Halfway there, Vince’s phone rang.

The second he answered, his face changed completely. He yanked the steering wheel hard and took off in the opposite direction.

“What’s wrong?” Riley asked.

“Cynthia’s been kidnapped. Zane’s on his way to the drop point with the ransom money right now,” Vince said.

“What?” Riley’s mind went blank. “Do you know where the drop point is?”

“Yeah, I know,” Vince said. He might be from Washington, but he had connections here in Germany too, and he’d made sure to plant someone close to Zane.

He floored it, and the car shot toward their destination.

Riley’s face was tight with worry.

She’d just found Samuel. He couldn’t be in danger again. He just couldn’t.

“Don’t panic. From what I heard, Zane called the cops. He’s going alone to get her back, but the police are tailing him,” Vince said, trying to calm her down.

But that didn’t guarantee safety. Germany allowed guns, and kidnapping gangs were a real problem here. She’d almost lost Samuel once already. She couldn’t lose him again.

They pulled up near the ransom drop site fast, and Riley pulled a gun from under the seat. After arriving in Germany, she and Vince had gotten a couple of guns just in case. Looked like they were going to need them.

“Stay in the car. I’m going to check things out,” Riley said.

Vince grabbed her arm. “I’m coming with you.”

“You stay here. I’ll go,” Riley said firmly. “He’s my brother. I need to protect him. But you don’t have to put yourself at risk.”

“If you’re protecting your brother, then I’m protecting you,” Vince shot back. “Besides, we work better as a team. We’ve always had each other’s backs. It’s safer if we go together.”

Right then, gunshots rang out in the distance. Not just one- several, rapid–fire.

Riley’s head snapped up, and she was out of the car in a flash. She moved fast, using whatever cover she could find as she 2/6

headed toward the gunfire.

Vince was right behind her.

“Stay safe,” Riley called back to him. “If things go south, get out of there immediately.”

“Got it,” Vince said.

But he knew the truth. If things went south, his priority was keeping her safe. Even if he used to be her team captain. Even if it meant disobeying her orders.

More gunshots echoed through the area.

When Riley finally spotted Zane, bodies were already scattered everywhere–some in police uniforms, some in regular clothes. The kidnappers.

Right now, a group of kidnappers had Zane surrounded.

Cynthia was hiding behind him, her hair a mess and her face frozen in terror.

“Zane, you—you can’t leave me behind! Don’t forget, I’m the real Lincoln here!” Cynthia clung to his arm, her voice shrill with panic.

Zane’s jaw tightened. 3/6

If Cynthia hadn’t been stupid enough to piss off the kidnappers earlier, he and the police would’ve had her out of there already.

And she’d somehow managed to turn everything into the worst possible scenario, which is how they’d ended up in this mess.

The kidnappers had completely lost it.

There were four of them, and Zane only had one gun, but the bigger problem was that he couldn’t die. If he died, Lina wouldn’t get the financial backing she needed from the Lincoln family, and there was no way she’d get proper treatment then.

The kidnappers were closing in, and backup hadn’t arrived yet. Zane’s grip tightened on his gun.

Suddenly, two of the kidnappers grunted and dropped to the ground.

Zane looked up, startled, and saw Riley and Vince.

“What are you—‘

“We’ll talk later. Let’s get out of here first,” Riley said.

More gunshots rang out. Riley and Vince returned fire in perfect sync, and Cynthia clutched at Zane’s arm with a terrified look on her face. “You have to protect me! If

something happens to me, Lina’s dead too!”

Zane urged, “Let go of my arm. If you keep—”

“My stem cells are a half–match with Lina’s,” Cynthia said quickly. “As long as I’m okay, I can donate to her.”

“What?” Zane stared at her in shock.

A split second later, instinct kicked in, and his body tensed. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught movement–one of the kidnappers raising a gun in their direction.

But Cynthia was still clinging to his right arm, the one holding his gun.

Zane quickly switched the gun to his left and fired at the kidnapper, but at the same time, the guy’s bullet was already heading straight for them.

There was no time to dodge.

And worse, he couldn’t let anything happen to Cynthia.

Without thinking, Zane pulled Cynthia against him, ready to use his own body as a shield.

But the pain he was expecting never came. Instead, he heard a man’s voice screaming, “Rye!”

In that instant, Zane seemed to realize something. He whipped his head around.

His eyes went wide. Riley was standing in front of him, and a dark red stain was spreading across the white shirt on her shoulder.
