Page 55 of When to Call a Blitz

“RAVEN!”

“She’s alive. Now, you will meet me in the cellars under the eastern wing of the manor.”

“You keep your damned hands off her.”

“You’re in no position to bargain son.”

The line goes dead, and I want to chuck my phone across the room into the wall.

There is no way this fucker is making it out of here alive. I've wanted to kill him over my mother, but now, he has taken what is mine. I will end him for her.

I call Ace.

"He's here. I don't know how long he has been on the grounds."

"Fuck, Knox."

"He has Raven."

"What? Where are you? I'm heading that way."

"No. I’m supposed to meet him in the cellars under the eastern wing. Alone. You get Lazz. We’ll need his help."

"On it."

"Ace, if I don't make it out, you kill him. Save Raven."

"I will, brother. Stay safe."

I hang up the phone and clench my fist. I know the things my father is capable of. He’s a dangerous man. He’s unpredictable.

He has my girl.

I will kill my father, for my mother, for myself, and now for Raven.

I will destroy him.
