Chapter 9

Once Skye was calm, she had insisted Nate stay behind and help figure this out. Her worry for her friend trumping the fact that this was her wedding day.

“Nate, if that is Lacey up there, then there’s nobody else I want looking out for her than you and the team. There’ll be plenty more days for us, but if something happens to her while we’re down here having a good time, I’d never forgive myself.”

“Okay mi cielo,” he said tucking a curl behind her ear as Will, Zin, Decker, and Jack walked out. She lifted again and kissed him hard, and he felt all her worry in that one kiss.

He watched as she walked away and was greeted by a smiling Lucy. Lucy’s eyes met his, and he knew she knew. The nod she gave him told him that she would look after Skye. He turned to Will who was waiting, his hands on his hips, the black three-piece suit and grey shirt working as the perfect backdrop to the tattoos that now covered his entire neck and the backs of his hands.

“Talk to me,” he demanded as he lifted the laptop that was by his side and motioned towards the now empty reception desk. English had informed them that they had positioned uniformed officers on each floor and had locked everyone down.

“Hostage situation on the tenth floor, a man has taken a woman hostage.”

“Fuck a duck,” Will spat as he opened the computer and started typing like his fingers were on fire.

“Do we know who?” Zin asked.

Jack turned as Zack and Alex moved in behind him.

“No, but Lacey is missing.”

“Isn’t she the model friend of Skye’s?” Decker asked.

“Yeah, she is,” Nate nodded.

“Okay, I’m in,” Will said pulling up the CCTV for the hotel.

“English has given us unofficial authority to work this as we see fit as it looks like their resources are not going to be here for a few hours, and we might be their best option,” Zack said as they all peered over Will’s shoulder at the CCTV.

“Time frame?” Will asked.

“Within the last two hours. He took her out the back-fire exit and up the service lift according to an eyewitness.” Alex said.

Will tapped the keyboard and narrowed down the time frame, speeding up the frame, so it moved quickly until a man came on the screen. Nate could practically feel the barely sheathed aggression from the men that watched as the man from the night before pushed Lacey into the service lift. She fell, and he grabbed her, pulling her by her hair as he held a gun on her.

“Motherfucker!” Alex bit out.

Jack turned to Zack, his eyes assessing as he tilted his head in a silent question. “You want Fortis to run point on this or are you happy for Eidolon to do it?”

“You run it, but I want to be involved. My first priority is Ava and Riley. If shit goes down, I need to be there to protect them, but I won’t stand back and do nothing.
