The rest of Glory MC arrived in a rush, eager to free the prisoner locked inside a nightmare. Angel must’ve warned them because they came prepared, wearing masks and gloves to clear out the cells and ensure that no one had been left behind. After forty-five minutes of hacking at cells with several axes and a chainsaw, we finally managed to tear an opening in the cell. “You’re free now.” My hand shot out to the girl. “Whenever you’re ready, you can come out and we’ll get you cleaned up and fed.”

Wide eyes bore into me, skepticism still lacing the edges of her irises. I could tell that this girl was a smart one. Strong and cunning. She wasn’t someone who trusted easily. I figured that could either be a product of what she had endured at the hands of her captors, or that she was naturally wary of strangers around her. Either way, it was the one thing that had kept her alive this whole time. “Come on. It’s safe. I promise.”

There was no movement from the girl.

Shit. This was turning out to be worse than I thought. Here was a way out and the girl was curled into herself, looking away from us as if we weren’t really there. Did she think we were tricking her?

Kitt’s hand landed on my shoulder, giving a reassuring squeeze. “Patience,” he murmured. “She’s been through a lot.”

That didn’t need to be said. I knew in the haunted look of her eyes that she felt betrayed. I didn’t need a window into her mind to know that she would need some time to heal. Hell, a lot of time. But here was an escape. Freedom. Why wasn’t she running for it?

Giving her one last look, I walked away, allowing her the time and space to decide when she would come out. As I walked over to an area away from the rest of Glory MC, memories pushed at the edges of my mind, wanting to take over. I resisted as best as I could, knowing full well what had triggered the onslaught of memories.

In my time with Glory MC, I’d seen a lot of violent things. However, the image of the holding cells containing desecrated bodies and the girl hit far too close to my heart to simply forget it now. This time, the memories came back in a flood, drowning me in the process . . .

“Where is it?” Ma cried hysterically.

“I don’t know,” I lied.

“It has to be here somewhere.” She scoured the kitchen cabinets. She didn’t know I had found her drugs earlier and tossed the small packets of crystalline powder in the toilet. Had watched as it swirled down the drain with a dark sense of satisfaction. This drug was slowly ruining my family. Hurting my ma. Hurting my sister.

I hated it. Hated it with such a passion that I didn’t care if Ma hated me for it after.

“I know I had some left! Help me find them, baby.
