“If you get out, make sure I get my stuff, or I’m going after Bri,” Boss called out and then was gone.
The room filled with smoke, and my lungs were having none of it. I coughed and struggled for air, and with each movement of my chest, the pain hurt worse.
Yeah. It was time to go.
Rolling to my side, I tried to stand, but I couldn’t get up. Just then the shattering of glass filled the space, and I covered my head. Several booted feet and bright lights surrounded me.
It wasn’t until I heard a familiar voice did I have an ounce of relief.
“Baby, I’ve got you,” Killian said, and only then did I allow my body to go limp.
