Took out as in& ?
Alive but not causing any trouble, said the man. I need to get upstairs. You stay here and let
the police know what s going on when they get here.
Hey! shouted Dean as the bodyguard turned towards the elevator. You re not going up there
alone. You re bleeding out all over the place and there s at least one guy who already got the jump on
you up there.
The man twisted back and stared Dean down. You re right. You come with me.
Dean didn t need to be told twice. He followed him to the elevator and paused by the fire safety
cubby carved into the wall. I m guessing you don t have an extra gun.
The bodyguard eyed Dean. Even if I did, I wouldn t give it to you.
Fair enough. Dean pulled the fire extinguisher free.
The other man grunted and Dean couldn t tell whether it was approval or annoyance. Come on.
Dean came up behind him as they both had to wait for the elevator to come down. Dean s fist
tightened around the handle of the extinguisher. If he found anyone laying so much as a finger on
Victoria, they were going to wish they d never been born.

As Donny approached her, Victoria fought through her nerves. She had the pepper spray, but even
if she got a full amount in Donny s face, Joslyn still had the gun. She d never make it to the door in
time.
And that was assuming it all didn t go into her eyes anyway.
So when Donny grabbed her by the arm, she swallowed the revulsion and kept herself from
reaching for the one weapon she had.
As his meaty hand closed around her bicep, disgust filled her. He was going to kill her. He d
already murdered Jace, and now he was going to throw her off a roof. The panic crept in, and her
stomach churned with nausea. Just get out of the apartment. Once she was in the hallway, she could
make a break for it. Joslyn and Donny would be close to each other. One good spray could get them
both.
Before her newfound plan could give her any sort of comfort, Donny yanked on her arm. She
tripped over her feet, her heels not making the sudden dragging any easier. Her gut instinct was to
scratch and claw and punch, but she knew she needed to wait. But that didn t mean she had to be
quiet.
She needed to distract them. Keep them from seeing her when she reached for the spray. Please
don t do this, she begged. I ll give you anything you want.
Shut up, he spat out as he pulled her towards the door.
Money, houses, cars, women. Just name it and it s yours. Do you have any idea the kind of
influence I have in this town?
Joslyn stood in front of the door, free hand on her hip while the other held the gun loosely. Are
you going to be quiet out there?
Joslyn, I can give you anything you want. I will make you the hottest thing to hit the city. You ll
be on the cover of every gossip rag. Everyone will want to be your friend.
Thought so, said the crazy bitch as she slammed the butt of the gun into Victoria s face.
All her pleas fell into the back of Victoria s mind as her vision went blurry. The pain
reverberated through her and for a moment, the only reason she stood upright was because of Donny s
fingers biting into her arm.
Somewhere through the spinning haze of her vision, she saw Joslyn open the door. Go now
before she gets chatty again.
And then Donny was dragging her into the hallway. The hallway! This was her chance. Her plan.
She tried her best to concentrate. What was the plan? Spray. Hit the eyes and run for the stairs. Not
much of a plan, but better than taking a nosedive off the building.
As they got closer and closer to the elevator, she knew her window was closing. It was now or
never. She reached back for her spray when the dinging of the elevator signaled it had stopped on this
floor.
Donny and Joslyn stopped in their tracks as the elevator doors slid open. For a moment, Victoria
figured she was hit much harder than she originally thought, because Dean and Jace both stood
together. Waiting for her to join them.
But then Jace and Joslyn both raised their guns, pointing them at each other.
No! No guns! shouted Victoria as Donny pulled her in front of him like a shield.
Get your fucking hands off her, growled Dean as he took a step out of the elevator, not paying
