A pained grunt sounds before the clatter of shit falling to the floor trails behind it.
The big guy behind me thrusts past, getting inside just to receive a punch in the face.
It’s a brawl.
Whoever has been locked up in that room is fed up and has been biding their time for the perfect opportunity to strike.
What the hell is this?
“Boris!” one of the men yells out. “Get the fuck in here!”
Shit.
I’m about to take my shot and get the hell out of here when I connect with dark blue eyes and fury that suddenly shows up in my line of sight.
“Go.”
Ozzy.
I stare at him—completely off-kilter by him being here, how he got here, what the hell is even happening—but I’m not going toleavehim here.
“C’mon,” I quickly urge, reaching out for him. “We need to?—”
He lifts his left arm, revealing heavy chains, before he cocks back with his foot and lands a kick to one of the guys now on the floor.
Then he’s linebacked and disappears out of my sight.
“Oz.”
I forge inside the room, stepping over the leg of the smaller guy because, of course, it’d be the big-ass one who didn’t go down.
He has Ozzy pinned against the wall with his forearm, and I jump him.
With my arm wrapped tightly around the dude’s throat, I use all my weight and allow my feet to dangle to choke him out.
He staggers back a bit, giving up a bit on Ozzy’s throat while my husband delivers a blow to his gut.
The man vigorously whips left and right to get me off him, but he’s no match to my positioning and how he’s about to go down.
“Go on,” Ozzy orders, delivering another punch to the guy’s jaw. “Let go.”
My face scrunches because…he’s my husband.
He’s protected me.
He’sbeenthere.
I’m not going to abandon him.
“Boris!” the man chokes out again. “In here!”
“Where are the keys to the chains, asshole?” I grind out through clenched teeth, tightening my hold on the guy.
He answers by pivoting and slamming my spine into a metal filing cabinet.
Ouch.
I grapple a bit with my hold, getting some of his hair between my fingers and yanking at anything I can. “Listen,prick.Iwillchoke you out.Where?”
