Oh, and when Diablo didn’t like something, he made that perfectly evident.
And not in a good way.
He moved closer, and placed himself in front of Gamble in the weeds to offer him some protection.
The man must not have liked it.
When the asshole slapped Gamble’s horse on the hind quarter, Diablo kicked back, taking the man down.
OOF.
When he got up, holding his stomach, he pulled that gun and pointed it at him.
“You’re fucked,” he said, ready to shoot him.
Yeah, only that wasn’t happening.
That’s when Gamble moved, protecting his animal. He reached out, grabbed the gun, and disarmed the surprised man.
The look on his face was priceless.
Oh, he went hard.
He kicked the shit out of him, and used the gun to hit him in the face.
He.
Went.
Out.
Patting him down, he pulled out his license, and grabbed his phone.
There was reception here, but most of the acres didn’t have it, so if he was going to dial a Hunter, he had to do it here.
Shit.
Now, he just had to remember a phone number.
There was only one, the easiest one to remember, so he did his thing.
He might have a fighting chance to get help. Not wanting to talk, and make any more noise, he pulled up the text messages.
And composed one as quickly as possible.
‘Zayn, it’s Gamble. We’ve been invaded at Doctor Poe Seville’s home. Mercenaries are looking for a code. It has something to do with Poe and his brother Hemmingway. We’re tucked into a rock formation on your ancestor’s Native land. I have Poe with me, and we’re safe. Send help. Poe’s house has a shit ton of mercenaries all over it. We’re fucked.’
He hit send, and it went on its merry way. Hopefully, he’d get it because Gamble was beginning to get that feeling that they were going to have one hell of a problem.
Staring at the phone, he was worried.
Why?
Unfortunately, it didn’t say delivered, and that meant he wasn’t one hundred percent sure that Zayn would get it.
Oh, he would.
IFhis phone was on, and he knew Mr. Paranoid didn’t walk around with it on in his pocket. He didn’t like the government trying to fry his testicles with the gamma rays, or some nonsense like that.
