“What happened?” Travis asked.
“I think you got caught up in my mess.”
And it wasn’t over yet. Gabriel could still hear gunshots hitting the front of the house. When the window shattered, he dove over the top of Travis, covering the man with his body. He felt Chay come down over the top of him.
“I’m getting really tired of this shit, mate,” Gabriel snapped through the bond he held with Chay. “We need to do something.”
“We need to get Travis and Aldrik into the bathroom in the hallway. The window there is too small for anyone to come through. They should be safe in there.”
The moment Chay climbed off of him, Gabriel scrambled to his feet, grabbed Travis, and pulled him down the hallway toward the bathroom. “Aldrik, get your ass in here, and bring some towels.”
Dom and Aldrik stumbled into the room, staying close to the wall. Gabriel pulled Travis into the bathroom and settled him down in the walk-in shower. It had three sides on it. That should keep them relatively safe.
When Aldrik stepped into the bathroom with a stack of towels, Gabriel waved his hand toward Travis. “Can you take care of him? He’s been shot in the arm.”
Aldrik immediately moved into the shower stall with Travis and began to apply pressure to the wound.
“Where are you going?” Aldrik asked when Gabriel started for the door.
Gabriel paused at the door and glanced back at his new friend and his guardian. “I’m going to finish this once and for all.”
