He tried to calm his racing pulse as he reached the ground floor and turned toward the exit. And that’s when he saw it. The scene of Marissa fighting off three masked men and finally falling down in a heap, sent a blast of ragecoursing through his veins.Son of a bitch, did that bastard stab her?
Bursting through the sliding doors, gun at the ready, he fired two shots at the startled assailant, hitting him right between the eyes. Viktor never missed. Seeing their comrade’s head blown off, the remaining hostiles beat back a hasty retreat.
Viktor didn’t bother chasing after them as he dropped to his knees beside Marissa, who was slowly coming around.
The sound of gunfire had drawn a circle of people around them. The sight of a body, sprawled on the ground with a dark pool forming from the head, elicited more than a few gasps and shrieks. But Viktor focused on Marissa.
“Iz? Can you hear me?”
One hand checked her body methodically for any signs of blood and injuries while the other whipped out his phone to warn Jack and Maia.
“Jack, Marissa’s been attacked,” Viktor said.
“Is she all right?” Jack exclaimed.
Not answering his question, because he didn’t know himself, Viktor said, “You and Taylor keep an eye out. I’ve got a dead body to process.”
He called Lance Henderson next, all the while keeping a wary eye on the crowd of onlookers.
“Are you at New Park Medical?” Viktor asked abruptly.
“Yes. What’s up?”
“Good, I want you to process a dead body for me . . . West entrance.”
His gaze returned to Marissa when a low moan escaped her lips.
“You can stop feeling me up,” Marissa said as he ended the call. “They stun gunned me. No biggie.”
He helped her sit up. She winced when she saw the expression on his face. “Seriously, Viktor, I’m fine.”
“It was stupid to leave the hospital,” he snapped. “Youwere a target, damn it. If I hadn’t come after you—”
“But you did,” Marissa reached out and touched his face. “I’m still here, Viktor.”
He shut his mouth, but he had an overwhelming desire to throttle her. He was starting to unravel and he didn’t like it one bit. He rose wordlessly and helped her to her feet.
Dr. Henderson showed up with two orderlies who were cleared to work with AGS.
“You got this, Henderson?”
The doctor nodded.
“Aren’t you guys supposed to wait for the cops?” A hospital staffer pushed through the gathering crowd.
Viktor cursed and stalked over to the man who had the gall to interfere.
“Mind your own fucking business,” Viktor snarled at the staffer who cowered back when he came at him.
“Viktor!”
His gaze shifted back to Marissa.
“You fine?” he asked coldly.
Marissa nodded, frowning.
“Good.”
