Chapter Thirteen

Micah Walsh

I wasn’t sure how long we’d been unconscious or how much longer it had taken to find Jasmine’s friends at the shelter downtown, alert everyone, and appeal for help to find her. But we did it.

They were shocked to see us; we looked like shit, all battered, bruised, and bleeding, but we horrified them with our story.

We were doing the best we could, but my anxiety and fear over what might have happened to Jasmine increased with every minute that passed.

And so did my anger.

“I’ll kill that son of a bitch,” I muttered, keeping my eyes on the road as Axel and I sped along the county highway leading out of town. “He’d better hope we don’t find his ass.”

It was strange to be driving my truck after spending so much time riding around in Axel’s newer, nicer pickup. But since that newer, nicer pickup was probably floating along halfway to the Gulf Coast by that point, it was either my ride or no ride at all.

“You can’t kill him,” Axel said, the muscles in his jaw clenching as he stared straight forward. “Because I’m going to kill him first.”

“I can’t believe his granny tried to pretend like he hadn’t gone and lost his damn mind.” I shook my head, remembering the way Randy’s grandmother, Molly, had reacted when we’d confronted her at the shelter. “As if we’d made the story up while we stood there bleeding all over the place.”

“Nobody wants to admit their own kin is a psycho.” He scrubbed a hand down his face and took a deep breath, finally looking away from the road for a moment. “To her credit, she did finally give us some idea of where he might be.”

“Yeah, because she knows deep down that he’s a crazy son of a bitch.” Which was absolutely true. But Axel was right. We wouldn’t have any idea where to start looking if Molly hadn’t given us some leads.

Muriel, Poppy, and the other guys had gone off in different directions across town to cover all our bases, but Axel and I decided to head straight for Randy’s most likely hiding place—his dad’s old hunting cabin.

Remote and secluded out in the middle of nowhere, it was exactly the place I would choose if I were trying to get away from everyone.

“Do you think he hurt her? Jasmine, I mean.” Axel’s voice was low and deadly. “Because I swear to God—”

“I know.” I cut him off. “Don’t even say it. Jasmine is tough. She’ll be okay. We’re gonna make sure she’s okay.”

Neither of us had to say the scary part out loud. The part where Randy would have had time to do anything he wanted with her while we’d been knocked out.

Fuck.

Fuck.

My hands tightened on the steering wheel, and I pushed the gas pedal down to the floor. We had to get there in time to help her. We had to. There wasn’t any other alternative.

“What are the chances the road we’re supposed to take is
