Chapter 14 - Matvei
My heart hammers in my chest. I press the gas down to the floor and check my phone again. A dot blinks on the map. Anyaâs location. Yeah, I put a tracker in the sole of her sneakers and everything else of hers I could find because Iâm not about to risk her trying to take off again. Turns out, I was right not to trust her.
It took me all of two minutes to realize she was gone once my brothers left. Zephir, her shadow, was pacing in the entry by the door. After checking her bedroom, I jumped in the car and opened the app. Sheâd gotten pretty farâthree miles on foot.
Part of me wondered if I should just let her go. After what happened in the car, maybe she wanted nothing more to do with me. I could hardly blame her for that when I was still disgusted with myself. The other part of me was worried sick about her trying to make it back to her family on foot, with no phone and no money.
It was completely reckless. I pity her brothers for having to spend their lives trying to keep her out of trouble.
The dot is getting closer. I veer off the main road onto a side street and start scanning. About a hundred feet down the road, a black SUV is pulled over. Two figures stand beside it. Is one of them Anya? I speed up.
As I get closer, I realize there are three figures by the side of the road, and one of them is Anya. One man is pointing a gun at her while another is manhandling her, trying to shove her into the backseat of the car. Sheâs kicking and fighting like a wildcat to get away.
Fuck. I draw my gun and aim through the windshield as I hit the brakes, praying the one-way ballistics glass does its job. The bullet hits the gunman in the shoulder, knocking him down, and the man holding Anya drops her to grab his own gun. His first shot hits the windshield, and I fire back, skidding to a stop right beside their car.
The shot takes him in the gut, and he sprawls back against the side of the SUV, clutching at the wound. Everything moves in slow motion. I fire another shot as I step out of the car, right to his head, and another at the man with the shoulder wound before he can aim again. Two down. Is there a third?
Anya sprints for my car, and the SUV guns it, taking off down the road. I fire a few shots at the back of it, but Iâm distracted, focused on Anya and whether or not sheâs hurt. The bullets hit the back of the car, but it keeps going, and I let it, turning to catch Anya when she reaches me.
She trembles in my arms. Sobs rack her delicate body.
âAre you okay?â I ask, wrapping my arms around her and holding her tight.
