We were boxed in. Cars surrounded us, leaving no escape route. Trying to break free would be reckless- we'd never make it.

Steve was right. Hayden had been pulled away, leaving me vulnerable. And without Hayden's skills, Steve was at a serious disadvantage. Bruno's real target? Me.

As the men climbed out of their cars, surrounding us, I turned to Steve. "In a minute, I'll go with them. Don't do anything stupid-just call Hayden." "No way!" Steve shot back, his protective instincts kicking in.

"Listen," I insisted, "Jace is already in Bruno's hands, and Hayden's gone after him. If you get taken too, Bruno will have all of us, and no one to save us."

He hesitated, but I gave him a calm, reassuring smile. "We talked about this earlier. If Wayne's behind this I won't be harmed. So don't worry about me." "But what if it's not him?" Steve didn't seem convinced.

"If it's not him, then we're good. You can reach out to him for help."

I could see the shift in his eyes.

Before Steve could respond, the car door flew open, and two of Bruno's men reached for me. I didn't wait for them to pull me out. "I'll go
