“Why don’t you think about what your husband has been up to lately.”
“He goes to work. That’s all I know,” I said quickly. We were nearing the front of the office. I was losing my chance to get a message out.
“If he had kept his nose out of other people’s business, you wouldn’t be in this position. If you ever make it back to him, I would ask him if his search for the truth was worth it.”
Search for the truth? What the hell did that mean? It was all I had to go on though. I started signing as quickly as I could, keeping my right hand down by leg so he couldn’t see. I signed something about your search for the truth. I got it about one and a half times before he pushed the door open and shoved me through. I hoped that was enough. I hoped that someone could decipher my sign language. It was all I had, the only hope keeping me going at this point. And if Knight couldn’t find me soon, I had a feeling that I would never see him or my kids again.

Book 2 of the series finale
Knight
The door to her clinic was standing wide open and there were blood smears all over the door and along the floor. Oh, God. My heart thundered in my chest as I ran for the door. I pulled my weapon and crashed through the door, just barely hearing Pappy in my ear, begging me to wait. But I couldn’t wait. Kate could be back there. She was my life, the only good in me that kept me pushing through this crappy life. If she was gone, I would have no one. Not even our kids could keep me from burning down this world. They meant everything to me, but Kate…she was my salvation.
I ran through the clinic, checking every room until I got to her office. The blood on the floor was thicker here, pooling out of the door in such a way that I knew that whoever was back there was most definitely dead. I was stalled, unable to move and see who was there. I felt Pappy grip my shoulder tightly, anchoring me in this moment.
“I’ll go first,” he said.
“No.” I needed to do this. If she was…if it was her, that was on me. I had to be the one that witnessed the wreckage of what I had brought down on us. When was I going to learn? How many times did I have to put my family at risk because of my own need for justice?
I moved forward, each step my heart thundered in my ears and the world moved in slow motion. I made it to the doorway, but it was a man’s shoe that I saw on the floor. Hoping against hope, I moved quickly inside. She wasn’t there. There was a dead man on the floor, but she wasn’t there. My shoulders sagged in relief and my body started to shake. I felt like I was going to collapse at any second. Pappy gripped my arm like he knew I was about to go down.
“She’s not here,” I croaked out.
“Which means she’s probably still alive. We need to get back to Reed Security and check the footage. From there, we’ll be able to find her.”
I nodded, but the blood smears on the floor brought back memories I would rather forget.
A broken wine bottle. Droplets of blood on the bedroom floor.
I squeezed my eyes shut as I was assaulted with the images that still haunted my dreams.
I moved silently through the basement with Ice, Jules, and Chris on my heels. We had to clear the whole fucking warehouse, but my only objective was finding Kate. I moved into a dark room with Chris, both of us clearing it when we saw movement in the corner. Kate and Vanessa were on the ground, chained to the fucking wall. I ran over to Kate, pulling out cutters to remove the chains from around her wrists. She stared up at me with wide eyes, her body trembling in fear. I handed off the cutters as she threw her arms around me and held me tight.
“Shhh,” I whispered in her ear. We needed to be silent, so as much as I wanted to talk to her, I couldn’t put everyone else in danger. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. I could kick my own ass for the terror I had put her through. It didn’t matter that this had nothing to do with me. She was in danger because of the company I kept. They were all good people, but my life continued to put her in
