"Looks like it."

"Good girl."

My jaw locks; yeah, that's my girl.

Rogue connects his headphones and starts listening from the beginning while keeping one eye on his laptop. I turn back to Jinx.

"Tell me exactly what happened."

"I was coming up to relieve you."

My eyes narrow. "You?"

"Yeah."

"Savage was coming."

Jinx frowns. "What?"

"Savage was supposed to be here."

"I got a message from Savage telling me to take over."

Everything inside me goes still. "What message?"

Jinx reaches for his pocket before stopping. "Phone's gone."

"Who took it?"

"Same fuckers who jumped me."

Rogue pulls one side of the headphones away from his ear. "When did you get the message?"

"Maybe twenty minutes ago."

"From Savage's number?"

"Yeah."

Rogue's expression changes. "Fuck."

The sound of bikes reaches the street. I turn and see Ghost coming around the corner first, and Savage is behind him.

The second I see Savage, I know; he looks fucking furious. They pull in beside the curb, and Ghost is off his bike almost immediately. His gaze goes from me, to Jinx, to the fire escape. "Where is she?"

"Gone."

His jaw tightens. "How?"

"They used Jinx to get her down."

Ghost looks at Jinx. He pushes himself straighter against the wall. "They had a gun to my head."

"How the fuck did you end up here?" Savage demands.

Jinx looks at him. "You sent me."

Savage goes completely still. "The fuck I did."
