Four or Dead

Chapter 85

Emma

"Tony...I'm so sorry." My voice is shaking as I finally let myself feel the loss

My heart aches as I kneel next to him and when I let the sob that I have been holding in I collapse on top of his still form and hold him. 7

What a shit show. There is a mess all around us, and the heavy silence only makes it hit harder. Zane's men came in like a force out of hell with men clearly trained to be as lethal as possible. We were outnumbered and surrounded when Emma's backup crew arrived literally saving our asses. Zane's men weren't expecting them and that was the moment things turned around. Unfortunately, a few of the Russians got away before we could stop them, but it doesn't matter right

"Leo? You good brother?" Logan asks when he finally answers my call

He's breathing hard just like me. "Yeah, I'm good. Have you heard from the others?"

He chuckles. "Our boy Wyatt came riding in on his white horse and saved my ass. I haven't heard from the others though."

"Okay, I'll call Asher. Have you spoken to Emma?" I ask

"No have you?" He asks and I hear the worry in his voice

"TI call her. You check on the others." I hang up before he can answer and immediately call Emma

The call goes straight to voicemail and my worry starts growing into panic. I call Logan back hoping maybe the others have spoken to her

"Everyone else is accounted for but...." Logan trails off

Jayden stands and turns the laptop to Devaro and with red-streaked hands Devaro types something into the system and the alarms blaring inside go silent. Logan pulls the front door open and rushes inside

As soon as we reach the floor where Devaro's office is we move quickly. Logan reaches the office door only to find it locked. He doesn't wait. He pulls out his gun and shoots
