Chapter Fourteen

Trey

The fact that I haven’t pulled the trigger and splattered the bastard’s brains against the dingy warehouse wall is a testament to my willpower. Before Randi, I would’ve fired without thinking of the consequences. But now, my life literally stands between me and the man I want to slowly torture to death.

The gun grip digs into my palms, my fingers aching at the firm hold.

I could take the shot. I would make the shot. But that slim chance Whit could move, putting Randi in the direct path of my bullet, keeps me from pulling the trigger. The odds of that happening are slim, but if it happened, then the next bullet fired from my gun would be lodged in my own skull.

I wasn’t prepared for the first thing I saw after slipping through the door being fucking Whit himself dragging her behind him by her hair. I almost lost it then, almost went apeshit like Tank was adamant I not do. Since that one glimpse, I haven’t dared look at her again. That was enough to recognize the treatment she’s received up to this point in her captivity.

“I won’t ask again.” My voice is cold, calm, deadly. “Release the president.”

“The president or your girlfriend, Benson?”

“They’re one and the same. Drop her.”

“Not a chance.” For emphasis, he tightens his hold, adjusting her limp body tighter against his. A whisper of a pain-laced whimper reaches me. I grind my teeth, tightening my jaw from the force to keep my eyes on Whit. “How does it feel, rent-a-cop? Knowing there’s nothing you can do to stop the inevitable?”

“Half the military is on standby just a couple miles away, waiting for my command. Three helicopters, a few fighter jets, and more guns than in all of Russia are ready to blow you into dust, yet you think you’re the one holding the cards.”

“Ah, but they won’t attack, just like you, with her in the crosshairs.” Her grip on his arm tenses at his demanding shake to my girl. Breaking our stare-down, he surveys the abandoned building. “Now where’s your friend?”

“Didn’t come.” He knows it’s a lie, but I have to give Tank and Smith time to get into position. Even if that means having to keep hearing this fucker’s annoying-ass voice.

A harsh laugh rattles in the emptiness. “Lie. You two fuckbuddies never go anywhere alone.” An evil glint flashes in his eyes as he leans forward, putting his lips beside her ear. Fury builds, fighting for escape as his lips move, his malicious gaze locked on me. “Call out for him.”

Randi shakes her head, then winces as Whit jams the barrel of the gun harder against her temple. “No.”

Whit tsks. “Wrong answer.”

A broken scream erupts from her parted lips. Unable to fight it any longer, I steal a glance down at Randi’s battered face. Eyes sealed, a pain-filled grimace scrunches her features.

What the hell is he doing to her?

“Stop,” I shout, the word out before I can hold it back. “Stop whatever the hell you’re doing.
