Does she even know I’m fucking alive? This is bullshit. I can’t just fucking sit here. I swing open the door as Anderson goes to open it.
His eyes widen as he takes mein. “Come with me.”
I follow him through a maze of corridors until he comes to a stop.
“There are clothes inside for you.”
I look down at my gown, my bare ass on display. I slip into the room, shoving off my sweatpants, t-shirt, and trainers before meeting him back outside.
We carry on a few more minutes before we get in the elevator. Instead of going up, like I expect, we go down. He doesn’t say anything until the doors open.
Noise is the first thing I register, then it’s the people. There are at least twenty people here. There are big screens which look like a map with a red dot and a yellow one.
People clicking away at keyboards and people talking on headsets. Then, there are a couple of TV screens playing some sort of live feed. It takes a second to register who and what it is.
I race over to the screen. “Juliet.”
As if hearing me, she looks straight at the camera.
“Does she know we’re here?”
Anderson shakes his head. “No, only our guy. He won’t give her that sort of information. He won’t do anything to jeopardize the case. This has been four years coming.”
I turn back to the screen to see Juliet.
Her back straightens. The back of a man comes into view and a glimpse of pain covers her face before she lunges at him.
Inferno grabs her arm, twisting it. She closes her eyes before he chucks her against the wall, grappling his fingers around her neck.
“I’m going to fucking kill him.”
Anderson points to the screen. “He’s not hurting her. Look.”
I look back at the screen.
“She’s not struggling. Her breathing is fine, her eyes are not wide. She’s not scared, she’s pissed.”
Inferno turns around, saying something over his shoulder that has the men leaving quickly.
I expect him to drop the act.
Instead, he leans into her. His tongue comes out, licking her neck and a slow growl escapes, but a smirk comes over my face as Lettie lifts her knee. Inferno falls to the floor, biting his lips as he rolls around on the floor.
I grin at Anderson and point at the screen. “That’s my baby girl.”
Looking amused. He nods, handing me a phone. “Tomorrow, he’s going to leave his phone out for her to grab. All calls from the phone will connect to here. We will tell her that she needs to message us.”
I nod, placing the phone in my pocket.
“Stone, you can’t let her know you’re alive.”
I nod my head. “Ok. But I’m in. When you go to get her, I’m coming.”
Anderson studies me, but nods. “Inferno will look after her, Stone. It’s personal to him too.”
I stare into his eyes.
“There’s no other option.”
