Raze shoved at my hands, but I didn’t release him.
“And now she’s gone,” I snarled.“Gone—because you couldn’t fucking protect her.”
Something flickered across his face.Something that looked and felt a lot like guilt.
“Where is she?”I demanded, dragging him forward again like I could shake the answer out of him.“Where the fuck is she, Raze?”
“We’re working on it?—”
“That’s not good enough!”
The words ripped through the room.
I slammed him back into the wall again, harder this time, my control splintering.
“If anything happens to her,” I said, low now—deadly, final, “I won’t wait for anyone else to handle it.”
His jaw tightened.
“I’ll kill you myself.”
The silence that followed was absolute.The fact that I had come this far, walked into the Cavalho stronghold, and literally had my hands wrapped around Raze’s neck, spoke volumes.
Raze just… took it.Contrition sat there, ugly and unfamiliar on his face.
“Who told you?”he asked.
The question came out sharp, redirected, his gaze snapping past me.
Gianni didn’t hesitate.
“I did.”
Raze’s eyes cut to him, fury reigniting.“You had no right?—”
“I hadeveryright,” Gianni shot back, stepping forward.“Because oursisteris missing.”
“That doesn’t mean you bring him into this?—”
“It means I bring in every resource we have,” Gianni snapped.“Every contact.Every man.Every fucking advantage to find her.”
Raze’s fists clenched.
Gianni didn’t back down.
“The more people we have on this, the faster we find her,” he continued, voice steady, unflinching.“And no one—no one—is as invested in finding Tone as he is.”
Silence stretched.Raze’s gaze flicked back to me, then slowly moved away.
He didn’t argue.
I released him, shoving him off me hard enough to make my point, and turned toward the table.
“Tell me what you know.”
Atlas stepped in then, calm where the rest of us weren’t.Controlled.Dangerous in a different way.
“She left a doctor’s office,” he said.“Front was covered.Back wasn’t.”
