They both rake their gazes over me, making sure I’m unhurt.

“What’s going on?” I ask.

“The Black Widow has attacked Winslow High’s middle school division,” says Damon. “They’ve probably killed security personnel and several teaching staff along with taking the students hostage.”

“What are their demands?” Julian asks.

“Five hundred million dollars,” Caleb replies.

“Fuck!” Julian hisses.

“We have Callahan,” I say as a sliver of hope surges through me despite the depressing news. “We can use him to free the kids and teachers.”

“That’s what we’ve been discussing,” Damon whispers.

“Here’s what we’re going to do,” says Caleb in a commanding tone. “Take Callahan down to the interrogation room and get him to talk.”

“What if he’s a hard ass?” Damon asks as his amber eyes glint with a cold light. “Can I kick his ass?”

Caleb nods. “Threaten him. Hit him. I don’t give a fuck as long as you can force him to get his men out of that school without causing any further damage. In the meantime, I will go talk to Dad and the other senior officers who’re present here. We’ll all sit down to strategize which will give you guys a couple of hours to handle him and neutralize this situation.”

“I’m finally going to have some fun,” says Damon, looking unusually excited. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for so damn long.”

“Remember to keep Iris and Julian close,” Caleb commands. “Callahan devised this situation to distract us. I’m sure he was going to take her away while we panicked.”

Rage and hatred course through me. “I wish he didn’t involve kids in this mess.”

“He’s a monster,” Julian mutters through clenched teeth.

“Worry not, darlings,” Damon says, wrapping his arms around both our shoulders. “I will punish him for all his sins.”

“Get going,” says Caleb.

“Hold on a second,” says Damon as his expression grows somber again. “Make sure to surround the school and its perimeters with guards. The moment those bastards leave the premises, capture them.”

Caleb gives a nod.

“Good luck, brother.” Giving Caleb a hasty hug, Damon turns us away and leads us out of the entrance hall.

Anxiety grips me by the throat, making it hard for me to breathe.

The Black Widow recruits the cruelest of mercenaries in their ranks. I’ve seen the devastation they’re capable of. Just imagining all those innocent kids in their clutches makes me want to hurl.

No matter what happens wewillmake Callahan submit to us today.

He underestimated both me and my mates. He thought he could play the same dirty tricks to possess me but he failed.

We’ve been preparing to face him since the day he hurt us. There’s no way I’ll let him win today.

My gaze stays fixed on Iris’s back as she hops up the stairs. Pride swells within me, knowing she’s the one who knocked Callahan out and locked him in a bathroom.

My lips stretch in a wide grin as I consider the ridiculousness of the situation.

Callahan came in here thinking he could do whatever he pleased. He never expected Iris to fight back the way she did.
