Chapter 15
CAM
It’s Rod.
I paused halfway to my truck with Shep right alongside. I spun on my heel and shouted, “COLT!”
I sprinted back to the house, stuck my head inside but Colt was right there. I hopped back.
“Rod Severs is with Taylor,” I said. He hadn’t been sighted in weeks and now he was with Taylor.
Colt had gone off duty an hour ago and had come right to our parents’ house directly from the station, but was still in his uniform.
His gaze hardened and quickly followed me outside to the line of vehicles beside the house. “Where?”
“She said her car stalled on Miller Road. She said her father pulled up behind her but it was Rod who got out. He has her dad’s car.”
Colt was, understandably, the serious one out of the nine siblings. But it was moments like this, when there was a fucking attempted murderer with my girl on the side of the road with no way to get away that showed how fucking good he was at his job.
“Shit,” he muttered, running to his patrol SUV. “Follow me.”
“Red, you still there?” I asked, raising my cell back to my ear.
“He’s coming toward the car!” she shouted.
“Roll up your windows and lock your doors,” I told her as I climbed into my truck, started my engine.
Shep was already in the passenger seat buckling his seatbelt. It was almost impossible to wait for Colt to pull out ahead of us, but he had the lights and sirens.
Colt sped down the dirt drive at a fast pace. Dirt and stones kicked up, but I didn’t give a shit as they sprayed my windshield.
“Holy shit, he’s got a tire iron,” she said. I heard the panic in her voice.
It matched the panic I had in my heart.
