“D-did Panther get the g-guns to turn o-off?” Beth asked. As much as she hated that her voice was shaking along with the rest of her, there was nothing she could do about it.

Knowing what she had survived, knowing she had killed to stay alive, none of it meant anything in this moment. Because deep down inside, she was no trained warrior, she was just a woman who had been forced to learn how to live through terror because it was either that or die.

Literally, those were her only two options.

The men there with her knew what they were doing, they were confident in their abilities, and while she had no doubt Axel was terrified for her safety, and all the other men on Bravo Team were afraid of not making it home to their loved ones, they weren't rocked by tremors like she was.

“I think he did, wisp,” Axel replied. His voice was soft and soothing. If it wasn’t for the way he pressed her down into the ground hard enough that it hurt and felt like she was being crushed, she would think he wasn’t affected by the gunshots.

“Then why aren't we getting up?” she asked, pleased when she managed to keep the shakes out of her voice that time.

“Because we don’t move until Panther himself tells us we’re all clear,” he replied evenly.

“But no more shots have come,” she reminded him. She wanted to get up, find that place, and tear it to the ground so no one else could ever be hurt there again.

“I won't risk you,” Axel said in a voice that very clearly communicated that arguing would be pointless.

Not that she wanted to argue anyway. Beth trusted her husband and these men who were the big brothers she’d dreamed of having as a child implicitly. But …

How could she ask them to keep risking their lives for her?

Just because she’d had amnesia and had been doing her best to keep her distance from all of Bravo Team not just her husband didn't mean she wasn’t aware of how many times they’d gone out hunting down a lead. Of course, she knew that they weren't in danger just because of her and what had happened to her. This was the job they had picked, the life they had chosen, and if it wasn’t she might never have survived Leonid Baranov’s House of Horrors.

But knowing they put themselves in danger to make the world a safer place, to save people like her, to kill people like Leonid Baranov, and knowing they were putting themselves in danger specifically for her because they loved her was so very different.

“We’ve gotta get out of here,” Panther called out, sounding breathless as footsteps suddenly pounded the ground around them.

In one smooth move, Axel hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her up with him. “What did you find?” he demanded.

“There were four stations with guns aimed in all directions. I disabled all four of them,” Panther replied.

To Beth, that sounded great, but obviously there was more bad news coming.
