The other man swiveled and ran, firing at the remaining guards to clear a path. They had to get outside.

Cain and Wolf hobbled along, and he heard Wolf groan, but didn’t slow down.

“Boone,” Cain said. “Get out now.”

“I’m out,” the other man replied.

Ahead, Hades slipped out the door.

Almost there.

Cain glanced back and saw flames were licking at the fuel tanks.

Shit.

They weren’t going to make it to the door. But they were near one of the large windows. Cain swiveled and fired on the glass.

The pane shattered.

“That way.” He shoved Wolf toward the window.

The man didn’t even pause. He leaped out the broken window.

Cain gripped the frame and moved to follow, readying himself to jump.

Boom.

The fuel tanks exploded just as Cain leaped.

More windows shattered, and a fireball engulfed him.

God, please let Wolf be okay.

Jet hated when the guys got injured. She chewed on the end of her nail and listened to the gunfire. On the screen, she watched the heat signature at the boathouse growing larger.

“Come on, Cain. Get out.” It was chaos on the screen, the large heat signature was making it near impossible to tell what was happening.

“I’m out.” It was Wolf’s voice, tight with pain.

Where was Cain? They’d been together. She heard shattering glass then a loud boom.

Jet jolted. She felt the explosion’s vibration in the air, even from her location.

Her heart lodged in her throat.

“Fuck, Hex, do you have Shade on screen?” Wolf asked.

“I can’t see anything. One side of the boathouse is alight and it’s blocking everything.”

“Damn. He was behind me, then I saw the fireball…”

When Wolf’s voice trailed off, her insides flushed hot, then cold.

No.No. She couldn’t lose him. “Did he get out? Did you see him get out?”

“No.” There was a pause. “I saw the fireball engulf him.”
