Four or Dead

Chapter 72 Asher

"What the hell happened back there?" I yell slamming my hand on my dad's desk

"Someone got her out," Logan says again but I still can't accept that we lost Emma again and to one of Zane's men

"We took out most of Zane's guys at the cabin so we don't know who it was that took her," Leo adds

"And Zane isn't talking." My dad says. I'

"So what do we do? We have Zane and his men are probably on the warpath to find him. They have no orders to follow now. They will either come for Zane or leave a mess around the city. We need to do something." Leo says messaging his temples no doubt imagining the chaos that would involve

He isn't wrong. These men are trained and have the means to take down the entire city if we don't step in and fight them off. Sure we weren't hero's or anything like that but this is our city, and we plan on keeping it that way. Zane had worked his way in like a snake in the grass and came for us when we least expected it, but now....*

We've taken away the catalyst holding his men in line. That's a whole lot of trouble we can't leave unchecked

Chapter 72

"We need to focus on rounding up the rest of Zane's men before they start making a mess. No doubt they will want to keep business running and I'm sure they will do it with less finesse than Zane has. He had a reputation to keep but they don't. As far as the world is concerned Zane has no connection to them at all." My dad points out

"What about Emma?" Logan asks softly

He's taking this harder than the rest of us. He had been the first on the roof and although there is no way he could have gotten to Emma in time he blames himself

My dad sighs. "I hate that Emma is out of reach again and we have no idea what's happening to her but as of now we have nothing to go on

Until someone tells us who took her we have to focus on what's more important."

Jayden growls. Like actually growls. "Emma is what's important to us! I couldn't give a damn about any of this! I want her back."

We all watched him warily. He's been working through his anger by using his fists to get information but we're starting to reach dangerous territory now. There has only ever been one time when we were sure we would lose Jayden to his darkness for good. I can't even think about that time without shuttering. He looked almost possessed

It was the anniversary of his family's death and some reporter had decided to pick that case of all things to write about. Jayden left the night he saw it and was gone for three days. When he came back he was
