This fucking bitch.
“Where’s Baker?” I snapped, fingers clenching on the bar that would allow you to haul yourself into the vehicle.
“In that car.”
Bile climbed up my throat. “What are you talking about?”
“I left her in there.” She smiled gleefully. “Copper, she took our baby away. I couldn’t allow her to get away with that.”
I’m not sure what came over me, but all of a sudden I couldn’t see straight.
A red mist clouded my vision, and blindly I reached out and yanked Reign out by her hair.
She shrieked at the sudden pain, and when her seat belt caught, holding her in her seat, I let go of the bar and reached for my knife.
It was in my hand and blade at the ready in seconds.
When her seat belt was sliced free, my anger completely took over.
With one brutal yank, she fell free of the armored vehicle.

BAKER
I’d survived.
How I’d survived, I didn’t know.
The car that had once been my pride and joy was now a jumbled mess around my body.
The front seat where I’d originally been sitting was now in line with the back.
The hood was damn near flat against the ground.
The back cargo area was also smashed to smithereens, leaving the only spot in the entire vehicle not completely crushed the back seat area.
There was also no way in hell I was getting out.
The windows, although no longer holding glass, were bent at an angle. The only way I was getting out was if I was the size of a three-year-old.
But what it did do was give me a great view of the action.
That action being Copper as he ran across the broken concrete toward the armored vehicle.
I didn’t even know what the hell it was.
It looked like something out of Mad Max. A huge, tractor, tank looking thing that could withstand a siege.
Copper catapulted himself in the air and caught the ladder on the backside of the vehicle.
In a few powerful tugs, he had his bulky body up onto the ladder and he was yanking open the door. His face appeared vicious, and even with the vehicle so far away, I could read the pure enraged anger on his face.
The armored vehicle turned slightly, causing him to disappear from view.
