CHAPTER FIVE

Callie hadn’t cried once through this entire horrific ordeal, not until Felix delivered that first kick to Tony’s stomach. Then he kicked again and again. The awful cracking sound when his boot met the chair—she couldn’t tamp down the terror that it was Tony’s back cracking under the weight.

Afterward, when Felix pulled out the gun, all the air left the room. She wasn’t afraid for herself, which was crazy because Felix made no bones about his plans for her. All she could think about was losing Tony.

Tony, who had just ended someone’s life right in front of her eyes.

Her stomach flipped over, then flipped again as Donovan burst through the door, gun drawn.

It took him only a second to survey the situation. Felix dead. Tony, breathing heavy and a cut bleeding from above his eyebrow. And of course, her, still trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

“Dammit, Messina,” he growled at Tony. “This is my second guy you’ve killed today.”

“He touched her.”

Donovan’s gaze flicked over to Callie. “Stupid shit. He was on his last strike with me anyway.”

Tony wiped at the blood on his face with the back of his hand. “Any word on Lilah?”

“Dead. We both knew it would end this way.” He lowered his gun a fraction of an inch. “Now I’m stuck with you two.”

Tony took a step forward, and Donovan raised the gun again instantly, halting him in his tracks, and stealing the breath from Callie’s lungs.

“Let her go.” Tony put his hand over his heart. “Please. You know she has nothing to do with this. Kill me if you want to. I won’t fight you. Or maybe you want me to work for you. Whatever it takes. I’ll deal with the fallout.”

“Donnie, what did I tell you about bringing hostages to the warehouse?” A stunning blond entered the room wearing a black peacoat over dark jeans. “This is a legitimate business.”

She froze when she saw Tony. “What are you doing here?” She rushed toward him. “I never thought I’d see you again.”

What was happening? Callie couldn’t tell if the woman was friend or foe.

Donovan grabbed the blond by the arm and yanked her back. “Stay back, Anna. That’s Tony Messina.”

Anna shook off his hold. “I don’t care what his name is, this is the guy who saved my life.”

Donovan put himself between Anna and Tony. “Start talking, man.”

“I can’t believe it.” Tony leaned against the wall, pain and exhaustion peeking through his stony expression. “Had to be, what, ten years ago? The only mark I ever let walk away.”

“I was at the wrong place at the wrong time, saw something I shouldn’t.” Anna peeked her head around Donovan.

“She was pregnant. I knew what I was supposed to do, but I couldn’t do it.” Tony shrugged. “She never breathed a word.”

Donovan tucked his gun into the holder under his arm. “Fuck. That was you? My wife—my son—they mean everything to me. How can I repay you?”

Tony waved his hand in Callie’s direction. “Maybe start by untying my girl?”

Anna was the one who pulled a knife from her back pocket at cut the ropes.
