Alastair’s phone rang in his pocket.He pulled it out and walked a few steps away.

“Drew.”

Drew turned to see Nala standing uncertainly halfway down the steps.

“I’ll go with him.I don’t want him to hurt Beth.”

“There’s my pet,” Clayton said, making Nala flinch.

“Go up to our room.”

“But…”

“No.Do it now.”

She nodded slowly and, without looking at Clayton, walked off.

“You don’t have to pack a bag, dear.I have everything you’ll need,” Clayton yelled.

He was just digging himself deeper, Drew thought.He watched Alastair visibly relax, hang up, and stick his phone back in his pocket as he walked to them.He nodded at Drew, making him exhale and nod back, knowing Beth was all right.

“How do you want to play this?”Drew asked Alastair.

“I will take him…”

Drew shook his head.“You can have a piece of him, but he tortured my girl for years.”

Alastair paused and then nodded.“Have your men take him to the South Street warehouse.”

Drew nodded and faced Clayton.He almost smiled to see the confusion on the man’s face.

“What are you talking about?”Clayton asked.

“You’re going to be visiting with us for a while,” Drew said.

Alastair whistled, and several men came in through the door.

“South Street.Drew and I will be there shortly,” Alastair said.

Clayton backed up and put his hands out.“Wait.What about your wife?”

Alastair smirked.“She’s at home, probably in the bathtub already, with some of the girls taking care of her until I get there.”

“That’s not possible,” Clayton screeched.

“Oh, it definitely is.You see, my wife has been taken before, so I had a necklace made with a long-distance tracker in it.My men took off at the same time I did.Isn’t it amazing how quickly we found her in that run-down motel?”

Clayton grew pale as he struggled to get away from the men.“What about my men?”

“The ones that are here at the house were given the chance to leave and never come back.The others that touched my Beth are dead.No one touches her and lives,” Alastair said.

Drew and Alastair watched and listened to the man scream as they shoved him into the back of a van.

“Tie him to the chair,” Drew said.The men nodded and took off.

“I’m going to go home and see my wife.I’ll be down later.”

Drew nodded.“Bring a whip with you if you can.”
