“You’ve got tracking on her phone right,” Malik asked as we ran through the woods. My phone rang as soon as he asked the question.

“She’s about a mile ahead,” I said, running with Malik trailing behind me. I prayed it wasn’t just her phone and that Fio was still attached to it. The tracking device showed her in the woods we didn’t know what it would lead to but I didn’t care. I just wanted Tatum in my arms, safe. It dawned on me that it could be a trap, but at this point, I would run into a burning building if it meant I could see her again.

“What’s the ETA?” Malik asked me.

I glanced down at the tracker. “Three minutes or so if we keep our pace.”

Then I saw her platinum blond hair, it was like a beacon of light in the darkness. As we approached, I could see that she was tied up, but standing on her own account. I felt my heart calm down and quicken all at once, glad she was safe but furious that she was tied to a tree by these assholes. I felt a scream rising in me again as I watched the three men circulating her. I pulled my gun out, not caring about being careful just wanting to rip their heads off their bodies.

Malik grabbed me and tackled me as easily as he did when we were kids. Then he basically sat on my chest to hold me back.

“Let me fucking kill them. I’ll shoot their dicks off,” I raved.

All I could see was red, I would have even taken Malik down to get to my girl. My Tatum. My Fio. Those assholes had what belonged to me, someone I cared for and I was going to make them bleed for even thinking they could fuck with her.

“I’m a better shot,” Malik said carefully and with measure. “Make your way over there, keep your head on straight. I’ll cover you.”

I nodded and Malik got off me. I rolled on my back and looked up at the sky squinting. I signed the cross over myself, not really sure why I did it, I stopped believing a long time ago. Maybe it was a habit, maybe it was a hail mary.

I started making my way toward Tatum, then I heard a gunshot and a second later I saw one of Gabrielli men’s heads explode.

I ran, crouching in the brush, needing to get to Tatum before they realized what was happening.

Malik shot again, another guy fell into a heap on the ground. My brother was a hitman and you could see it in his shot. I heard Malik behind me catching up and I was so incredibly grateful for my brother and his skill that my heart swelled like a balloon in my chest.

We were going to get my girl. She was going to be safe.

The third guy started shooting wildly toward us, a bullet just missed my head mere inches, but it didn’t even faze me.
