Her Forever and Always (F.F. Book 2)

31. Cold Pt. 2

~~~

Logan's POV-

"Hey, wake up," Jace says as he shakes my shoulder. I open my eyes to find us in a bunch of trees with a building just up ahead.

"Shit. Are we here?" I ask him. He nods as he reaches behind him into the backseat to grab two guns. He hands me one.

"Just to be safe. But, if you can avoid it, don't fire it," he tells me sternly. I simply nod as I take the gun into my hand and shake at how it feels in my hand.

I've never used a gun before, let alone, held one.

Whatever.

We're here and Kim's inside that building. If he knows what's good for him, she better be ok. And he better not have touched her.

Or I swear...I might accidentally shoot the son of a bitch.

"Hey, yeah, we're going in. Wait for my cue." Jace says over the phone. When he hangs up, he nods towards me and I get what he's saying.

Let's go get her.

Climbing out of the car after a long drive, makes me flinch a little as I feel folded. I quickly stretch my arms out along with my legs before I follow Jace up to the building.

It looks really rundown. I doubt there would be any central heating or anything like that. No wonder he brought her here. In the middle of nowhere, out in the woods and-

I hear waves splashing around.

A fucking lake.

Wow.

Judging the distance we just travelled, we're probably on Lake Superior.

Whatever. It doesn't matter.

I take a deep breath as we stand right in front of the door. Jace reaches for the doorknob and tries turning it.

It's unlocked.

He nods towards me as he holds up his gun to his chest as he slowly turns the doorknob and opens the door. When he makes his way in, I note how quiet he is and how he's checking everything around him. When it looks all clear - I'm assuming - he turns around and gestures for me to follow.

I do so and check my surroundings as I walk in like he did.

Go there.

He mouths to me. I nod and do as he says. He goes in a different direction as I continue down the long hall. I can smell wood burning. It's gotta be some fireplace. So, that means someone is here...right?

Yeah.

I do my best to quietly make my way through the hall, checking each room as I go. So far, there's only one room with a door. And it's the room at the end of the hall. That's where I'm headed. I'm hoping she's in there, safe, and unharmed.

When I reach the door, I can practically feel myself stop breathing as I hope to every single god out there that she's behind this door. I take another deep breath and slowly open the door with the gun up to my chest, like Jace was doing earlier. I walk through the door and...

I feel my eyes pricker with tears as I see her there. On a bed. But before the tears can fall, I quickly realize that she's completely exposed. Her bra is still on her. But her underwear is ripped and not even on her, but on the floor. My blood boils but calms down when she looks over towards me.

There's tear stains down her face.

Fucking bastard.

"Logan..." she says as tears start to run down her face.
