that I would be more than happy to do without, I recently came upon some information saying that Rose is an unmated alpha female. Pure alpha.” He licks his lips. “I’m thinking she’d make the perfect mate.”
    I throw several low kicks, hoping to catch Legrand’s knee. I would really love to break it right now. He throws his elbow up at me and catches my jaw squarely in the middle.
    Shit.
    I see Rose and the guy that looks like Josh exit through the back doorway, but only seconds later the goons follow after them.
    “What do you plan to do with them?” I ask, hoping to keep him talking with the off chance that it will give me an opening, though it seems unlikely.
    “Well, once they’re captured, I’ll kill the suit first. I despise guys like that Josh. And Rose, I’ll take to a nice little penthouse suite I own a few blocks from here and make her mine. After that, I might even make her put in a good word with her father for me, see where that goes,” he says, as if his plan were completely logical and not at all insane.
    “You’re crazy. Just putting that out there,” I reply, wiping the blood from my battered jaw and wiping it on my shorts.
    “I’ve heard that before. The people who said it are now dead.” Legrand goes on the offensive, lunging for my core, probably hoping to knock the wind out of me. I try to put my training to use, keeping light on my feet and looking for an opening to retaliate, but I see none. The second I miss, his arms are up, defending the very place I’m attacking, as if he’s anticipating my every move.
    My back is next to the exit of the arena now. And even though it’s held with a chain and a small lock, I try to guess how long it would take me to rip the lock and bolt for Rose. Every second with this madman, something terrible could be happening to her, and I have to stop it. I have to.
    Legrand watches me, reading my expressions. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Don’t worry though, I’ve given strict instructions for her to not be harmed.” He throws a straight kick, which I’m able to absorb most of the impact with my forearms, but the force throws me into the cage behind me. I quickly sidestep, narrowly avoiding another powerful kick from Legrand which lands on the cage. He turns back to me. “So you’ll get to die knowing she was safe while you were still alive.”
    “Beep boop boop,” I say, imitating robot-like sounds. “All I hear is ‘I’m a psycho madman, please punch me in the face now’.”
    Legrand rushes at me, and I put up a block, anticipating a strike from him. But instead he lunges at me, bringing me to the ground. We shuffle, me trying to avoid being pinned, and he trying to move into an advantageous position. He’s fast, and still has a lot of strength left though, and he’s able to come on top of me and pin me down. I try to buck him off, but he has a good hold on me from where he’s at.
    “Joke all you want, Hawes. You’re just wasting breath. And you’re down to about thirty seconds.”
    I’m coming, Rose. I just have to kill this asshole first. I’m just not sure how to do that yet.
    And at this rate, Legrand might not be wrong about how much time I have left.

    “ M ission abort . I want you out of here, now.” I hear Josh speaking over his headset to the other agents that were with us at the fight.
    “What are you saying?” I ask Josh, not wanting to hear the answer.
    “We have to get out of here, now. None of us are safe,” he replies.
    “But what about Hawes?”
    “I can’t risk a whole team of agents in the off-chance that we might be able to do something for him. Once the team is out I’ll…figure out something.”
    It’s cold, but the harsh reality of the matter is that Hawes is locked in a cage with Legrand, and none of us could get him out if we wanted to. I just want so badly to help him right now. I feel like all of this is my fault. If only I hadn’t…
    “This way,” Josh says, opening up
