“I’ll call the cops,” Mason says

I nod, pulling ator If Jordan had left the country, I can’t i me of it

The PI doesn’t answer, and I don’t think I can wait Neither can the guys Besides, I a to the hands of a hired guy If I love her, I need to take her life, and safety, into my own hands

“We gotta get to the private airport Now,” Noah says, fists clenched “If Jordan got her, which I’et off this island crazy fast”

We nod in agreerab the keys and we ju about the speed limit

There is no limit when it comes to how fast we need to find her

“Turn right,” Enzo directs I nod, usingthe exit Thank God this island isn’t too large, and we knohere the private airport is, having arrived here that way ourselves

In the distance, I see an airplane taking off the ground

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Noah yells, slaas, feeling rage surging through me with the fear that Jordan may have already taken her way

I keep driving, needing to confir with him in that jet , her face covered in tears, she was so lost and alone But that all changed e opened our arms and invited her to stay

Chloe doesn’t deserve to go backward Her life has been hard enough already

I pull into the airport parking lot and see a traffic controlthe car, the four of us run toward the airstrips There are a handful planes sitting here, all privately owned jets

And all I can hope for right now is that Chloe isn’t on the one that just took off

“I’uy named Jordan, do you know him?” Mason asks the first employee he sees

The guy raises his hand, clearly not knowing “I don’t know, man, but I can call to find out?” He looks at us questionably

I knoeoutta bed Maybe he thinks we’re here to make trouble

If that’s what he’s thinking, he would be daht

“I can’t wait for that,” Enzo says, running off toward a plane He has the right idea

Mason, Noah, and I peel off toward different planes ourselves

I run as fast as I can I may not be a marathoner, but I a headlong into the unknown Diving into bodies of water that es that will slice me, destroyfro what’s beneath the surface

But that’s just a great ht of myself as fearless

And that is because I have had nothing to lose I had the guys, sure But no family—no one who counted on me for shit
