“No, stay here. If Julian’s around, I don’t want us separated. The rest of the family’s on their way here.”
“But if he’s around, I’m worried about Genevieve.” I frown.
Just as he’s about to answer, Enea and Giacomo come in. Adonis is following them, blood dripping from his head. And now I’m panicking.
“Who did this?” Zeus asks as he grabs the first aid kit.
“Julian and Randall. They came up behind me and hit me. I’m going to fucking eat them,” Adonis snarls.
“We need to get back down there and find them. I can check the security cameras. We have them in the elevators and hallways.”
“Adonis, Eros, Apollo, Zeus and I will go with you,” Giacomo says to me.
“When you find out, I’ll meet you wherever they went,” Enea says to him.
I lead them to the security room and we find the footage we need. We watch them get onto the elevator and then we see Julian hit Adonis. Then we watch them point their guns at my Genevieve and Seraphina. I’m going to kill him with my own two hands.
We watch them get off on the tenth floor and they go into room ten-fifteen. How the fuck did they get a room without us knowing?
“Let’s get back upstairs so we can formulate a plan. I don’t like going into situations like this without a plan,” Giacomo says to us.
We all agree and head back up. My body feels like it’s vibrating. Julian had a gun to my Genevieve’s head and he’s going to fucking pay for that. I don’t care what anyone says. As soon as we step back into the room, I look at everyone.
“I need to be in on this. I can’t wait here or stand on the side and watch. That fucker took my woman and he needs to pay.”
“I understand why you feel you need to be there. But you have to understand that we’re used to this. You’re not,” Enea says to me.
“Are you saying I’ll be in the way?” I frown.
“Not at all. I’m saying that we can anticipate what each other will do. And Genevieve will need you when this is over. If something were to happen to you, who will take care of her?”
Why does he have to make sense? Fuck.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
Michel
“Panagiotis, Eros, Adonis, Apollo and I should be the ones at the door first. If they shoot, we can survive that,” Zeus says.
“I agree. But I should shift, I would suggest one of you too, but I doubt you’ll fit in the hallway or the room.”
Zeus laughs. “One downfall of being a polar bear.”
“When this is over and everyone’s safe, I really want to see your polar bears,” I say to them.
“We can arrange that.” Zeus smiles. “Now let’s go get Genevieve and Seraphina.”
“Am I really supposed to wait here?” I grumble at them.
“I mean, we can use the company.” Sebastiano squints at me as he’s tapping into our security system.
I watch them work and I realize I need to learn some things from them. Sebastiano and Francesco are getting the monitors up with the footage from the elevators and the hallway. I see the others getting ear pieces in.
“Intercoms. This is how we make sure we’re all safe,” Enea says to me.
“Okay, we all know what we’re doing, right?” Giacomo asks.
Everyone nods.
