for each other. I know you would be by my side if I had a woman and she was in danger.”
Hudson nodded. Emotions overwhelmed him. He held onto the door as Casanova took the corner and they all slid to the side. Casanova didn’t slow down. He pressed his foot to the gas and weaved through traffic.
“Everyone carrying?” he asked.
The response in the car was “Fuck yeah.”
“Xavier and his team are at the house,” Cy announced from the front of the car. Hudson leaned forward, but the grainy picture was hard to see. Meanwhile, Casanova drove like a bat out of hell.
“Is everyone at the house okay?” Hudson asked.
When Cy didn’t respond, Hudson’s stomach dropped. He would lose his mind if anything happened to Siena. She was his world. Mia needed her mother as much as he did. She made his dark world not seem so dark anymore. She gave him something other than a mission to look forward to.
“Xavier's team is doing a search,” Cy finally said. “Two ambulances on the scene and six cop cars. The cops are going house to house while Xavier’s people fan out.”
Hudson wasn’t going to let the worst-case scenario fill his mind.
“Has anyone come out of the house?” Hudson asked.
“No movement.”
The SUV came to a grinding halt a block away from Angel’s house. Cops lined the streets, directing people the other way. Two police cars blocked the road. Hudson jumped out of the SUV, not bothering to close the door, and sprinted toward Angel’s house.
A cop ran and stopped him. “This is an active crime scene. I’m going to need you to stay back until everything is clear.”
“The active scene is at my house,” Hudson growled.
He wasn’t going to say it was at a friend’s house. That would take longer to explain.
“And you need to let us do our job.”
Hudson reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and dialed Xavier.
“What?” Xavier asked.
“Is this your scene or the cops’?”
“Mine.”
Hudson put the phone on speaker. “Then tell the cops to let us through, or I’m not going to be able to keep the promise I gave Commander. I’ll go to jail if he doesn’t let me through.”
Xavier sighed. “Let them through.”
Hudson didn’t wait for any more confirmation. He moved to the side and took off at a dead sprint toward the house. Xavier was standing on the lawn with his phone in his hand. Yara was the only person on the steps outside. She had tears running down her face. Doc ran to her and wrapped her in a hug.
“Is Mia and Siena in there?” Hudson asked.
“Siena is in the house. Mia is with Sidney.” Xavier sighed but grabbed his arm before he could take another step. “You need to let the paramedics do their job. If you can’t agree with that, you need to stay the fuck out here.”
Siena was hurt, she needed him, and nothing would stand in his way. Hudson ripped his arm out of Xavier’s grip and walked into the house. His blood ran cold when he saw a petite body with a blanket over it. He let out a sigh when he noticed that the hair hanging over to the side was black.
Angel leaned against the wall with a man shining a light in her eyes. Siena was on the floor with two paramedics working on her. They lifted her onto the gurney. And that was when Hudson noticed blood. So much blood on the floor. When he took a step forward, arms encircled his waist, pulling him back.
“Let me go,” he croaked.
“We need to let the paramedics do their job.”
Hudson nodded and waited for Doc’s grip to release a bit. Then he pushed his teammate down and went to Siena’s side, walking with the paramedics as they wheeled her out of the house. Her eyes were closed, her skin was stark white, and her light-pink shirt was stained with blood. His vision blurred as they put the gurney into the back of the ambulance.
“You can’t come with her, sir.” The paramedic turned back to Siena. The machines she was hooked up to beeped like crazy. “We’re losing her.”
Hudson tried to lunge forward, but an arm wrapped around him again. “You need to let them do their job,” Xavier said. “I’ll drive you to the hospital.”

“Shouldn’t they have given us an update by now?” Hudson glared toward the nurse's station.
He knew it wasn’t their fault he hadn’t gotten an update. No matter how frustrated he was, he wouldn’t take
