Page 96 of Pallas & Kawehi

That's when she started pushing through the crowd. She had to find Dom or any of the guys. They'd know how to help her get Kawehi away from her piece of shit husband.

"Hey! The fuck! Watch it!"

"Sorry," she pushed on, "you can get mad at me later! Got to get through!"

When she took in her first in drawn gasp of fresh air, she wanted to cry, but a second later she was hauled up against a hard, muscular body.

"What the hell are you doing?"

She'd know that angry growl anywhere. Axl.

"Dom. I need to talk to Dom!"

Axl reacted like she'd slapped him. "Why him?"

Maile glared at the man who made her stupid hot even at the worst possible time. "Because my cousin's husband is back. He dragged her out of the hangar!"

"Well fuck!" Axl wrapped his arm around her and moved so fast that she was pretty sure her feet didn't even touch the ground. "Pallas!"

They passed by people in uniform, families, couples, and big pieces of equipment, only to come to a quick stop at the backside of some kind of truck.

"Pallas!"

Dom looked up from a group that he was talking to, but as soon as he saw her standing there, he rushed over.

"Maile? What's going on?"

She opened her mouth to speak and felt hot tears roll down her cheeks.

She lifted the hand she had her phone in and dashed the back of it across her eyes. "Nick took Kawehi out the back door of the hangar, I-"

Maile was almost bowled over as Dom moved past her.

Axl was quick enough to grab his arm and drag him to a stop. "Hey!"

Dom turned around, his expression full of fury.

Axl was the first to speak. "Slow down. Think."

Buck and Riptide were suddenly there. Neither asked questions, just listened in.

"He's got her but think about it. He took her out the back door of the hangar, right?" Axl looked at her.

She nodded. "It looked like he was pushing her in front of him."

Buck and Riptide shared looks before Riptide weighed in. "Out that back door is just the air strip and the bay. We can box them in."

Dom nodded. "I don't want him to think there's no way out. I don't want to spook him."

Buck agreed. "He might panic."

Maile stiffened with fury. "He knows she doesn't swim."

Axl looked down at her. "Okay?"

"You guys are a bunch of single men." Maile poked a finger in his chest. "Hawaii is a community property state. If she dies-"

Axl had to hold Dom back. "Hold on. We can do this."
