Logan

Declan had to hold him down a few times, restraining him, making sure that Logan stayed in their bunker while they listened with headsets to the variety of methods Andrei employed to demean and disrespect Holly. The comments were barely tolerable, Logan clenching his jaw at each snide sexual remark. But that fucking slap . . .

He could hear it clearly and painfully through the hidden microphone. He knew it was the sound of Holly’s sweet face being whacked with the back of a man’s hand. He knew how badly it must have hurt, both her face and her pride. It was amazing that she didn’t react to it.

He couldn’t help himself from reacting, lurching up out of his seat. He was tackled back down by Declan, a DARC SWAT associate who Logan had assumed more or less was dispatched to watch over the team’s loose cannon.

“There’ll be a time for that later,” Declan said.

“There’s time right now.”

“No.”

Logan fought out of his grasp. “We can rush in there and end it now.”

“You can. I’m staying put.”

Logan pushed free and held the headset over his ears, listening to an ominous silence on Holly’s end.

“And it won’t even be ended,” Declan said. “They still have her cousin. You rush in now and pull some crazy stunt, and you can say goodbye to the hostage.”

Logan knew that would also mean a goodbye to Holly, too. For one, she might not even survive the attack, or she’d likely become the newest hostage. But even if she had survived, and her cousin wouldn’t, would she want anything to do with Logan? No way in hell.

A voice over the radio sounded. Tansy. “Alright, guys, she’s on the move. She’s leaving, and I think she’s leaving alone.”

A wave of relief washed over Logan, but still the embers of hatred and vengeance burned in him. The need for revenge, but only after Holly and Beth had been taken care of.

Declan said, “You ready?”

“Yeah, let’s pack up and get the hell out of here.”

He stuffed the fancy electronics into several metal cases, his mind working a little too fast for his liking. Skipping steps, rushing to worry instead of planning. He couldn’t separate himself from the case. Holly, the woman who he was fast realizing still meant the world to him, was under all kinds of stress and incoming threats. She wasn’t just another innocent victim. She used to be his very life. His everything. Maybe she still was.

Logan led the two-man team down the staircase, wanting and needing to get to Holly as soon as possible. To see her first and make sure she was okay. Then see Andrei and make sure he was most definitely not okay.

He and Declan had to cut through two more abandoned buildings, using them as cover until they came to the first meetup spot where he’d expected to find Holly. After a minute of waiting, their breathing finally slowing and easing, Jackson’s voice came on the radio to tell them to abort.

“She’s already with us,” Jackson said.
