Chapter 10

Caris

I jolted as a loud bang ripped through the air. The sharp echo was still ringing in my ears when I glanced up at Syd and watched in shock and horror as blood exploded from his shoulder and sprayed my face… Watched helplessly as he flew through the air, crying out in pain and landing on his back in the front yard.

Screams of raw terror tore from my throat as I started to stand and run to him. I was still crouched down when strong arms banded my waist and lifted me off the ground. A whole new level of horror thundered through me as I struggled and screamed and fought with all my might.

“I’m Cole, your bodyguard. Stop squirming so I can get you to safety,” the man growled in my ear.

Cole cinched me tighter as he pulled a gun from his side, hunched his massive body around mine, and whisked me off my feet and ran toward the limo. A second man, who had to be Mia’s other bodyguard, Brad, sprinted past us. Peering around Cole’s wide shoulder, I watched Brad snatch Syd’s limp body off the ground, toss him over his shoulder like a ragdoll, and sprint after us.

The limo door swung open. Ozzy—whose face was etched with the same level of fear pounding through me—reached out and pulled me into the vehicle as Cole released me. Mia, softly crying, wrapped her arms around me. Guarding the mouth of the door, Cole raised his weapon, squared his shoulders, and scanned the woods with a dark, threatening gaze.

When Brad, with Syd still draped over his broad shoulder, ducked toward the door, Cole leapt inside and helped guide his partner through the opening. Ozzy squeezed in behind the two men and slammed the door shut. As Cole and Brad eased Syd onto the floor, Ozzy turned and yelled to the driver, “Get us the fuck out of here, now!”

Blood gushed from the wound in Syd’s shoulder as I slid off the seat next to Mia and dropped to my knees beside him. The limo lurched as I shucked off my coat and, with trembling fingers, pressed the heavy cotton fabric to the angry bullet hole. Syd groaned but didn’t open his eyes.

“Ozzy, I need the first aid kit under the seat across from Mia,” Cole instructed.

“Heads up,” Ozzy called, launching a black duffle to the man.

Tears streamed down Mia’s cheeks as Ozzy wrapped his arms around her and whispered something in her ear. I wanted to break down alongside her, but the demand to keep Syd alive thwarted my weak, fragile feelings.

“Scoot out of the way, Caris,” Brad ordered in a low, calm tone. How anyone could be so collected at a time like this defied all comprehension. “I need you to move, now, Caris. I have to see if the bullet’s still inside and pack Syd’s wound. He’s losing too much blood.”

“I-is he going to die?” My voice cracked as a tear slid down my cheek.

“Not today,” Brad assured, jerking his chin.
