Exposed (MAC Security 2)

“You fuckin’ bitch!” I screamed as I lunged at her. There was no stopping me, my hand flew out and slapped her, the sound echoing throughout the room.

Gasping, she turned to me, her arm moving out in a pathetic attempt to hit me back. I was faster than her though. I’d trained with all the guys, and even though I didn’t have my full strength, I knew that I could take her down. I opened my palm, my hand coming up and hitting her nose. Blood sprayed everywhere as she screamed for help. I didn’t stop though, I took her down to the floor and was just about to hit her again when I was lifted off her and dragged to the other side of the room.

I was raging, the anger uncontrollable. She was bat shit crazy if she thought that was a valid reason for aborting a baby.

Max came forward, bending down and checking on her before turning his angry eyes to me. “Take her back,” he growled at the brute who had a hold of me.

He dragged me out of the room, another man appearing out of nowhere and walking with us. Once I was away from her, I started to calm down. This would be my only chance to get out of this place, there was no way that I’d be allowed out of this room again after what I’d just done.

Once he’d swiped his card and we went through the doors, I started to struggle in his arms. He lost concentration and tried to restrain me so I dipped my hand into his pocket, pulling out his card.

He threw me into the room when we came to the door and slammed it shut behind me. I landed on my hands and knees, and lifting my head, I was relieved to find Lindsey and Ava sat together.

We all sat there and waited over two hours for Corey’s contact to turn up. He’d apparently refused to meet anywhere but a secure place. We were all on edge at the prospect of actually finding Kay today.

Corey was pacing back and forth and had been for the last hour, mumbling to himself.

“Will you just sit down?” Evan asked. “You’re making me dizzy!” He moaned, holding his hand to his head and looking away.

“Don’t look at me then,” he growled.

“Chill the hell out Corey and sit down.” I said in a tone that meant he wouldn’t argue. He was making us all even more on edge. What we needed was to all calm down and get it together. We couldn’t do this if none of us were ready for what we could be walking into.

As soon as he sat down, he pulled his cell out and jumped back up. “He’s here.”

We all stayed where we were and waited while Corey met him outside. We’d discussed it and we’d come to the conclusion that it was best for Corey to meet him at the gate and escort him in.

I didn’t know this guy from Adam, and if Corey said that he was incognito then he could be bringing some real danger with him. Danger that we didn’t need, or want.

I blew out a breath and held my head in my hands, I was so tired, tired of all this but mainly I was frustrated at not having Kay beside me.

The sound of the door opening had me lifting my head. I could hear Corey saying something to him, but couldn’t quite make out what it was.

As soon as I saw who it was though, I shot out of my chair.

“What the fuck are you doing here!” I ran at him; it was all his fault. He was the one behind all of this, what the hell was Corey thinking letting him onto the compound?

“Whoa! Ty, calm the fuck down,” Corey said, jumping into my path and holding his hands out.

“That’s the fucker who’s been taking the girls!” I shouted. The rage bubbling inside me, I could practically feel my whole body shaking from it. Made even worse by the calm that he exuded back at me.

“I think we need to sit down and discuss a few things.” He pulled the sleeves of his suit down and looked around. “You have an office?”

His eyes met mine and I was flummoxed at how calm he was. This wasn’t the person that I had met a few months ago, this was a completely different version. Before I could answer him, Corey waved his hand in the air and showed him to the office while I stood staring at their backs, wondering what the hell was going on.

“What the hell?” Evan murmured beside me.

I nodded at him, thinking exactly the same thing. Stomping after them, I slammed my office door shut and sat behind my desk. “Explain,” I gritted out.

“Well…” He leaned forward. “Shall we start at the beginning?” I raised a brow at him in answer, waiting for him to explain.

“I was brought here to investigate the disappearance of some girls. Which you probably know all about, seeing as you’ve been following me.” He raised a brow but I didn’t answer him. “My name isn’t Daley, and I’m not the one who has been taking the girls.” He paused and leaned back. “That would be your wife.”

“Serena?” I leaned forward. My head was spinning with this information. I tapped my fingers on the desk, trying to stay calm. Kay had tried to tell me, time and time again that she didn’t trust her, that there was something about her. Why hadn’t I listened? Why had I just assumed she was jealous?

Kay wasn’t the jealous type. I should’ve known that.

Scrubbing my hands over my face, I thought back to the last couple of months. I’d let Serena into the compound, she’d seen that we thought it was Daley. She’d known what we had going on here. She never did have anything for us, she was looking for information. How had I been so stupid?
