JO
“What are you doing?” Harrison hisses, his hand covering my mouth. I yank it down and turn to glare at him. Before I can even open my mouth to tell him off, I hear something. I shove Harrison off me and sprint back down the stairs. Pushing my ear to the door, I hear it again.
“Jo! Bambi, is that you?”
“Ezra!” I scream, choking up at the sound of his voice. “I’m here! Is Maverick with you?”
“No! I don’t know where he is.” Even through the thick metal, I can hear the pain in his voice, the hope being lost. If Maverick isn’t with either of us, then where the fuck is he?
“We’re gonna get you out!” Kai yells.
“I’m not alone! Get medics out here!” Ezra calls back.
“Medics? Fuck,” Kai says, already dialing. “How many?”
“One, but she’s in rough shape.”
“Alright. Martha, can you take all these weapons back to Jeanne? I don’t know how legal they are, and we don’t need the added trouble when the police get here,” Harrison says. Martha nods, and Declan helps her gather everything and put it into the trunk of her car.
There’s nothing left to do but wait, and I hate waiting.
