Havoc

The comm goes quiet.

Too quiet.

“Trigger?” I say.

No answer.

My grip tightens on the radio.

“Trigger, report.”

Static.

Then—

“They’re secure.”

The breath I’ve been holding finally leaves my chest.

Not completely.

But enough.

“Status?” I ask.

“Two down. One fled. Sheriff’s on scene.”

I close my eyes for half a second.

Two down.

Which means they didn’t come to scare.

They came to take.

“And Aspen?” I ask.

The name comes out before I can stop it.

A pause.

Too long.

“Shaken,” Trigger says finally.

“But she held it together.”

Of course she did.

That’s who she is.

“And Dylan?”
