Sebastian began securing the rope around Logan.
Just as he was about to tighten the knot, Logan suddenly stumbled forward, crashing his entire body weight into Sebastian.
A massive wave hit the boat at the exact same moment, throwing Sebastian off balance.
Sterling's instincts flared. He instinctively moved his gun away from Sloane's head and aimed it at Logan.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Before the words fully left his mouth, his arm jerked violently.
The metallic scent of blood filled the air as half of Sterling's arm exploded, spraying across the deck.
Sloane gasped in horror.
Several drops of warm blood splattered across her face.
Before she could process what was happening, a deafening crack echoed, and a massive hole blew open in Sterling's chest.
Blood erupted from the fatal wound.
Sloane's legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the deck.
He was dead!
Witnessing a brutal execution was infinitely more terrifying than examining a corpse or stitching a wound.
She forced herself to take deep, gasping breaths just to keep from passing out.
Her eyes frantically searched for Logan.
Even with his upper body partially bound, Logan's legs moved with lethal precision.
Seeing his partner dead, Sebastian roared, "No!"
Fueled by rage, he drew a combat knife from his boot and lunged at Logan. Though Logan braced for the attack, the ropes restricted his movement, preventing him from fully evading.
The blade sliced across his arm.
Sloane screamed in terror, "Logan!"
The sound drew Sebastian's bloodshot eyes toward her.
He realized these two meant something to each other.
Logan killed his brother, so he would kill his woman!
Sebastian charged at Sloane with the knife.
But he never got the chance.
