He ended the call. I put my phone away, put my helmet on and loaded the directions to Ally on my phone. It said a two-hour drive, but I knew I could make it in less. I had to.
From the street,everything looked fine. That meant no one would have any questions and this would be easy to clean up. The gate was still working; I put in my code and drove in. I made it here in an hour and fifteen minutes, it was the fastest I had ever pushed my bike, but the closer I got here, the more urgency I had to get here quicker.
I kicked out the kick stand, and chucked my helmet off next to King’s bike that still felt a little warm, meaning he had just gotten here too. I walked around the corner and saw the aftermath. Bodies littered the floor, I walked by them trying to see if I recognized any of them. Arthur was talking to King as I recognized a few of Ally’s men surrounding a car I assumed she was in.
King nodded at me as I passed him. Arthur looked exhausted, with blood splattered all over him and a very bloody nose. I walked straight to the car to the door that was open. Slowly looking inside, my jaw clenched as I saw Ally in acorner, holding on to her knees, looking down at two men. She was covered in blood, but the look in her eyes was haunted, reminding me of the night she had killed Kris.
“Little One,” I said softly.
She never took her eyes off the men.
“Little One,” I said a little louder.
She didn’t even flinch.
“Ally,” I said louder.
Her brown eyes snapped up to me. The moment we locked eyes she scrambled towards me.
A small whimper escaped her as she crashed into me. Her body shook violently as she sobbed. Violence blazed through my body as she broke down in my arms. What the fuck had happened for her to react like this. Not even when Kris’ men took and beat her, or when she watched one of the girls die or even when she took Nic’s life did she react like.
“What happened?” I growled.
She gave no response instead falling apart in my arms. King walked over to us with a murderous look in his eyes. He laid a hand on her back as he looked down at her. His jaw ticked as he studied her, then he glanced up at me.
“Arthur would like us to bring reinforcements,” he stated almost robotically.
I shook my head. “She leaves tonight, she is not safe here.”
“I agree,” he said. “He said Lance is gone, no one can find him.”
Ally pulled away, sniffling. “What?”
“Lance is missing,” King said again.
Ally scowled. “Missing as he was taken or missing as he did this?”
“Arthur suspects he did this,” King answered.
Ally shook her head. “No, No, not Lance… He… He wouldn’t do this.”
“Then where is he?” I snapped, ready to murder him.
“I… I don’t know but—” Her brows furrowed.
“We need to leave while your team secures the compound,” King said looking around. “I’ll send Mars and a team back to see what the fuck happened with the system. It would make sense someone disabled everything from the side and left you vulnerable.”
“They came through the town,” she said. “Right as we were closing.”
“The guard upfront let them through,” King stated as Arthur walked up to us.
“We have him,” he said as two men dragged a man who looked no more than twenty.
“This is who you had in the front?” Ally snapped.
“We had a rotation, I assumed Lance had it covered,” Arthur said, his face looking down.
“Why did you do it?” Ally asked, pushing away from me.
