Page 71 of Redemption

“All zero,” Logan told him as he stared at the screen that showed the driveway in front of the house.

“Tac one, front to rear, disappear,”Talon ordered.

“What does that mean?” I asked Logan.

“It means keep going,” he explained.

I shook my head. I didn’t understand it much, keep going where?

“All clear, just package left,”Keys came on.“She’s not moving.”

I heard Jarret suck in a breath. They meant Glory wasn’t moving at all.

We could see on the screen from the camera Redemption wore I assumed, as the door opened. We could see two men dead on the floor. Then the camera moved over to the bed. It was Glory. Her image kept getting closer and closer. Then we could actually see her face.

Jarret moved closer to the screen as he looked tense.

On Redemption’s camera, we saw the gleam of something metal coming up close.

“I-is that a…” I thought it was some kind of knife.

“Glory?”Redemption asked over the speaker.

The knife then lowered.“Redemption?”a soft voice whispered.

“Yeah sis. It’s me,”Redemption replied.

“I-is he gone?”Glory asked in a shaky voice.

“Who?” Redemption asked. Then we heard a pause.“Yeah baby girl, he’s gone.”

The image got blurry and now we couldn’t see anything.

“What’s happening?” I asked.

“He’s got Glory,” Jarret replied in a trembling voice.

I breathed out slowly and whispered, “Thank God.” I kept watching the screen that was Redemption's body cam. We all watched as the blurry images moved while Redemption carried his sister. Then we could see her finally as she was sitting down. She looked upset and was saying something, but we couldn’t hear her.

Logan tapped another key or two on his keyboard. Now we could see the front and the men, and most importantly, Redemption. Logan zeroed in on him. He had blood running down his clothes.

I gasped. “What the hell!” I shouted in panic and grabbed the mic Logan had been using.“Redemption?”

“Yes, Cinnamon?”Redemption replied.

“You are bleeding!”I shouted.

“Baby, don’t yell. It’s just a nick.”

“Oh, yeah?”I snapped.“A nick is when I cut my leg shaving. Your shoulder is covered in blood!”

“He won’t listen!”Glory said over the comm.

“Ace, take that comm away from her,”Redemption ordered for Logan to get the mic I held.

I stepped back and glared at Logan as I replied to Redemption, “He can't, he likes his face just the way it is.”

Jarret snickered.
