Kai’s alive. And Rowan Evan’s men now have her, just as planned. Thank f**k. “They have her,” I say, ending the call as I look at Langston and Zeke. Westcott enters my office a second later. “Is she?” Even Westcott is worried about Kai. “She’s safe.” Westcott nods. “Do you need anything, sir?” Langston glares at me, ensuring that I do what I must instead of what I want to do. “Yes, have my car brought around.” Westcott nods and then leaves. The plan is for me to be seen at Surrender—as publicly as possible for the next hour or so. So that when Milo tries to figure out where Kai is, he won’t suspect I took her. He will put all of the blame on Rowan. It’s going to kill me and be absolute torture to not be here when Kai returns, but it will be safer for her if Milo doesn’t
