"Slow down," Andrew complained from the passenger seat. He was hurriedly sliding a full magazine into the Browning. He checked to make sure the safety was on, then handed the gun to me. I grabbed it and slipped it into my shoulder holster.
"Alex," he said, staring at me.
"Yeah," I answered.
"Slow down," he repeated. I glanced at the speedometer and realized I was going 90 on the long winding forest road. I eased my foot off the gas, bringing my speed down to 60.
"Not much of an improvement, but I'll take it."
"I'm not wasting any time finding her, Andrew," I said coldly. Andrew pulled out his own pistol and inserted a full magazine into it, not looking at me.
"Since when do you outwardly care about this girl?" he asked. I resisted the urge to give him a glare, and kept my eyes on the road.
"Since my outwardly not-caring put her life in danger." Andrew remained quiet as he slipped his pistol into his shoulder holster. We both wore our holsters over our shirts. One, chafing from a holster was pretty uncomfortable. Two, when we find these assholes, not if, when, I want them to know we're coming full force, guns blazing.
I want them to see the danger as it comes to them, that way I can smile while I put a bullet through their heads. I felt myself slowly begin to smile as I became overwhelmed with scenarios of my revenge.
"Alex," I heard Andrew say, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah?" I asked, the smile disappearing.
"Grace wants us to meet them somewhere. They found something." I felt a hollowness in my stomach, and I hoped the something wasn't a bad something.
"Where?" I asked. He told me the location.
"Why in the hell would they take her in the middle of the woods?" Andrew asked. My mouth set in a hard line and my foot once again became heavier against the gas pedal.
"The same reason we kept her in the middle of the woods," I said, my eyes staring hard at the road in front of me. "So no one could find her."
