Four or Dead
Chapter 70
Logan
I have never ridden a four-wheeler before, but I can say I see the appeal now. Of course, I doubt you are supposed to ride them in near darkness
Jayden was able to sync our phones so we can all see where our guys are and the estimated location of Zane's property. We try to stick near each other but the darkness and the dense forest have put some distance between me and the guys
Honestly, all I can think about is getting to Emma. If the guys get lost we'll have to go after them later. I need to see my girl and fast. This time apart has messed with my mind, and I don't think I'll feel right again until I am holding her again
It takes a good half hour of us driving blindly through the forest before I hear the sounds of gunshots going off in the distance. I try to speed up and head in the direction of the sound but there is only so fast I can go with this much stuff in my way. I start to hear the sounds of the other four-wheelers heading in the same direction and I know whoever is in that place knows we are close. The sound of us coming is like thunder in the silence around here. \*)
We must be getting closer because I can hear shouting and a few more gunshots. Then another sound starts to echo around us. Something loud...a few moments later and a large cabin comes into view. I slow to a stop and jump off my ride and with a glance to the left and right of

me, I see the others doing the same. We all stop just behind the last row of trees and listen for any other sounds or movements; guns drawn and ready
The next round of shots has us all rushing toward the house and spreading out. A few guys head around back and I, Asher, Leo, and Jayden head through the front door. I count down from three and kick the front door in. A guy turns to us and starts to shoot but we take him out quickly and move further inside. A few more guys who didn't seem to hear us enter turn to us and start to shoot wildly in our direction but we seem to be an afterthought to them. They are all coming from the
same direction and look...panicked. \?) Something's happened.
Is it Emma?
One of them starts talking into a radio and I hear shots and yelling coming from outside. I can't think about what's happening out there though because Emma is somewhere in here and we need to find her
Asher takes out radio guy and I run past letting the guys handle any more men headed their way
I turn down around the corner and see the stairs. With my gun raised, I make quick but cautious steps toward it and make my way up to the second floor. As I reach the top of the steps a few shots fly past my head, so I slam against the wall and keep my head low until the shots stop. Once they do I see a few men carrying someone rush further down the hall.)
Chapter 70
I watch them open a door at the very end and disappear through it
They didn't have Emma with them, so I run up the last of the steps and toward the room they had been coming out of. My heart stops the second I see the blood everywhere. I hear rushed footsteps coming from behind me and soon the others are pushing past me to look for Emma
"Where the hell is she?" Asher yells knocking over the metal toolbox sitting on the dresser
That strange I heard earlier seems louder now that we're inside and it sounds like it's coming from the roof. I
"Come on!" I yell at the guys and turning back toward the hallway
Whatever is up there must be where those guys were dragging that injured guy to. I run down the hall and throw the door open and find another set of stairs. The noise is a lot louder now, so I have to shout pretty loud to get the other's attention
"Over here!" I call out over my shoulder before heading up the stairs
I hear shots going off and some cursing, so I keep my gun up and take a second before rushing out the open door. A rush of sound and wind but me making me throw my arm up to protect my face. I get a glimpse of a helicopter taking off and the men on the roof shooting at it. A female scream has me focused on the helicopter again and for just a small moment I see Emma's scared face. The helicopter turns too soon and lifts too high for anyone to stop it and it flies past the trees, taking Emma away again

My rage is untethered now and I need to release it now, so I turn my attention to the men on the roof who are kneeling around someone. I storm toward them and hold the barrel of my gun to one of the guy's heads. The sound of my pulling the hammer back catches the group's attention and they jump to their feet and turn their guns to me. Too bad for them I'm not alone
"Drop it!" I hear Asher call out from behind me but I keep my gun firm on the guy in front of me
I glance past him for a split second and I'm shocked to see Zane laying on the ground bleeding out
"I said drop them now!" Asher warns again and soon I hear more
footsteps heading our way
"You're outnumbered. Better do what he says!" I call out
A quiet moment passes before the sound of metal falling to the ground rings out
I nudge the guy in front of me with my gun. "Pull out your weapons." He does what I ask. "Now get up." He does and someone comes and pulls him away, leaving Zane alone
"Well, we'll. Hello Mr. Dalton." I say with a smirk. "What do we have here?"
Chapter 70
"Go to hell you little prick!" He growls out before his eyes shut and he groans in pain
"So one of your men shot you in the back huh?" I ask but from the amount of blood, it's hard to tell exactly where he's been shot
"Where are they taking Emma?" Leo asks impatiently
Zane coughs up some blood but still sneers at Leo. "I don't know.")
We need to get him to help soon or he'll die, and we need him to find out where his men are taking our girl. I
"Grab him." Asher orders
I give Zane a smile and walk up to him, pulling him to his feet. Leo grabs him on the other side and we start to drag him toward the door
As we do I hear shots go off behind me and I know our men are taking out the guys who had tried to get Zane away
No one here can be left alive. Now we can only hope none of them got word to the rest of their crew just yet. Without Zane, his crew is going to be running around like chickens with their heads cut off, and we are going to move in and finish them for good
But we still didn't have Emma, and not even this change of events won't
make anything we do feel like a victory until she's there to see it too
)
God, I need her. I have never felt so empty before. Why did I have to fall
so hard for her? I just know if she breaks my heart I will never want another girl to touch me again
She is the only girl I will ever want and when we get her back I will show her every day. Asher may be ready to let her go for her own good but I won't. I'm selfish, and I want her no matter what and I'm ready to
kill anyone in the way of me being with her. Even my own brothers..
