“No, I haven’t spoken toher since she held Simon.Killer, what the fuck,” Tatesaid.
Disconnecting the line, Killer headedoutside.
“Wait, I’m coming withyou,” Sandy said, running after him.
He heard the commotion in theclubhouse as he left.
“I’m coming with you as well,”Stink said, following them all out.
Killer went straight for the truck.Hewaited long enough for Stink and Sandy to climb inside.
Charging out of the compound, he broke thespeed limit trying to get to his woman.Shit, she wouldn’t killherself.Kelsey was not the kind of woman to hide away fromeverything that was happening.They would get to her apartment tofind nothing out of place.
The panic wouldn’t stop with hisreasoning.He knew something bad had happened.Killer feltit.
“She’s going to be fine,”Sandy said.
“No, she’s not.If you thoughtshe was a fucking suicide risk you should have told me.I’d neverhave left her.”Killer was cursing himself for walking away fromher.What kind of bastard was he to just walk away?
Killer parked the truck with the tiressquealing.Running to the intercom, he buzzed Kelsey’s door.Hekept buzzing and buzzing.Nothing happened.There was noresponse.
“Fuck!”He yelled the word.Usinghis foot, he started to kick out at the door.He’d pay for therepairs.When the glass wouldn’t break, Stink joined him, andtogether they threw their weight behind smashing theglass.
He unlocked the door and chargedtoward Kelsey’s apartment.His heart was racing, and he’d never been so scaredbefore in his life.
Hearing Stink and Sandy hot on his heels,he pushed all of his weight behind his body and shoved the dooropen.None of the locks had been put in place, which was not likeKelsey.He told her to always put locks on even in the town of FortWills.Why wouldn’t Kelsey lock the door?
“Kelsey?”He shouted her nameloud enough to be heard throughout the whole apartment.There wasno sight of her the moment he walked through the door.Going to herbedroom he saw the bed looked untouched.His stomach was in knots,wondering what he was going to find.The apartment was eerilysilent.
Heart in his throat, he entered thebathroom.On the floor was her clothes, and he lifted his gaze upto the bath.The shower curtain was pulled across the bathobscuring his view.
Pulling open the curtain Killer sankto his knees.He pulled Kelsey into his arms.Both of her arms wereslit open, the blood leaking out.She was too pale to benormal.
“Kelsey, fuck, what have youdone?”He sank his hands into the bath, tugging her close.Reachingfor one of the towels he wrapped the cloth around herbody.
“Shit, Killer, out of the way,”Sandy said, sinking to her knees.“Stink, get on the phone.We needan ambulance immediately.”
He watched her press two fingers to herneck.“Her pulse is there, but it’s not strong.Fuck, Killer moveout of the way.”
“Don’t fucking tell me to moveaway.”He snarled the words at her.There was no way he’d beleaving his woman again.Fucking shit, she was so pale.There wasno way she could survive.The water she’d been in wasred.
Baby, what did youdo?
Biting his lip, he held ontoher, not caring about her naked stateeven as he tried to cover her with atowel.
“Pull her out of the bath,Killer.I need to stop the bleeding.”
“The ambulance is overtwenty minutes away,” Stink said, cursing.
“She’s not going to make it,”Sandy said, working.“Grab her a robe.I’m going to bind her armsup.We’ll have to take her to the hospital ourselves.We can getthere a lot faster without waiting for the ambulance.”
Stink hung up the phone and grabbed arobe.Holding her tight in his arms, Killer took the robe fromStink’s hands and wrapped it around her as Sandy bound up her arms.His heart was pounding and his head throbbing.Her body waslifeless as he held her.
“Come on, that’s going tohave to do.”Sandy got to her feet, heading out of theapartment.
Lifting her in his arms, he followed themoutside.Stink was in the truck firing up the engine.Another carpulled up, and Tate rushed out of the car.
Tears exploded in her eyes.“What the hellis going on?What did she do?”Tate rushed to his side, touchingKelsey.
