He runs.
This is the same man who barely breaks out in a brisk walk when he’s under fire. And now he’s wi
I start after him, only to have a heavy weight barrel into my chest.
Luca knocks me back with a splayed arm, then aims his gun at me from the subtle position at his hip. “You heard him. You’re coming with me.”
“Like hell I am. I’m going after Keira.”
There’s a slam of a car door, the roar of an engine, then the heavy squeal of tires as Torian reverses from the parking space.
“Let me go.” I get in his face, the seconds ticking by like hours.
“It’s too late.” Hunt grabs my arm and yanks me backward. “He’s already gone. We need to take the Jeep.”
“You’re not going anywhere but the restaurant.” Luca plants his feet. “Where’s your car?”

Hunt shrugs. “Nobody does. It doesn’t mean you pussy out of this.”
“Are you kidding me?” I seethe. “We’re stuck here because GI Joe has trust issues?”
He bares his teeth at me, but his weapon lowers an inch. Then another.
I don’t hang around for him to holster the weapon like a Girl Scout. I run, not pausing to take a breath as I sprint toward the Jeep.
