Chapter 12

“What the fuck just happened?”

“I’ll explain in a minute. Untie him but don’t leave the room.”

“Wait.”

“One minute.”

David lunged at him just as he disappeared. Explaining this was not going to be fun, but right now, Jesse’s priority was Gideon.

In the few seconds he had been gone, more men had spilled down the stairwell. Gideon had vamped out, snarling at any who tried to get near him, but there was a long streak of blood along his leg where somebody else had taken a shot at him, and a cut along his forehead leaking into his eye. His head snapped around the moment Jesse materialized, and he leapt toward him, hooking his arm around Jesse’s waist and dragging him out of sight behind some of the kegs.

“Get us out of here,” he growled.

“Yes, Sir.” He clung to Gideon and another gun blast made his ears ring. His ears were still ringing when his stomach was pulled against his spine, and all of his organs protested the sudden teleportation so soon after the other one.
