"They guy who grabbed us."

"Got a location!" Nolen announced with pride. "She's ten minutes from here. Let's move!"

"Olivia, did you hear that? We know where you are. Ten minutes, baby. We will be there in ten minutes. Daddy’s coming for you."

Hendrix climbed in next to me while the rest of his team filed in. "Ask her where she is and who’s there with her," he whispered from his spot.

"Olivia, can you tell me where you are exactly? What kind of building you're in?"

"Umm . . . I think it's a house. He put me in this room. It looks like a library. There was this really old phone that I had to turn the numbers to get it to work."

A rotary phone? My eleven-year-old daughter was calling me from a rotary phone. I wasn't sure who I needed to thank for that bit of history to work but I was forever grateful.

"And where is the guy now?"

"I don't know." Her soft voice trembled with fear. I would kill the man for putting it there. "He locked me in here and told me to stay put."

And yet, she had been smart enough to look through the room to find a way to call me. My little girl was so damn brave.

"We're almost there, Olivia. I'm coming for you, baby," I repeated.

Nothing would keep me from meeting my little girl for the first time.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Hendrix

"Matthew, stop!"

I cursed myself for not acting sooner. I was too busy listening to his side of the conversation with his daughter that I thought I had time to talk him into waiting in the car. Instead Matthew was running across the lawn with his arm up to his ear where he still spoke to Olivia and his other arm pumping at his side.

"Fucking A . . ." Maverick was right behind me chasing Matthew down.

When I got close enough, I dropped my shoulder like a linebacker and charged for the man I hoped to one day be my brother-in-law.

We both hit the ground hard, and I heard a crunch underneath me, followed by a howl.

"Get off me! I think you broke something."

"Daddy!"

Matthew and Olivia screamed at the same time.

With Maverick's help, we flipped Matthew over but kept him pinned to the ground. "Keep your voice down," I hissed. "Andassure Olivia you're fine. I know you want to get in there to her, but we can't run in half-cocked. That's how people get killed."

"Olivia, I'm here, I'm fine. We're coming in for you." That last part was directed at me and I nodded my head in agreement.

"In position," Aaron advised us through our earpieces.

We had put them in on the ride over and devised a plan while Matthew was talking to his daughter. I doubt he heard it, or even bothered to listen. If he had, he would've known we were going to do a quick three-sixty to cover all exits before storming in.

"Copy that. Getting into position now."

Maverick and I were taking the front door. Lex and Aaron had the back. Nolen was on overwatch making sure no one slipped out a window without us knowing.

I hauled Matthew off the ground and winced when I saw the angle of his arm. Definitely broken. Maisie would be on my ass about that, but it was better than him being dead.

"Stay behind us and do exactly as we say."
