He’d left me here.
Cruz
“Did Stone say he was going anywhere?” one of the guys asked as he pointed to one of the computer screens. Stone stalked into the garage and climbed into a car on the security footage, tearing off like his ass was on fire.
He looked pissed, and worry rolled through me when I couldn’t see Penn anywhere.
The footage wasn’t live and the time stamp said he’d left half an hour ago. I faced the screen in front of me and opened multiple windows of footage, Drake leaning over my shoulder to look too.
We’d been watching one of the houses in Crestford but I forgot all about that at the thought of Stone doing something to Penn.
“Check the yard,” Drake murmured, pointing at one of the screens where Stone had come from. I clicked through videos, the trail leading me to the target room. I watched Stone walk out and turn off the light, slamming the door behind him. “Didn’t he take Penn to shoot?”
“I thought that’s what they were doing but maybe not.” I clicked on the files that took me to the footage of the target room, the night vision clear as day.
Penn’s terrified screams reached my ears as the video loaded, and both Drake and I were out of the room and running outside within seconds.
That asshole had actually locked her in there in the dark.
I reached the door before Drake, yanking the latch off and swinging the door open to find Penn’s fingers bleeding and her voice raspy from screaming. I dropped to my knees in front of her and hauled her against me, her arms going tight around me as she sobbed into my shirt.
“You’re okay, baby.” She cried harder, and I gave Drake a look, silently asking him to look her over for other injuries. He nodded, assessing her discreetly while I soothed her.
We let a lot slide with Stone because he was in charge, but I was going to kick the crap out of him for this. “Penn? Let me get you inside.”
“C’mon, babe,” Drake murmured, helping me get her to her feet when she didn’t move.
She clung to him so I let him comfort her as we made our way back into the compound, and once I knew she was settled, I left Drake with her and headed for the garage.
“Keys,” I bit out as I stalked towards Jai, making him frown.
“Need back-up?”
“You don’t want to be there, trust me,” I grunted as he tossed the keys towards me.
He watched me leave, and I sped towards the road, anger guiding me towards Ashburn Valley where his location pinged.
Stone wasn’t hard to find and I felt bad for taking a personal issue into the Psychos shed, but I was furious. I braked hard out front, the tires skidding in the gravel, and I slammed the door on my way in.
Stepping inside, I found Stone sitting at the bar talking to Beckett and Maddox Donovan, and he had a two second warning before I threw a punch at him.
He stumbled, almost falling off the stool before getting to his feet to face me.
“What the fuck, Cruz?”
“You locked her in the fucking dark? You really are a fucking asshole!” I snapped, taking another swing at him. “What the fuck did she do to you, huh? I told you to leave her the fuck alone!”
“If you’d taken the cunt home this wouldn’t have happened!” he argued, throwing a punch that connected with my cheek. It burned but I ignored it. “That princess pussy’s really gotten to you, hasn’t it? Why do you even want her so badly? She’s fucking everyone else, you’re not special to her.”
Beckett’s eyes were amused and she didn’t break us up. I wasn’t surprised, that girl loved a bloodied fight and she was one of the Psychos best cage fighters.
Maddox, on the other hand, eyed us warily as if trying to figure out whether or not he should intervene.
“She’s my girl so have some fucking respect,” I said in a low voice, making him laugh as he wiped blood from his lip.
“Sounds like she’s Drake’s and Knox’s too since you all can’t seem to keep your dicks out of her. Always knew you’d fall for a whore, but I never thought you’d turn on me over one.”
“Call her a whore again and I’m going to fucking kill you, Stone. I fucking mean it.”
