Now she just had to figure out her next move.

Chapter 26

Brandon just about had his hands free. That bastard had tied them with rope and then wrapped them with duct tape. It had been just over twenty minutes since he had become conscious and in that time his mind had thought of nothing but Leah and getting to her.

He was appalled at himself that he let a guy like Will Huntington get the jump on him. He was a cop for fucks sake. And in letting Will get the better of him, he put Leah in danger. If Will was willing to tie up a cop and steal his gun, there’s no telling what else he was willing to do.

And that scared him.

He was still struggling with the rope and tape when he heard someone enter his house. His body tensed thinking that it was Will again.

And then he heard Logan shout his name. “Brandon!”

He started screaming through the gag, hoping it was enough for Logan to hear him.

“Holy fuck,” Logan said when he saw him and immediately ran to him and ripped the tape and gag from his mouth.

“Who did this?” he asked.

“Will Huntington,” he said, shaking his arm when it was finally loose. “He took my gun, too.”

“Fuck me!” Logan swore. “The girls are all together at the studio right?”

“I hope so,” he said. “Can you try calling there and making sure. I need to get my other gun and my phone.”

He ran to his room where he kept his lockbox and retrieved his extra weapon along with his phone.

“Umm, Bran,” Logan said when he came back out of his room. “You’re not gonna like this but Leah left the studio about an hour ago.”

“What!” he shouted. “Where did she go?”

“Carly said, her note said, she was coming to bring you lunch.”

His stomach turned. If she came here, Will was sure to have gotten to her.

“I have to find her,” he said, panicked.
