"Tell me where to find Brumley," she said coldly
"He’ll be in Jakarta," he choked out "Three weeks You won’t find him until then I don’t even knohere he plans to be But there’s a big deal going down there One of his contacts has proirls If his contact is telling the truth, this willup buyers based on inforirls Guy’s na shot in Jakarta Local business for the first tiins and Bru to auction theh-security, extremely private venue on the island he owns"
PJ’s lips curled into a snarl and a sound of rage burned deep in her chest and bubbled outward, vibrating her throat Red clouded her vision She raised the knife, prepared to end it now
"Hands up!"
She froze, fear scuttling through her stomach She turned her head to see two armed men at the corner of the house They carried assault rifles and they were both pointed at her
One man jerked the barrel of the rifle in an upward motion to indicate she was to raise her hands
Fuck She’d acted like a goddaun instead of keeping it out because she’d assumed that the house had been vacated and that all of Brumley’s men had escaped with him As Steele always said, people who assume are usually the ones who end up dead
She’d forgotten her training, so eager had she been to exact justice And now she was going to pay dearly for that uns never lowering PJ kept her hands in the air, the knife still gripped in one of them
She could probably take one of theh, but she’d have to rely on the other guy either being distracted or un
As if reading her thoughts, the two spread out, circling in a wide berth around her Then one et down on her knees
Her mind buzzed with possibilities She had to think of a way out of this
She started doard, taking her ti as if she were close to dying She groaned and grunted before settling to her knees The entire way down, she slowly lowered her e the knife
Just a little un!" Nelson cried out
PJ cringed and waited for the bullet to hit her
To her utter shock, one of the id A hole bloomed on his forehead and blood strearound like a deflated balloon
She went for her gun and rolled, just as the othereverywhere
A hand grabbed her ankle and jerked She tried to kick with her injured leg and couldn’t hold back the screa herself at Nelson He was desperate to save his ass and she was just as determined to kill him
She didn’t have time to wonder what the hell had just happened to the other two If she didn’t take Nelson out, he would take her out
She doubled her fist and punched him in the jaw When he reeled back, she jurasped her wrist and squeezed, but she refused to let go of her weapon She punched hirasp didn’t loosen
Son of a bitch She wasn’t going down to this bastard and she wasn’t going to let hi hiot the worse end of the deal More blood spurted fro his moment of distraction, she drew up her knee and then ra her off him as he curled into a ball, one hand on his nose and the other cupping his dick
"You’re a worthless piece of shit!" she raged at him
She kicked hi that soh overhead, and she struck quickly, slashing a line down his chest
As much as she wanted to s, she knew she didn’t have the time and this had already been a cluster fuck from the very start
She leaned down close, so he would hear every word
"This is for every girl you ever tormented, tortured and raped This is for all those babies you sold into slavery And this is forin order to rape I’m not so helpless this tie of his death was in his eyes and she savored it a led out and then she heard the hissing sound as air escaped frolassy and his head lolled to the side
She closed the knife, stuffed it into her pocket and started to drag herself upward She hoped to hell one of these damn cars could be hot-wired or she was fucked for transportation No way could she get back to where she’d parked her vehicle nearly two , but she swayed like a sapling in the wind And then she heard her na louder with every second
She turned in bewilderment and then sank to her knees when she saw her entire team burst onto the scene Cole was in front, his features carved in stone He was focused on her His gaze never left her as he ran toward her
"You were the one who took them out," she said when he dropped on his knees in front of her
"Dolphin got one," he said "He’s not a bad shot Not as good as you, but he’ll do in a pinch"
She couldn’t wrap her mind around the fact that her teaht when she needed them most She would be dead if they hadn’t arrived when they had But ere they here? How?
The question bubbled out "What are you doing here?"
Suddenly she was shaking so bad that her teeth were clinking together with enough force to chip them
