Chapter 9

"Yes, ma'am!" The two guys holding Dane snapped to it without missing a beat.

No second-guessing-they each smáshed a fist into one of Dane's legs.

"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking bounced off the walls in the quiet blood- drawing room.

"Crack!" Another loud snap hit right after, cutting through the air.

The double whack of busted legs rang out like a firecracker in the dead silence.

"Guh!" The sharp pain jolted Dane awake, his eyes flying open.

Jax's fist balled up tight, veins bulging.

"You devil!" he yelled, pissed beyond belief.

He'd figured Raven would back down once she heard about Dane's dad's rank.

He'd even imagined her playing it safe, maybe throwing out a half-hearted "sorry."

But nope-she didn't even flinch before telling them to trash his legs.

"Help... help me..." Madeline mumbled from the wall.

She was barely there, her voice fading into a weak whisper.

Then, with that last plea, her hand flopped down

The stunner who'd had Dane hooked was gone, just like that.

"All right, Zack needs some rest. We're wrapping up for today," Raven said, cool and collected as always.

"Oh, and one more thing-1 might let it go for now, but what you did to my brother? That's not done," she added.

"You've got three days. I want answers from the Grayson family, or I'll drop by myself for a little talk," she said, her voice turning frosty.

"See them out!" Raven waved a hand.

As she said it, the two guys next to Dane hoisted him up, dragging him out, his face dripping with sweat from the pain.

Ryan shot a look at Jax-whose glare could've sliced Raven in half-paused, then carefully nudged him toward the door.

At the doorway, Jax's ice-cold eyes locked onto Raven.

"You want answers? Fine. Tomorrow, five p.m., base of Cloudridge. I'll give you your answers-and a little 'surprise' on the side."

Raven raised an eyebrow. "Nice. But let's get one thing straight-if your surprise sucks, I don't care if the Grayson family's got a brigadier general, or even a straight-up GENERAL. You'll find out what happens when you mess with my brother."

Jax's glare turned murderous, like he was already seeing her six feet under.

Tomorrow, he'd show this cocky girl what a military brigadier general was really about.

"Boss, what about these doctors and nurses?" Brynjar asked, keeping his tone low and respectful.
