Chay nodded in the direction of the clinic. “He’s going in to do a little recon under the ruse of taking his kitten in for her first exam.”
That was actually pretty smart. It was also dumb as fuck. If the guys searching for them knew who Gabe was, they’d know the second he stepped through the doors that there was trouble.
“Tell him to be careful,” Dom advised. “If they know who Gabe is…”
Dom didn’t need to add any more. The way the blood drained from Chay’s face said the man got it.
“Let’s head in the back way,” Dom suggested.
“How?” Chay fell into step beside Dom.
“Give me a minute.” Dom concentrated on sending a message to Keeland again. “Special K, we’re here. Chay and I are going to come in the back. Is there any way you can unlock the back door?”
Dom waited for Keeland to respond, then asked,“Keeland?”
He didn’t like the fact that Keeland didn’t answer him. It made him edgy. Well, edgier. His nerves were already pretty shot. He glanced at Chay. “He’s not answering me.”
“Keep trying,” Chay replied. “I’ll see what Gabe has to say.”
As they reached the corner of the clinic building, Chay grabbed Dom’s arm. Dom could tell from the grimace on his face that something was wrong. “What?”
“Keeland’s not there.”
Dom stiffened. “What do you mean he’s not there?” he snapped. Where else would he be?
“Gabe said Keeland’s car is still in the parking lot, but he went in and the entire building is empty.”
“Chay, I can’t…” Panic and rage swamped Dom. His panther roared, clawing at his insides. He wasn’t going to be able to keep his panther from coming out. The need to hunt down whoever had taken his mate and rip them to shreds was overwhelming.
“He has to be here,” Dom insisted. He just had to be. Dom didn’t think he could handle it if something happened to his Special K. He needed Keeland more than he'd ever thought he would. The man was his only reason for breathing.
“Dom, I think he’s been kidnapped.”
Dom stared, hard. “Gee, ya think?”
