Chapter Nineteen

JAMESON

Igently dump Gunner’s heavy ass onto the couch, wincing when I get a clear look at him under the bright light. They got him good. I focus on his injuries, so I don’t give into the almost manic need to hunt the fuckers down and end them.

I stare off into space, thinking about how I am going to dismember and get rid of the bodies, when Jace grabs my shoulders, squeezing just a little too hard to get my attention.

“Why don’t you get the supplies?” He shakes me slightly to make sure I’m listening, and I nod obediently. “Hicks and I will look after Gunner. You can help Ellis with Rue.”

It takes a second to process his words, then another beat to reel my anger back. I slowly unclench my hands, then nod and obediently rush to the closet where we store most of our supplies. While the bathrooms do have emergency kits, the back closet in the kitchen is a virtual doctor’s office.

Throwing open the door with a bang, I dart inside the room, then grab anything I think might be useful. Since I didn’t get a fucking chance to look too closely at either of their injuries, I don’t know what to bring.

As I load up my arms with supplies, I realize I can’t really blame my brother for giving me orders. He’s done it his whole life. If he doesn’t grab my attention before my mania takes hold, it’s nearly impossible to get me back on track until I finish my mission.

Large drops of blood splotch the floor like a macabre trail, and my anxiety ratchets up a notch at not knowing if that’s Gunner’s blood or Rue’s.

Neither is acceptable.

I pick up speed, uncaring that supplies escape my arms like rats fleeing a sinking ship. Rushing into the living room, I lean over the coffee table and release my hold on the supplies, dumping the lot of it, then I nearly trip over the shit when a few items slide off the table and land on the floor.

Cursing, I kick the items out of my way before dropping to my knees beside Ellis, who is still holding Rue in his arms. Heart thundering in my chest like it’s trying to escape the cage of my ribs, I completely ignore personal boundaries and lean up to cup her face.

“Where are you hurt, baby?” I grit my teeth against the impulse to snatch her from Ellis. The need to hold her and make sure she’s all right is nearly overpowering. My hands shake at the thought of her wading into the middle of a fight without me there to keep her safe.

Rue lifts her head from Ellis’ shoulder, and my breath catches when those big, beautiful teal eyes of hers land on me. The giant fist clamped
