| wasn't just asking him to rescue Jace | was trying to remind him to watch out for Bruno, too.
"Sendthe location," Hayden said, then hung up.
| froze for a few seconds. Then | pulled up our chatand forward him the location pin. After hitting send, |
found myself just... staring at our last conversation, and my chest felt tight.
I quickly closed the chat, but of course, my phone rang a second later. It was Steve.
My heart did this weird flip, and | felt this sting behind my eyes. | wasn't even sure what | was feeling, but it
wasn't good.
| took a deep breath and answered. "Hello?"
"Are you sure Jace was taken by Bruno?" Steve's voice sounded like he was on edge, too.
| gave him the quick version of what went down. "Yeah, he was getting beaten up-definitely Bruno. And Hernan
mentioned a mastermind behind all this." "Mastermind?" Steve sounded surprised.
"Yeah. | thought maybe it was Jace, but now that he's been kidnapped by Bruno... it's obviously not him." | felt
that stab of guilt in my chest as I said it.
Jace and | had broken up. He'd hurt me, yeah, betrayed my trust. But he hadn't done anything that bad, right? I'd
even let him helpbefore. And still, I'd assumed the worst of him. Now, | felt like a jerk for thinking he could
be behind something so shady.
"Got it. I'll update Hayden," Steve said. From the tone of his voice, it was clear Hayden was the one calling the

"Please hurry. Get Jace out of there," | begged, my worry spiking. Bruno could seriously hurt him.
After all, Jace wasn't just anyone-he couldn't afford to lose blood.
"I know. Don't worry, we've got this. But you need to stay put. Don't let Bruno find you-it'll mess everything up,"
Steve warned.
"Okay, | understand." As soon as | agreed, he hung up.
| tossed my phone onto the couch, letting out a breath didn't know | was holding. The silence in the
room felt way too loud. Every tick of the clock made my anxiety worse.
But there was nothing | could do. I didn't even know who to call for help.
How much thad passed? A few minutes? Hours? | didn't know. My phone buzzed, snappingout of my
thoughts. An unknown number. Great. | hated unknown callers. It was like my gut was telling
me
hang up, but | couldn't.
"Hello?"
