A noise from the front of the house alerted her that someone was trying to gain entrance. Placing a hand over Katya’s mouth, she woke the little girl up, telling her to stay quiet. She picked her up and moved into the bathroom where she placed Katya in the dumbwaiter, lowering her down to the laundry room. Kat knew the drill; they had gone over it many times. Echo waited for Kat to tug on the rope, letting her know she was safe. Echo closed the little door with relief. Turning, she eased back out into the bedroom and took the gun from the top of the hutch. She had placed it there when she started sleeping in Kat’s room.

Now with her daughter out of the way, she was on the hunt for the intruder. She had lived around ruthless people for years, so she had some idea of what needed to be done. Knowing they hadn’t gained entrance yet, Echo wanted to pull the door open and slam the butt of the revolver in their face. It seemed time stood still until she heard muffled screams followed by heavy footfalls out in the stairwell. Voices could be heard out on the street; Echo ran for the stairs, wanting Katya back with her.

Taking the back stairs, Echo went to grab Katya, only to find she wasn’t there. Not knowing where her daughter was or if someone had kidnapped her had a panic-stricken Echo running out into the night, strangling her cries as she frantically looked for her daughter. A hundred questions ran through her mind as she turned the corner of the building. There were Gypsy Kings members all over the street. She saw Crow holding Katya. Tabor and Wick approached her cautiously. Echo ignored them, she just wanted to get to her child.

“Echo.”

“I just want to get Katya.”

“Give me the gun, babe.”

Glancing down, she remembered she had grabbed the gun once Kat was at the bottom floor. Her thoughts had only been about saving her child by any means. With a shaky hand Echo handed the gun to Tabor. Looking over Tabor’s shoulder, she watched him turn, waving Crow over. Echo took her child as Crow handed her off. “How did you know there was an intruder?”

Tabor tousled Katya’s hair, telling Echo that the little girl had run to the clubhouse. When she burst through the door, he had been working on his bike. He smiled at Echo. “You said if she ever whispered in my ear it would be important and I should listen. I listened.”

“Thank you all so much.” Turning for her apartment, she noticed a man wearing Gypsy Kings colors approaching her. Tabor stepped back and tugged her to him.

“Echo, this is Gypsy.”

Gypsy looked over Echo, and his smile came slowly as he noticed the possession in which Tabor held her. Now it all made sense, this was the reason it took his friend so long to heal. The woman before him was simply beautiful and just what Tabor needed to settle him down—so he hoped.
