And hauled ass out of there.

It was a long drive back to Boston, but she wanted to do it alone.

Right now, she couldn’t face anyone.

Honestly, she needed a break.

A big one.

Honestly, Alyona was exhausted.

Killing the monster that made her didn’t give her peace.

It was funny how shit went down like that.

But of course, it did.

Area Fifty-Two

One Hour Later

All four Spiders headed in, and when they got there, they were met with very anxious people. The whole time on the mission, there was radio silence.

Of course, not seeing his daughter, Greyson was the first up.

“Where is she?” he asked, looking around.

Reaper approached.

“She told me to tell you that she’s okay,” he said, giving him the message.

Jax was confused.

“Where is she then?”

Reaper handed him the note. When he opened it, his heart hurt.

His poor girl.

‘Jax, I’m good. I’ll meet you guys back in Boston. I need to drive home myself. I need to think it through. I’ll see you at home. I can’t be me right now. I need to find my way through this. I’m sorry.’

Well, at least he knew she was okay and that she was heading home. Thankfully, he’d gotten lucky, and she wasn’t running from him.

AGAIN.

If she did, he’d find her.

That’s what love was all about.

“What is going on?” Greyson asked. “Really? Where the hell is she?”

Reaper reassured him.

“She wanted to get home alone. She needed some space,” he said.

It was the least they could give her. She had, after all, handled the man and been the MVP on this one.
