Pants? Check. Shirt? Check. Hair pulled back? Check. Underwear? Check.
My hands ran over my body to make sure I was fully dressed. “What are you doing?” Alec scared the crap out of me when he walked into the bedroom. My back was turned and I was silently panicking.
“Making sure I had everything.” He didn’t need to know I had a mild freakout that I forgot my bra.
“Yeah, okay. Ready to go?”
“Yeeesss.” Giving my room one last look, I nodded at Alec.
Alec held out his arm for me to slip under it. “Don’t forget to collect yourself and do what needs to be done.” Alec stopped me and looked around for Colt before getting eye level with me. “If you need to shut off your feelings in order to get our daughter back and not die, do it. I mean it, I can’t have you dying on me. If it comes to it, you need to make decisions with your head and not your heart. Kill Ann and then get out. Colt will handle Anthony. Get Adalynn from me and I’ll go back to help Colt. Kill Ann and make it to our meeting place. Do you understand?”
Alec didn’t know of my conversation with Penny and honestly, I wasn’t going to leave my brother if he was losing. That was a promise I couldn’t give but this was exactly the situation that Alec wanted me to avoid. Get myself to safety and he would handle it. There was a sinking feeling that I was going to find myself in that situation and the only question is what my choice will be.
“I understand.” It wasn’t a promise and I did understand what he wanted me to do.
Alec searched my eyes for a moment longer before satisfied with my answer. “You guys ready? We need to leave.” Colt walked up behind Alec.
“We are. Is the car here?” I asked, stepping around Alec. I felt bad for not fully telling me what my plans could be but he would stop me and that couldn’t happen. It almost felt like I was keeping it from him.
“It is.” Colt nodded and walked in front of me out of the house. Cool salt water air hit me in the face for the first time since we came down here. Even in Florida, it was still chilly.
Alec and Colt got in the front and I slipped in the back. “Remember, when we get there, you are to take the front and I’ll take the back.” Colt said as he pulled out.
“Maximum shock factor.” That was my idea. I wanted to kick in the front door and show them I was alive and ready to kill them. We didn’t want to lure them out in case they did something to Adalynn.
“Radio silent.” Colt muttered as they slipped out of the car, quietly. Their entire demeanors changed before they even shut the doors. However, my body froze. Alec’s words echoed in my mind and I knew what I needed to do. Closing my eyes, I pushed everything a deep inside as I possible could. I couldn’t trust my heart to not make mistakes when my head is arguing. For Adalynn’s safety, I needed to do this and do it correctly.
My door opened as my eyes opened, however, Sierra had forced her way forward. She was going to make sure we got our daughter back. The glow of my eyes illuminated Colt’s confusion before acceptance.
Finally, he stepped back and allowed me to get out. The sun was officially retired for the night, making it perfect for us. Less people will be around to witness what is about to happen.
Slowly, we made our way. My adrenalin pumped through my veins, making me aware just how close to Adalynn I was getting. Even though I made excellent progress on my emotions and I currently had them pushed down, anger managed to work it’s way up. Filling every inch of my body until I started vibrating in it.
There it was. The house that my parents came to. The house Adalynn is being held. Blue faded paint was chipping around the edges. The shrubs needed a good trim but it looked like the roof was fairly knew. A shadow passed over the closed window, making my eyes dart to it. Anthony. They were home and ready to get the surprise of their life.
“This is it.” I said Alec in the mind-link. “Let’s get our daughter back.”
