I wish I was with them to carry her to safety, but I’m doing my part by being here.By finding the other piece to this puzzle so we can make sure she’s safe.
“Were they going to meet us here?”a woman says.She holds on to Tom’s arm as they step off the deck onto the dock.She’s dark haired and dark eyed and smiles up at him like he’s her hero.
When I look at Tom, he’s smiling.That fucking bastard is smiling.
“No—” Tom cuts himself off as his green eyes meet mine.When he stops, the smile melts off his face as fear settles in.He glances at Drew and surges forward.“Wyatt, what’s happened?”
I don’t even think.All the energy that’s been bottled up inside me since we woke to find Sara missing explodes.I step in before I even realize it and punch him in the jaw.
When he stumbles backward, Natasha grabs him as he falls on his ass.
“What the fuck is that for?”Tom’s eyes narrow on me.
“She’s gone, you asshole.And it’s your fucking fault.”
Natasha covers her mouth as her eyes widen.
“What?”Tom’s face is caught between worry and anger.Like he has any right to be angry when he caused this mess.
Drew glances around and offers Tom his hand to help him up.“Perhaps we can take this somewhere more private to discuss your sister’s disappearance.”
“Where’s Sara?”Tom bats Drew’s hand away.
“Inside.”Drew reiterates and crosses his arms, standing between me and Tom.
I don’t know that I can keep from hitting him again.When he rises to his feet and brushes off his pants, Natasha takes his hand.Her eyes flit between all of us and she puts her hand over Tom’s heart.
The glint of a diamond on her left hand catches my eye.For fuck’s sake.I can’t help saying, “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“Wyatt, can we please take this inside?”Drew glances around again.
I step forward and Natasha moves in front of Tom to fucking protect him from me.I laugh.“You put Sara in danger for her?”
Tom shakes his head.“You don’t understand.”
“What don’t I understand, Tom?How it feels to want someone so much you’d give almost anything to have them?Please tell me how I wouldn’t know how that feels?”
Tom’s eyes burn into mine, but fuck him.
“Can we talk on the ship?”Drew blows out a breath as he asks Natasha.
She focuses on him.“Yes.”
“Good.Take him.I’ll bring Wyatt.”
She nods.Drew steps up to me and puts his hand on my shoulder as Natasha and Tom return to the yacht.
“I’m glad you did that because I don’t think I would have made a good impression if I’d been the one to deck him.”Drew smiles and he searches my eyes.“Do you have it together?We need him.We need her.Let’s figure out what’s happening here.Okay?”
I nod and narrow my eyes on Tom’s hand in hers.Yeah, it’s time I got some answers.

The car broke down a few miles from our destination.It’s not broken but the tire is blown.Dante and X are working on it while I pace.The sky is already lightening.We’re losing the night that was supposed to help us sneak in.At this rate, we’ll need to lie low until tonight, leaving Sara in there for another day.
