They came upon a set of glass doors. Mac paused, hoisting his fist in the air.
“We’re going through the building,” Mac rumbled. “It’s abandoned but dark.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Declan cursed. Pure darkness could mean anything.
“It’s either take our chances in here or get shot out there. There’s no telling how many are on the rooftops.” Mac glared at him.
Declan didn’t hesitate to return the heated stare.
Brodie stalked past to the edge of the building and peered around it. “The alley isn’t better. We’d be sitting ducks.”
“I don’t like this,” Declan said. It was one thing for them to enter a building on jobs, but now they had an innocent civilian with them. “Stay here, Aspen.” He pressed her against the brick wall and undid her firm grip on his pants.
He moved near the door and glanced through the glass. It was dark, but he was able to see the doors on the other side. Lights from the neighboring street filtered through the door.
That would be their target destination.
Five hundred feet of the unknown.
He glared back at Mac who was waiting on him.
“Through the building or around it?” Mac cocked an eyebrow.
“My vote is through the building,” Brodie said, coming to stand beside Mac.
The exchange of gunfire sounded behind them.
Cursing floated from where Iker and Myles were.
Declan turned back to the front and aimed his gun at the edge of the glass and fired. The crackle of glass shattering echoed through the tense air. Grabbing Aspen’s hand, he pulled her next to him.
“Stay behind me,” he ordered. He wasn’t taking any chances. If any were hidden in the building, he’d rather take a bullet than her. Now they knew Ray was out of prison, he was a man who truly had nothing to lose. “Don’t look anywhere else but straight. We are going to make a run for it through this.”
You are worth a lot of money to Ray Acosta—dead.
A rage unlike any he’d ever felt crept into his chest at the thought that someone Aspen had trusted had betrayed her.
He would not lose Aspen.
Not now.
Not when he’d finally found the one who made his heart beat, who filled his every waking thought.
Iker and Myles arrived at his side.
Mac turned to them all, his face stone.
“Let’s move.”
Chapter 19
Aspen’s body trembled with fear. She’d be damned if she acted like a scared female. She put her complete faith in Declan and his men. There was no other way she’d survive if she didn’t. They entered the building silently. Declan placed a finger to his lips to signify for her to remain quiet.
You don’t have to tell me twice.
Even if she wanted to say something, she was gripped by fear that her throat wouldn’t allow any sound to pass.
How does he do this every day?
