From Burning Ashes (Collector Series #4) - Plot & Excerpts
Fuck. Fuck. A bullet whistled by my ear as I darted back for the roof door, flinging it open. The sound of footsteps gaining on me bounced off the walls in loud, shrill noises. I hated going back to the roof, limiting my exits, but I had no choice. I shut the door behind me, fastening the flimsy lock. It would only hold them for a brief moment, but any time I could gain, I would take. I took the steps two at a time, and my short legs strained to push harder. I reached the top, grasping for the knob. I barely touched it before it swung open, and I stumbled out into the night. My hope that it was Ryker immediately vanished when a gun was pressed to my forehead. “Step out,” the man barked. The familiarity of his voice rolled over me. “Drop your weapon.” “Carlos?” The man who followed Maria around like a lovesick puppy, the one who had actually been decent enough to me under Duc’s rule, stood in front of me, pushing a gun to my head. He stirred at hearing his name, but his expression stayed hard and ruthless.
