Allen stared at Vince. “Get out of my way. Now.”
“Hell, Jacobson, you know I can’t let you through.”
“I’m going in there.” Everyone else had been evacuated through the emergency exit of the surgical ward. They’d only had two patients in procedures at the moment—Shelby and a child. “Izzie’s in there with a madman.”
Allen had arrived as Cage and his team were prepping Shelby to move her. Nikkie Jean’s patient and the rest of the surgical team had already been evacuated safely. They were now in the east wing—as far away from this section of the hospital as possible.
No one knew where Izzie was.
Until Allen had come face-to-face with Izzie’s father.
He’d been leading the evacuations of the two surgical teams. He’d told Allen what he knew.
Henedy had Izzie and his wife in the waiting room. Alone.
Allen had cursed and ran to the rear entrance to the waiting room.
Vince had already been there, locking down the surgical ward.
Now…Vince was all that stood between Allen and Izzie. “Move.”
“Hell, Allen, you know I can’t let you in there. It’ll be my head.”
“That’s my world in there. What if it was Cherise in there? What would you do then?”
That had Vince hesitating. Then the older man shook his head. “I understand. I can’t let you in there. That would just be giving him one more hostage. Rafe is on his way up now. The TSP are on their way back. They’ll get her out of there.”
Allen wasn’t waiting around for that to happen.
