Claimed By The Outlaw He Actually Ran
The moment fractured all at once, gunfire erupting from the treeline behind Voss's position, and Sloane's heart seized with terror before she understood, in the same instant, that it was Rafe and Tomás, having circled wide around the loading dock exactly as planned, opening fire not at Marco or at Voss directly but at the exposed flank of the guards holding him.Chaos erupted across the loading dock, Voss's men scattering for cover, and Colt moved in the same heartbeat, shoving Sloane hard behind a stack of rusted shipping containers before launching himself toward the nearest guard with the brutal, controlled efficiency of a man who had spent years learning exactly how to end violence quickly and decisively.Sloane, crouched behind the containers with her heart hammering, watched Marco Vega, weaponless and exhausted after twenty-eight years of captivity, throw himself sideways as his guards' attention fractured, rolling hard behind an overturned pallet, putting solid cover between hi
Claimed By The Outlaw Ten Seconds
Colt's hand found Sloane's arm, steady even as every line of his body remained coiled and ready, and she felt the specific, agonizing calculation happening behind his eyes, the same calculation she could feel happening in her own chest, weighing every possible move against a man who held her father's life in careful, unhurried hands.She said, forcing her voice to remain level: what do you want.Voss's pale eyes moved over her with something that might, on a different man, have looked like admiration. He said: the dead man's switch your associate built. I want it disabled, permanently, and I want your public assurance, filmed, distributed exactly as carefully as your original confession was, that everything published weeks ago was, in fact, fabricated. A retraction, Ms. Vega. Complete, public, and utterly convincing.Dutch, standing rigid beside Sloane, said: you want her to lie. Publicly. Permanently.Voss said: I want her to make a choice, Mr. Calloway, the same choice every person
Claimed By The Outlaw They Know You're Coming
The ride up the old mining road was brutal, switchbacks tightening with every mile, the dark pressing close on both sides, and Sloane held on to Colt with her heart hammering so hard she could feel it in her throat, counting minutes she had no way to actually measure, praying with a desperation she had not allowed herself in twenty-eight years of believing prayer for this particular man pointless.The processing facility emerged from the dark like a wound in the mountainside, rusted metal structures looming against the stars, a single dim light visible in what might once have been an administrative building, the rest of the site sunk in the particular deep silence of a place long abandoned by everyone except, now, the people who had chosen it specifically because nobody would think to look there.Colt cut the engine a half mile out, the rest of the convoy following suit, and they covered the remaining distance on foot, weapons ready, moving with the trained silence Sloane had come to
Claimed By The Outlaw He Never Gave Up
They made it back to the compound with the bikes' engines still hot and Sloane's hands still shaking, not from cold, and the gate had barely closed behind them before the war room filled again, this time with Elena Reyes wrapped in a blanket at the table, a mug of tea untouched in front of her, her eyes darting to every door and window with the particular hypervigilance of someone who had spent a very long time being watched.Dutch stood in the doorway staring at her like he was looking at a ghost, which, Sloane understood, in a sense, he was.He said, low: Marco.Elena looked up at him. She said: you're Dutch. He talked about you. Not often, and never when anyone else could hear, but he talked about you.Dutch's face did something complicated, grief and hope and a kind of guilt so old it had calcified into something else entirely. He said: he's alive. All this time. I told myself, I convinced myself, that even entertaining the idea he might have survived was a cruelty I couldn't put
Claimed By The Outlaw Elena Reyes
The ride to the lodge took eighteen minutes at a speed that made Sloane's heart hammer independent of the danger waiting at the end of it, the mountain road unspooling dark and fast beneath Colt's bike, her arms wrapped tight around his waist, the cold air roaring past them both.They approached the property from the access road Rafe had identified, bikes cutting engines a quarter mile out, the remaining distance covered on foot with the same trained silence Sloane had watched the brothers use at the warehouse weeks earlier, though this time she moved among them instead of waiting behind in a truck.Colt had not fought her on that point, not once, not on the ride, not in the final tense minutes of planning. Something between them had shifted permanently since the yard, since the switchback, since every night of danger they had faced together instead of apart, and she understood, moving low and quiet through the dark treeline beside him, that this was simply what trust looked like now.
Claimed By The Outlaw Someone Running
The war room crowded around Rafe's laptop, watching the newly active security feed with the specific dread of a plan potentially unraveling before it had even begun. The lodge, previously dark and quiet in the satellite stills, now blazed with light across every visible window, and figures, several of them, moved across the grounds with the brisk, purposeful urgency of people responding to an alarm.Colt said, tight: how.Rafe worked frantically, cross-referencing. He said: I don't think it's us. I don't think anyone told him we found the location. Look at the timestamp, this started six minutes ago, before Vivienne's phone call even ended, which means it can't be her, and none of the rest of us have made contact with anyone outside this room.Sloane felt something horrible settle into place. She said: what if it's not about us at all. What if something else triggered it.Emmett Cole, watching the feed with grim, focused attention, said: or someone else entirely is already there. Voss
Claimed By The Outlaw Everything She Did Not Say
She did not run.She wanted to. Every instinct she had spent the past two weeks sharpening told her to move, to be gone before that conversation in the parking lot ended, to be back in the truck and down the road before Colt came inside with whatever that man had told him about who she really was.
Claimed By The Outlaw The Job She Didn’t Ask For
She drove the truck around for an hour because she could.Not to go anywhere. Not toward Denver or Chicago or any point on a map that meant something. Just the mountain roads curving through pine trees with the windows down and the cold October air filling the cab. The engine ran smooth and quiet,
Claimed By The Outlaw Her Name In Someone Else’s File
Sloane stopped on the third step from the bottom.The woman at the bar had her back turned. She was maybe forty, dark hair pulled into a neat braid, and she was talking to Pearl in the low focused way of someone conducting an interview. The photograph was face up on the bar. Even from across the ro
Claimed By The Outlaw The Wrong Town At The Right Time
The truck broke down on a Tuesday, which felt exactly right.Tuesday was the kind of day that never promised anything good. Tuesdays were when your landlord called about the rent. Tuesdays were when doctors delivered the kind of news that rearranged your whole understanding of your life. Tuesdays h
