    It took a little over an hour before Ivan and the other guys came back to Sephie’s room. He had a few


    sets of stitches in various ces, but nothing major. I raised an eyebrow, curious how it went. Misha


    looked proud of himself. “The recording was enough that the doctor could check him over thoroughly.


    He didn’t break anything. Just some stitches,” he said.


    They had put Sephie in a double room, with strict orders that no one else was to be ced in that


    room. The doctor was trying to give us an extra bed, since he knew we were all going to stay with her. I


    appreciated it. Ivan stretched out on the other bed. He looked exhausted. We all looked exhausted. We


    were quiet for a few minutes, then curiosity got the better of us.


    “We know Armando was a part of it, but did you find out about anyone else?” Viktor asked.


    “Sal was there the first night. Or first morning. To be honest, I have no idea what day it is. They took my


    watch, so time was meaningless while we were in that room. How long did it take you guys to find us?”


    Ivan asked. He had a bit of a grin on his face when he asked, like there was a joke we weren’t privy to


    that he was thinking about.


    “From the time they grabbed you until the time we got to you, it was right around 30 hours,” Viktor said.


    Ivan chuckled. “She’s gonna be so mad and so impressed at the same time.” We all looked to him for


    further exnation. “That was one of her first questions. How long it would take you guys to find us. I


    said no longer than a day and half. She said three days. She was worried when they found her tracker


    and pitched it. She didn’t know you’d be able to track us with the earpieces. I may have neglected to


    tell her that,” he said, his devious grin on his face.


    Andrei snapped his fingers and pointed at Ivan. “Rude.”


    “You guys heard her at thest. That’s how she was the entire time. Hell, she shot the guy that grabbed


    her off the bike in the face. She had them all worried anytime they talked to her.” He looked at me. “Did


    you see her eyes this time?”


    I nodded. When Stephen and I got to her, her eyes were as dark as I’d ever seen them. “They were


    almost ck when we got to her. Were they that dark the whole time?”


    “Yeah, but she kept her cool the entire time. She had one conversation in Italian that I couldn’t


    understand, but everything else I heard. She was incredible. She was messing with their heads the


    entire time,” Ivan said. You could hear the pride in his voice when he talked about her.


    “What happened when they grabbed you?” Misha asked. I knew he was likely wanting to see how


    urate his visions were. I had to admit, I was curious as well.


    “They had to be waiting on us. They came out of nowhere and caught me slowing down to turn onto a


    street. They blocked us. in, but I made a move to drive down the sidewalk. The vehicle in front cut me


    off. The guys in the vehicles behind us got out and grabbed her off the bike. I didn’t see how she got


    away, but that’s when she shot the guy in the face. She was on the way to help me when two more


    guys rushed her and mmed her into a parked car. One of them held a gun to her head, so I stopped.


    I’d killed two guys that were on me, but I froze when I saw the gun on her. They took everything off us


    there and threw us in a vehicle, then stopped along the way to drop the helmets and tracker. I’m sure


    you guys found everything though,” Ivan said.


    “She headbutted the guy that grabbed her before she shot him in the face,” Misha said. “We went to


    the scene and I was able to see what happened. It was like it was when she and I saw Trino. I’ve never


    been able to see something happen in the past. before.”


    Ivan raised his eyebrow. “She really did unlock a new level for you, then.”


    “What happened when Sal was there?” Viktor asked.


    Ivanughed. “Oh, dear G od, she’s just so funny without even meaning to be sometimes. She asked


    what Sal wanted with her. He told her he was originally just going to use her as bait to draw out Boss


    so he could kill him, but since she’d killed so many of Sal’s men, she was now in his debt. He said


    there was also the matter of his son and her making him look like a fool. He kept trying to touch her, but


    she kept moving away from him, even though we were tied to the chairs. He unzipped her shirt and just


    stared at her boobs for a minute. She asked if it was his first time seeing boobs. He pped her and


    told her she had a smart mouth and that she’d learn to keep it shut. She told him she didn’t care for


    school and she likely wasn’t going to learn it anytime soon. She said she told Anthony the same thing.


    Oh, I should mention that she called Anthony his ‘idiot son.” Sal punched her so hard that her chair


    tipped over backward. The two guys that grabbed us had to set her back upright. When she could look


    at him again, she told Sal he punched like a weak old man.” Ivan startedughing, but continued. “She


    said something like she bet he couldn’t even get it up and then asked him how many di ck pills he


    needed to even have sex.” We allughed.


    “What happened then? I’m sure that didn’t go over well with Sal,” Viktor asked.


    “Mando stepped in. He told Sal that they wouldn’t get as much for her if he kept hitting her. So, Sephie


    was able to get their n out of them with her di ck joke,” Ivan said. “She’s like a bloodhound when it


    comes to information. But that’s when Armando looked at her for the first time and saw her eyes. He


    was visibly frightened when he saw her. She took advantage of it, too. She told them both they were


    going to die slowly and painfully. It shook them both enough that they left the room immediately. She


    did the same to the guys that grabbed us. Apparently, they were discussing whether they could get


    away with stopping along the way and taking turns raping her. It was in Italian, so I didn’t understand it.


    She didn’t say anything to me at the time, butter, she let them know she understood. She told them


    she was going to enjoy sending them to meet their dead friends.”


    We all sat in stunned silence. We knew she was incredible, but she just kept impressing us with her


    ability to withstand whatever was thrown at her.


    “Did Sale back after that?” Andrei asked.


    “No. I was expecting him to. I was surprised when it was just Armando. I’m still not entirely sure which


    one of them is in charge. From what Sephie pulled out of Armando at the end there, I don’t think he’s


    ever been in charge. We need to confirm. with her when she wakes up, but I’m guessing it’s either


    Ricardo or Giana’s father that have been pulling the strings all along. for Armando,” Ivan said.


    “I need to do more digging on Ricardo to see if I can find out more about him,” Viktor said. “Armando is


    still alive. They took him to a room. Keith and Chris are making sure he stays there.”


    I felt Sephie’s hand start to jerk. She started to mumble in her sleep, which likely meant she was having


    a nightmare. I put my hand on her stomach and felt her body shaking. I started talking to her, trying to


    coax her out of her nightmare. She was still


    mumbling, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying as she was still having trouble speaking. I


    leaned down, talking softly


    in her ear, but it didn’t stop. The shaking started to get worse.


    “Get in bed with her, Boss,” Stephen said. “She’s probably freezing on top of everything else.” He and


    Andrei stood up to help move her over so I had room toy beside her. We moved all the tubesing


    out of her as carefully as possible and Iid


    down on her right side, which had the least amount of damage Andrei raised her shoulders up so I


    could slide my arm under


    her. When he eased her back toward the bed, she tried to tum toward the Andrei and Stephen both


    saw it and tried to help her


    roll on her side so she couldy on me as much as possible Her head rested partially on my shoulder,


    partially in her usual spot on my chest. Her left atto was in a shing that was secured to her waist keep


    her shoulder immobile, so she couldn’ts acTUKA


    my chest like she normally did. Her body started to rx as soon as her he on my shoulder and my


    hand was running sp and doen her back. I felt my body rx being able to hold her unce again.


    “F**king adorable,” they all said at our


    Stephen said, “You guys should get some sleep. I’m still very much on a caffeine high, so I’ll take the


    first shift. I don’t like that Sal is still atrge.”


    “Once he finds out about Anthony and Lorenzo, he’s going to be unpredictable. Let’s hope she doesn’t


    sleep for three days. We may not have that long.” Viktor said.


    “I can buy us a day or two with that,” I said, wiggling my phone out of my pocket. I nodded to Stephen


    to watch the door to make sure no one came in, then dialed Trino’s number.
