I don't need to raise my voice.

The team moves.

So do I.

The next several minutes reduce to sound and movement.

Doors.

Concrete.

Commands.

Someone running.

A body hitting a wall somewhere ahead.

One of my men signals left.

Another takes the corridor.

I stay behind the lead pair because I'm not stupid enough to destroy her rescue trying to prove something.

But every second feels like an hour.

Then I see the room.

Metal chair.

Blood on the floor.

Empty restraints.

My heart stops.

“No.”

One of the team members checks the corridor.

“Secondary room.”

I see the smear on the wall.

Blood.

Her blood.

Something inside me goes feral.

I don't remember crossing the next distance.

A man comes through a doorway.

Weapon.

My team takes him down before I reach him.

Another shout.
