PIPER
We need to get out of here.
It's the only thing I could think of as Timofey lifted Kreshnik off the ground. As the intensity of the moment swelled and shattered.
I need to get Timofey out of here.
But then the guards came. They whisked Kreshnik away. And Timofey looked at me.
In that one look, I saw all of the heartbreak. All of the pain and the torment. I saw the rage.
I knew instantly what he wanted. It's what I want, too.
The man who kidnapped and hurt Benjamin is not only still breathing; he's walking away. Being led away, actually. Protected by security guards who have no idea the kinds of atrocities he has committed.
If it hurts me to see, I know it's killing Timofey. Which is why when his eyes meet mine, I nod.
"Go get him."
