“I could guess…” Hahed and pressed the button to connect the call to Beck “Shewith her emotions”

Hahed

It took everything Liam had not to pick up Hammer’s phone and smash it on the dash If he didn’t need answers so badly, hemuch if he insulted the wanker

Hammer slapped an arm across his chest “Shut the fuck up and let me talk”

There was little love lost between he and Beck, and Ha hard, Liam sed down his impatience “Get some answers”

“Where is she, Beck?” Hammer demanded “Where did you take her after you left the hospital? And don’t give me the bullshit that you don’t know”
