Chapter Thirty-Four

There was blood everywhere, but I couldn’t feel a damn thing. I was numb. All I wanted was to find Faith. Sean had been taken away, and I hoped it was to a ditch somewhere. I wanted to kill him, but one look at Faith and I couldn’t.

“Where is she?” I growled as Marco and Micah helped me out of the ring.

Reed frantically searched through the crowd and sighed. “She’s gone. I watched Cadoc and William take her away.”

Once we were in the locker room, I marched over to my clothes. “Let’s go. We can’t waste any time.”

Micah grabbed my shoulders and pushed me down on the bench. “You’re not going to be any good to her like this. Now shut the fuck up so Connor and I can get you fixed up.”

Connor brought over a first aid box and straddled the bench in front of me. “Get ready,” he said, passing the bandages and a needle to Micah. “It’s going to hurt like a bloody bitch.”

I couldn’t even feel the needle being threaded through my skin. All I wanted was to get to Faith. Reed typed away on his phone and held it in front of my face. There was a blinking blue dot in the parking garage of the hotel.

“There’s Faith. She’s probably getting ready to get in Cartwright’s car.”

“We have to hurry,” I hissed. “There’s no telling what they’ll do to her to get revenge on me.”

Thoughts of them hurting her ran rampant through my head. It made me so goddamn sick I couldn’t see straight. Maybe it was from all the blood I’d lost too. Either way, it didn’t matter. Adrenaline coursed through my veins and I was ready.

Luca rushed into the locker room with a bag full of cash. “We got our money. The Cartwrights hightailed it out of here.”

Micah scoffed. “I almost beat the shit out of Cartwright’s pompous ass nephew.” He smacked me on the shoulder. “Don’t get mad if I happen to put a bullet in his head before you get to him.”

“No,” I snapped. “Cadoc and William are both mine.”

He stitched up the last of my wounds and I put on my clothes, not caring that I had dried blood all over my body. There was about to be more once I got done with the Cartwrights. I looked over at Micah and Luca. “You two stay here and make sure everyone gets out. I don’t want you a part of what’s about to happen next.”

Marco nodded. “Go. We’ll handle everything here.”

Strapping on my holster, I could feel the stitches stretch as I lifted my arm. Once I had my gun loaded and secured, I was ready to go. I turned to Reed who had a concerned expression on his face as he looked at his phone.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, storming over to him. I peered over his shoulder at his phone and there was nothing, but a blank map. No blue dot signaling where Faith was. It was as if everything came crashing down. “Where the fuck is she?” I shouted.

Reed clenched his phone. “I don’t know. Cartwright must have a jamming device in his car. It’s what my brothers and I use to make our phones untraceable.”

And that was where we went wrong. My father used the same devices in his cars to keep people from following him. I should’ve known. How the fuck could I have overlooked that! I’d grown soft on the game at such a young age…it was time for me to get out of all of this. But now I had to find Faith.

I can’t live without her, all of this would be for nothing. Rage coursed through me and I punched the wall, splitting my skin even more. Wherever Cadoc took Faith, we wouldn’t be able to find her until she got out of the car. My body shook so fucking bad I thought I’d explode.

“We’re going to find her,” Reed promised.

All I could see was red. “It might be too late by then.”
