And there it was.
Confirmation.
“I’ll kill him,” he muttered under his breath. “If he hurt him, he’s a dead man.”
Greyson stopped him.
“Bring him in. Gabe is going to want him to pay for his crimes. Don’t go cowboy on me, Cowboy. This makes it much more murky, and plays into Gabe’s hands. Think.”
Ethan pulled his arm away, and they headed into the building.
What wouldn’t he give for a job that wasn’t all about games and sick, twisted things?
It.
Was.
Exhausting.
They were moving through the abandoned building, and toward the location where all the locked doors were.
As they got closer, that’s when they all heard the blood curdling scream.
And Ethan knew.
The torture had begun.
He focused on the screaming, and they all headed that way. There was a door that had been previously locked. In fact, the chain was lying on the floor with the thick lock.
From behind it, they could hear more screaming from Gene.
Ethan wasn’t playing.
His lover, his boyfriend, and his partner was in danger, and he was being tortured. Those weren’t fun screams, but ones that told him bones were being broken.
There was no doubt Lucas was likely armed, and he only hoped he could get to Gene before Lucas got his gun pulled.
Greyson counted them down, and when he got to one, he yanked the door open.
Inside, they saw Gene strapped to a table, and the man beating on his arm, breaking it with the metal hammer.
The sound caught Lucas off guard.
Only, the agent was fast. He moved, pulling his gun, but Ethan already had his out. The sight of Gene bound to a table, his body being broken…
It made his vision go red with rage.
Without a word, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit Lucas Mayfield in the middle of the forehead.
And it dropped him.
“Oh, shit,” Greyson said, knowing that with the guy dying, the paperwork, and Gabe’s anger, was going to be at a much more intense level.
So much for just shooting him in the balls.
This was a clusterfuck.
This report was going to be a wild one. Corbin smelled like rum, and was sporting a gun—Ethan’s backup piece, Gene was captured, and now injured.
