I’m nervous as hell, though I won’t admit that to the others. Jax has a plan in place. Now, to clue everyone in.

I go into the living room, cupping my hands around my mouth. “Everyone—living room, now!”

They all file in. Their faces look nervous, yet determined. I pull out my phone. “We are video conferencing with Jax,” I explain, before I hit dial. He picks up immediately. He's in the computer lab, with Thor and Bill.

“Alright, listen up. This is what we’ve come up with. First thing first, you all need to get out of that dorm. I hope you’re all packed and ready.” Jax tells us.

A chorus of yeses answer him. “Good. Now, using the attached courtyard, make your way into the admin building. Make sure you’re not noticed. Go to the art hallway, then out the door at the end. The reason for this is because where I'll be waiting is closer to that exit.” He pauses, looking at all of us, then nods to himself. “After this, you’ll need to split up. I want four of you to meet me at the car I'll have waiting. The rest will head to The Morgue to get the prisoners there out. Please make your choices of who goes where now.”

I take over on this. “I’ve thought this through. Trikk, Valley, Frost, and me will go to the car. Trikk isn’t used to as much violence as the rest. Valley needs to stay safe, and Frost is the calm one who will make sure you get there efficiently, and safely. So, Phoenyxx, Synn, Purge, Razor, and Ghost will go to The Morgue.

Frost nods. “It makes sense. I've got their backs.”

“Good.” I address Jax. “We’re ready for the next steps.”

Jax pulls out a drawn map, spreading it out on the desk in front of Thor and Bill. “Alright, this is where I’ll be waiting.” He points to a spot on the map, close to where I met him when Pretty Girl followed me. “This is the route to The Morgue, and back to the car. Thor and Bill here will be looping all the camera feeds and turning off the power to the fence. You will have fifteen minutes to get in, get who you want out, and away.”

He points to a representation of the building The Morgue is in. “We don’t have any idea on the layout in there, unfortunately. Phoenyxx, you’ll have to lead the best you can. Now, the door here is the entrance and the exit both. Once you’re all out, you’ll skirt the tree line here, then it’ll be a straight shot to the car. Any questions?”

Synn speaks up. “Weapons?”

“Harris has guns for everyone, and Phoenyxx, you still have your knives?”

“Hell yeah, I do. I will cut every bitch that gets in our way!”

Valley giggles.

“Good to hear,” Jax responds. “From my intel, you have enough to distribute them between those of you going to The Morgue?”

“Yes, I have at least six,” she says, brows down in a frown as she thinks. “The switchblade, the hunting knives, the dagger, and three other various size blades.”

“Excellent. Harris—you grabbed a screenshot of the map?”

“Of course. I'll text it to everyone.” I quickly shoot off the map to everyone. “You all get it?”

They all answer affirmatively.

“Grab your bags, guys. One bag each. We can’t be trying to carry too much.”

“That’s all,” Jax tells them. “Remember: Purge's father is on the property. Avoid him at all costs. Good luck.”

He disconnects, and I turn to everyone. It's up to me to be the group leader. I can’t—and won’t—let Pretty Girl down. “Okay, say goodbye to this dorm, and this fucking place. Jax will be in place in about fifteen minutes. He'll be texting when the feeds are looped, and the fence disconnected. It'll be fully dark by then, so we’ll go undetected easier.”

I take a breath, as murmurs volley between everyone, hugs and words of encouragement going around.

Chapter 39

Phoenyxx

My heart isabout to pound its way out of my chest. Not only do I need to make sure everyone is safe, but I’ll also have the extra responsibility of getting Bryan, 3, and 6 all out with us.

I'm anxiously awaiting the text from Jax. This is the longest fifteen minutes ever.

The guys sidle up close to me. “Pazessca, can we discuss the revenge?”

I raise my brows, stifling a giggle. I must admit-that shit was satisfying!

“What was going through your mind, Malishka?” Ghost asks in a quiet voice.
