Her voice was cut off by Manny putting the hood over her head. He pulled a drawstring to ensure she couldn’t jerk the covering off.

Alisha stood quickly, letting the iPad drop to the floor, and reached to tug at the hood. She let out a bloodcurdling scream that would have alerted the entire household, but it was muffled by the hood and my sound barrier spell.

Manny quickly captured her wrists and spun her around, binding her wrists behind her with a set of flex-cuffs. Then he tossed her on the bed and reached for her ankles. She twisted to her side, pulled her legs up, and kicked out as hard as possible. She caught Manny in the solar plexus, taking his breath away.

Despite that, he grabbed one ankle, then the other, and managed to flex-cuff them together. He flipped Alisha onto her stomach, then climbed up and put one knee on her back, forcing her to stay in place. He strung several zip ties together and looped the resultant plastic chain between her wrist and ankle restraints.

All the while, Alisha was screaming her head off. Before I could use my nitrogen gas spell to knock her out, Manny leaned down and placed his mouth next to her ear.

As she drew in breath for her next scream, he said, in the coldest voice I had ever heard, “Shut the fuck up, or I will hurt you.”

Alisha’s scent spiked with fear and she shifted from screams to sobs.

I was suddenly glad Logan was still unconscious.

Manny slid off the bed and faced me. He mouthed a silent ‘I’m sorry’ at me, then tapped his watch again.

“You’re going to have to carry her, Manny,” I said. “I still need my hands free.”

Manny nodded and slung the now-silent Alisha over his shoulder. He gave Mike a grim smile. “At least I got the skinny one.”

I dropped the sound barrier spell and listened. Running footsteps and muffled curses. On the dropped iPad’s screen was a blinking red icon.
