“All of our phones are tracked, so he’ll use them to keep eyes on us and make sure we don’t get taken anywhere,” I tell him as we hide in the foliage. “Are you okay?” I ask now that I’m finally able to give him my full attention.
I look him up and down, searching for any sign that he’s hurt. He seems okay, but that could just be adrenaline and shock.
“Fine.” He shoots me a genuine smile. “Like for real.”
“Are you sure? You’re not hurt at all?” I resist the urge to tell him to spin around so I can make sure he really is fine.
He shakes his head. “Did the phone thing work? The SOS message.”
“Yeah.” I want so badly to pull him into my arms and hold him close, but we’re not out of danger yet, and letting our guard down now would be another dumbass move. “Smart thinking using it like that.”
He smiles and opens his mouth to say something, but instead of speaking, he jumps out from behind the bushes.
I’m so surprised I don’t have a chance to grab him, but I relax when I see him rushing toward the twins.
They’re walking toward us, looking as calm as can be with not even a hair out of place.
“It’s all good,” Jax calls.
“Got ’em,” Jace confirms as Felix launches himself at both twins and hugs them tight.
“We’re happy to see you too, kid,” Jace says with a chuckle as they give him a big bear hug.
“Are you okay?” he asks when he steps back. “Are you hurt?” He looks between them.
“Nope, but you should see the other guys.” Jace makes a face. “Or maybe you shouldn’t. It’s not pretty in there.”
“Definitely shouldn’t,” Jax says and flicks his gaze to me.
“ETA is about fifteen minutes,” I tell him.
“So what do we do now?” Felix asks.
“We wait for the teams and hopefully get some answers,” I tell him.
“What happened in there?” Jax asks.
“He wanted me to sign some documents without letting me read them. I’m not positive, but it looks like he was trying to take control of my trust. And he had a new will drawn up for me.”
“A new will?” I look at him in alarm.
He nods. “I have no idea what was in it, but from what I could tell, it has to do with my shares in the company.”
“I know protocol is to wait, but I wanna get my hands on his computer so bad.” Jace shoots his brother a hopeful look.
“No,” Jax says firmly. “Dad will lose his shit if you break protocol again, and I’m the one who’s going to have to hear about it.”
“So what I’m hearing is that there’s really no downside to me going back in there and?—”
“No.” Jax levels him with a flat look. “Don’t make me tell Mom you were trying to go into an unsecured scene. You know how that’s going to end.”
Jace makes a face. “Fine. I can wait.”
Now that the danger is gone, I put the safety on my gun. Felix does the same and holds it out to me. “I know how to use it, but that doesn’t mean I want to.”
I take it and slip it into the back of my waistband. Then I pull him toward me and hold him against my side.
“Is it over?” he asks softly.
