Urie groans and turns onto his back, wincing. His eyes slowly open and then widen when he sees us looking down at him. “Am I dead?”
“Sure!” Sasha nods. “This is hell. Now get the fuck up. You’re tougher than this. If not, then I’ll kill you myself for getting my daughter pregnant before you’re married.”
“Oh!” Urie’s eyes widen with fear, and he stays on the hay-strewn cement floor. “Then I think I’ll just lie here and let the wolves come eat me.”
“Get up, Urie,” I tell him. “There’s no time to clown around. Olga’s here with us.”
“What?” Urie shoots up, sways, and reaches out to Sasha, who steps back.
“Don’t fall on me,” Sasha growls.
Urie glares at Sasha and then at me. “You brought my fucking wife with you?”
“Wife?” Sasha’s brows furrow, and I see Urie realize his mistake.
“Enough!” I bark. “We need to get you four medical attention.” My eyes land on Urie’s sister and one of my oldest friends, Hannah. “Your sister especially.”
“Let me take her, Dad.” Konstantin bends down and gently lifts Hannah.
“We need a car to get Marco and Hannah to the hospital.”
“On it.” Sasha spins and rushes off.
I help Marco up, and as we walk out of the cellar, Konstantin looks at me suspiciously. “Who’s side are you on here, Belov?”
“Well, I haven’t murdered your father yet.” I point out, holding Marco up.
“Why would you want to murder my father?”
“Because he thinks I beat up Ivan,” Marco answers and looks at me. “I didn’t.” His eyes darken with anger. “But believe me, if I had, I would have been justified.”
“Where is my sister?” Konstantin looks around.
Shit! How do I answer that without the iceman going berserk? “She’s been taken.”
“What?” Konstantin barks and Marco’s face falls, going more ashen than it already is.
“Lev?” Marco’s eyes fill with fear.
“Temur thinks so,” I tell him.
“Temur?” Konstantin’s eyes flash dangerously. “Was he with her?”
“He got ambushed and trapped by your best friend!”
“Your brother you mean!” Konstantin reminds me. “Don’t you blame that fucker’s behavior on me! When I find him, and I will, he’s going to die at the very hands that saved him from…”
“Me!” Urie pipes up.
“You?” My brow furrows, but I’m distracted as an engine roars in the distance and an SUV skids around the front of the house, stopping near us.
“Get in,” Sasha says from behind the wheel. “The hospital is not far.”
Marco, Urie, and Konstantin squash into the back with Hannah cradled over their laps.
I climb into the front passenger seat. “What? Couldn’t find a sleigh?”
“Didn’t have time to chase reindeer.” Sasha spins the car around and races toward the hospital.
