Shawn’s muscles refused to respond. They’d solidified into stone when the bag descended over Kara’s head. His brewery was burning. At least one of his employees was dead. He had nothing, no control. He was fucking powerless as the men dragged Kara stumbling away.

The nothingness receded. Blinding anger and fury flooded into the empty space where he welcomed it. The fire raging deep inside him warmed his body back into action. He bolted to Jason, who’d already drawn the Glock pistol usually concealed inside his suit. His hardened eyes didn’t change when they focused on Shawn. The years of law enforcement training must have kicked in and Jason came to his feet, his gaze sweeping the lawn for any potential threat.

“Are you going to just stand there?” Shawn lashed out in German. Every second Kara was out of his sight…

His brother’s gaze found Markus. “Take L and get out of the city,” he ordered the bodyguard, and then Jason slammed his mouth against his wife’s in a hurried kiss.

“Ich liebe dich,” she said. “Go!”

And finally his brother moved toward the hole between the burning trucks that Kara had been taken through. Jason didn’t say a damn thing when Shawn kept up with him step for step. There wasn’t time for it, anyway —

A rough, strong hand grabbed at the center of his shirt and yanked Shawn to a stop. “This could be a fucking trap,” Jason said urgently. “Stay behind me.”

When he released the fistful of shirt, he shoved Shawn backward so hard that it almost sent him down into the grass. Because it was dangerous going through that opening. Jason leveled his gun at the center and stalked towards it, vanishing in the smoke. No gunfire sounded. Shawn hurried after him.

It was blisteringly hot and the smell of burning rubber choked him. The air was so thick he felt like he had to fight against it to move forward. There was no point keeping his eyes open; they were burning and it was pitch black in the fog. He covered his mouth with a hand to quiet the desperate urge to cough, ducked his head down, and barreled through. He came out the other side, his eyes watering and searching wildly for his brother.

There was a blur of movement heading for the parking lot. His brother’s plan was to get to his BMW as fast as possible, and Shawn was going to have to fucking hurry or else he was going to be left behind. Pavement gritted under his shoes as he skidded to a stop at the passenger door and jumped in. Tires squealed as they flew backward out of the space and then launched forward, tearing for the main gate.

Up in the distance, two pairs of taillights streaked right past the security booth. No one stopped them. The gate was wide open. One pair of lights swung right, quickly followed by the other as the gunmen left the brewery and sped off.

“Fucking drive!” Shawn yelled over the roaring engine.
