Tom, Zach and Noah.
Bear and his brother's had been different all their
lives and was used to people being cynical, wary and
frightened of the unique abilities. He expected to see the
same emotions in the eyes of the men in front of him; but
was quite surprised when he only saw relief.
 Let's get moving then, Tom said as he stood.  We
have to get to her before he kills her.
 Did you see anyone else with him Bear? Noah
asked.
 No, but that doesn't mean there isn't. I could only
see through her eyes for a while and then the bastard
knocked her out.
Tom's roar of pain and frustration surprised the men
in the kitchen with him. He was one of the most controlled
people they knew. He usually handled situations with a
coldness that scared the shit out of his comrades. To see
him loose control was something none of them had ever
seen before.
 That fucker is mine.

 Tom get a hold of yourself. You can't go in there
planning to kill him unless it's in self defense. You are
going to be no good to your woman if you end up in jail,
Colt grabbed Tom's arm.

Beth came awake with a groan. Her body was
aching all over. Her face felt as if it was swollen beyond
recognition and her feet and hands were numb from lack of
blood flow. Light was receding from the sky as the sun
began to sink in the west. She was so scared and alone.
Tom, Noah and Zach would never be able to find her and
she knew it was just a matter of time before her life would
cease to exist.
She heard a noise beyond the bedroom door and
closed her eyes, praying the bastard wouldn't realize she
was awake. Hoping to stretch out the hours left for her to
live. She heard the door open as he stood in the doorway
and then gave a sigh of relief as it closed once more.
She heard another voice on the other side of the
door and realized he was no longer alone. Oh god there
were two of them. How was she going to escape? Her arms
were drawn tightly above her head, secured to the metal
frame of the headboard. She couldn't even reach the ropes
with her teeth, because if she tried she would be hurting her
ankles. But she had to try anyway, it didn't matter if she
pulled her foot off by stretching out, she was going to die
anyway if she didn't do something.

She pulled and stretched until she felt the ropes
around her ankles and legs rub her skin raw. She could feel
blood trickling down over her skin as she strained the
muscles in her arms, pulling herself up so she could reach
the ropes with her teeth. She was so tired, her head was
throbbing so badly she felt nauseous and the muscles in her
arms were burning with pain. She gave a sob as she
collapsed back and relaxed onto the bed. She just wasn't
strong enough, she couldn't pull herself up so she could
reach the knots on the rope with her teeth.
No damn it. She was not giving up. She would let
herself rest up a bit and then she would try again and again
until she could move no more.

The six men jumped into the helicopter and held on
as Tony lifted it off the ground. He spoke into the headset
attached.
 I'm going to stealth mode, I don't want any of you
speaking just in case he has a scanner on him. Switching
over now, Tony said.
That was the last word any of them spoke for the
next fifteen minutes. Tony put the chopper down about a
mile away from the cabin, Bear had pointed out on a map
before they left. He shut down the engine and the six men
took their headsets from their heads.

 Tom, Zach, Noah, I want you guys to follow us in.
We're going in first because you three are too emotionally
attached. We don't know this woman and we won't hesitate
to do anything you may in case you put Beth in jeopardy.
Colt stated with a voice of steel.
Zach, Tom and Noah looked at each other then back
at Colt giving a nod of affirmation. They moved out,
weapons at the ready as they moved silently towards the
area the cabin was in.
Colt signaled a halt with a hand as the came to the
edge of the trees. He ordered his brothers to move around
the cabin using the trees as cover. When they were in
position they let Colt know and he ordered Zach and Noah
to cover him as he crept up towards the front of the [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
