The instant Jax's dropped phone started ringing, he and Dane both froze, holding their breath.
A split second later, they whipped their heads toward Raven, eyes wide with pure shock and fear.
Raven gave a small smile and flicked her hand in a laid-back "go ahead" motion.
That little gesture dialed the tension in their chests up to max.
Jax hesitated for two shaky breaths before bending down, grabbing the phone, and hitting accept.
"Yeah?" he mumbled, keeping his voice low.

"Sir, we're done! A dozen guys just hit Cloudshade Crew HQ-bodies are dropping fast, and the crew's about to break!" The voice on the line came quick and panicked.
The words slammed into Jax, and he staggered back a step, thrown off.
But maybe because he'd steeled himself before answering, he pulled it together fast.
“Just a dozen?” he asked, leveling his tone.
"Yeah! All Warriors, every single one-we can't keep up!" the guy fired back, sounding desperate.
"How long can you hold?" Jax pushed, his voice turning grim.
The answer came shaky and rough.
"We can't-can't hold... ahh!" he yelled.
A scream ripped through before he could finish.
"Thud!" The sound of a body hitting the ground came next.
The call didn't cut off, though.
A moment later, a clean, sharp voice-cool and almost cheerful-slid into Jax's ear.
"Tell Raven Valor for me-mission complete. Cloudshade Crew's finished!" the guy said viciously.
Then he hung up, leaving a sharp beeping sound behind.
That hit Jax like a brick to the head.
Jax's mind went blank in an instant.
It was over. For real this time.
Everything he'd sunk half his life into-gone in minutes!
With Cloudshade Crew wiped out, the Grayson family's biggest edge in Bastion was ash.
The high-and-mighty Grayson family might collapse in no time. Dane stared off, dazed.
While Jax stood there on the brink of losing it, Dane looked like he'd checked out too.
He'd been close enough to hear every word from the call.
