I was dimly aware of being held by a pair of strong arms while in the back of a moving vehicle. I hovered on the edge of consciousness throughout the journey.

“Are we taking the helicopter, Boss?” T asked the person holding me.

“I don’t think Tal should be moved again. Just drive,” Izzy replied. I exhaled in relief. My friend had me. I was safe. The next thing I knew was the feeling of being carried. I grunted as my body became aware of movement. Every slight jar made me grind my teeth is agony. I couldn’t help but whimper.

“I’m sorry, Tal. I’ll try to be more careful,” Adam’s gentle voice soothed me a little bit. I tried to open my eyes, but the swelling on my face made it difficult. Merely taking a breath was an effort. “I’m taking you to your room. A doctor and nurse are waiting to examine you. Then we’ll clean you up, and let you rest, ok?” I grunted. “You’re safe here. G & T will watch over you. Even so, Jason has arranged an extra security detail for the property. Plus, Rob and Liam will be back tonight.”

I was perturbed at being back at the Manor, but even in my distressed state, I acknowledged it really was the best place to contain security. I hoped everyone else had left. The thought that they could be at peril due to me was as debilitating as my physical injuries.

“Boys?” I croaked.

“Don’t worry, Izzy moved them to his mum’s. It’s a bit crowded there, but Valerie and Jack are enjoying fussing over them.”

I was relieved, especially knowing Bastien was safely away from me. Adam turned his head to speak to someone, but I was unable to make out his words through the haze of my pain.

We finally arrived at my room, where Sanjay was waiting to supervise the medical visit. His calm demeanour and caring manner was certainly less stressful than Jason’s highly-strung approach. I loved Jase, but he could be a little too dramatic to cope with. Adam cautiously lowered me to the mattress. The cool sheets and soft pillow was a welcome balm to my tortured body. I wanted to sleep forever.

“Tally.”

I sniffed. I always hated Izzy using my childhood nickname until now. Now he could call me what he wanted. I dragged my eyelids upwards. His concerned expression greeted me. “Dr Hodges is going to examine you. He’s the Greenall family practitioner. Is that ok?” I nodded and immediately regretted it as a bolt of fiery pain shot through my head. I hissed as Izzy drew his brows together. “Tal, mate; I’m so sorry.”

I couldn’t understand what Izzy was apologising for. It was my own stupid renegade self that had gotten me kidnapped. “Not. Your. Fault,” I sputtered through cracked and painful lips.

“I’ll explain later, but I suspect Hayley may have been bribed by Doron, or even Tolya. She gave you up, I’m certain of it.”

“How, though?” I struggled to understand. “I didn’t do anything.
