Four or Dead

"Is it done?" My dad asks as soon as he answers my call

"Yeah, she's with him now," I reply through a clenched jaw

Andrea and her girls were more violent than I had expected and me and the guys were ready to screw the plan and step in to protect Emma, but she called us off with one look. She has that power over us, but I wish I had stepped in any way and thrown everything away to keep her from leaving. Watching Zane come to her rescue and putting his hands on her makes me sick to my stomach

"She agreed to update me as soon as she is settled. I'll be monitoring her as best I can son, don't worry." My dad sounded like he actually cared, but how could he if he agreed to this?Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"There is nothing you can do now dad. She is in a den of wolves and has no idea what to expect. We know nothing about that man and his crew

Hell, we didn't even know anything until Emma brought us a name. So how are you going to help her? You can't! If she dies dad I swear I will kill you. Do you hear me?" I end the call before he can reply to my threats

I don't care that he's my father. If my girl is killed, everyone in our crew will pay with blood. I will burn the whole thing down if anything happens to her

"She'll let us know when she's safe," Leo says laying his hand on my shoulder. '

"T don't like this. What if they take her phone? We won't know anything if she cant contact us. I hate this!" I yell slamming my fist into the closest locker

"None of us like this man, but it's done. Now we need to wait. So stop punching things because the only thing that it will do is hurt you. It won't bring her back." Logan adds and I turn to him and scowl

"She put the necklace on this morning. We can keep track of her with that. She isn't alone." Jayden reminds us. \°

We are all standing in the hallway looking through the windows of the double doors at the spot where Emma was taken. As soon as the act was ended we escaped the girls we had tricked into helping us. I felt sick having Andrea near me like that and kissing her felt like my skin was being burned. I hated that girl's every cell and I was glad the moment I could tell her off

We made sure we didn't say too much because knowing Andrea's big mouth, word could get back to Zane that this whole thing was a setup

"T want to skin those girls alive for hurting Emma. I just might." Logan growls out as we turn and head back down the hallway

Thank god we are graduating in a few weeks. I'll be happy to be out of this hell hole, but I guess we'll be thrown back into another. My dad has

something planned for us I can tell. Agreeing to Emma's plan shifted something in him. I saw the way he looked at her. He's infatuated with her, but it doesn't seem like he tried anything. Emma would have told us if he had, but that tells me one thing...he won't let anything happen to her either

The idea of my dad having any attraction to our girl makes me want to put a gun to his head but if his fascination with her keeps her alive I don't care. At least not now, but when the right time comes I am going to kick his ass. (*)

"So should we ditch the rest of the day?" Logan suggests and I let out a huff of a laugh

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

"Yeah. Let's go." I say heading for my locker

We grab our stuff and leave. I want to get home and check on Jayden's tracker. He set it up to relay to his phone but that only alerts him on location not the sound it picks up. I still don't know how he got the crazy thing but it's going to be our saving grace if Emma is in trouble

ee

When we get back home Jayden immediately grabs his laptop and we all sit around the living room table and wait for him to pull up the software

"Are you sure that thing picks up sound? It's like the size of a dime." Logan asks again. II)

"It's advanced technology so yes. I wouldn't have gone with anything less than the best for Emma." Jayden assured us

"So how was your night? Emma is always too quiet I can never tell."

Logan asks with a mischievous smirk. \*) Leo punches him in the arm hard and Logan laughs

"She enjoyed it and so did I. Why jealous?" Jayden asks not even lifting his eyes from the screen

"Hell yeah! I am going to get our girl to scream though." He says threading his hands behind his head and smiling proudly

"You won't. Emma spent her whole life being threatened not to make a sound when her father beat her. I don't think it's in her to scream." Leo

points out and Logan's smile falls

"Yeah," Logan says with a sigh. "I wish I could bring that guy back just to kill him all over again. His death was too quick."

"T go for efficiency. You know that. Torture is your thing, and it wasn't

like there was time." Jayden says and I shiver

That guy was cold-hearted pure and simple which made him a perfect killer. Maybe it was watching his whole family murdered, but he could kill with a flick of his finger. He is deadly, far more so than the rest of us. He probably felt nothing about killing that bastard, he was only worried about what Emma would think. Our girl was thankfully not

completely traumatized from the experience. \*

Those two were an odd pair but he needs her just like the rest of us, more so. That's why we were fine letting him have Emma's last night

That and because she wanted to have that time alone with him. Jayden slips into the background with ease but Emma always keeps her eye on him. It's almost like she knows exactly what goes on with him. She knew they needed to connect on that level to seal their bond

She is brilliant like that. She has no doubts that Leo and Logan know where they stand with her, but Jayden doesn't think he deserves her

She wanted to show him that he does, that even when she's gone...we are all a part of her. Our friend may be cold-hearted but with Emma, he hides a list of fears. She is light and he is shadow, two things that can never touch and yet they do. So yeah we let him have one night, but as soon as Emma is back he is going to have to get in line

We all planned on claiming our girl at least a few times when she is back with us. Maybe even all at once. The thought makes me smile to myself and when I glance up at Logan he smirks like he knows exactly what I'm thinking

"Tt's up," Jayden says and I shake away my less than appropriate thoughts, and join the guys around the screen

"Tt looks like they've been over half the city. They are probably trying to get rid of any possible tails." Jayden says and I nod

The guy wasn't an idiot

"Where are they?" Leo asks

"Here, but there is one of many high rises there. It's not specific on what level or room she's in. If we stormed the place we could spend hours trying to find her and they could escape long before we find her." Jayden explains and I scowl

Smart move Zane

"That's smart. He probably has his whole organization spread across all his properties for that reason." Leo adds

We couldn't go in now if we wanted to. We needed Emma to tell us where she is when the time comes. She had a plan to get a message to us if she couldn't reach us through calls or texts. We would watch every day for that message and when it comes we'll be ready with an army behind us
