Heart of Danger by Capri Montgomery Read Free Book Online

did that happen?” Micah wanted to hear the other end of that conversation so badly. He saw Preston and Jet leave their chairs to stand at the door to their offices. “Well where the hell is she? What do you mean you don’t Know?” He was near irate. “What the fuck do you know?” There was silence until Alex slammed the phone down onto the receiver.
     
    “What the hell is going on, Alex?” Micah couldn’t wait for the man’s temper to settle. He needed answers now or he might just lose his mind.
     
    “Natalia’s been abducted. At least they think she’s still alive since they didn’t find her body with the rest of them.”
     
    “Whoa!” Preston nearly stomped into the reception area. “What do you mean the rest of them?”
     
    “Ten person tour, plus the guide. They found ten bodies because a hiker was out exploring and got lost. When he found his way back to civilization he alerted the authorities. Ten bodies, including Kelly, but not Natalia. She was the only black woman in the group so that’s how they knew she wasn’t among the victims.”
     
    “Back up, why are they all dead?”
     
    Alex shrugged. “They don’t know, but they think it could have been drug runners tied to the Colombia cartel they’ve been having some trouble with lately.”
     
    “Shit,” Micah barked.
     
    “They don’t even know if she’s still alive,” Alex knocked the pencil holder off his desk. “Guys, we’ve found a lot of people. We’ve gone out there for money and brought people home now I’m telling you we’re going out there for her. We are bringing her home alive.”
     
    Alex didn’t need to tell them that. There was no way they would sit back and wait for somebody else to make this right. “I’ll call my contacts.” Micah knew exactly who he could call regarding the Colombian angle. If something was going down this guy would know where, when, who and how it was going to be playing out. He was too good not to know.
     
    “I’ll have the jet gassed up,” Jet nodded.
     
    “I’ll get the big guns,” Preston chimed in. “Alex, get the scopes. We’re going in hot and we’re not leaving until we have our girl. We’re bringing her home. We’re bringing her home alive.”
     
    Micah felt his heart pounding in his chest. The longer it took them to gather information, the longer she would be in captivity. Men like that didn’t take without plundering. They were ruthless and they had his woman. No, she wasn’t his. Why he felt this sudden possessive streak towards her was a mystery to him, yet he felt it to his core. If the bastards had harmed her he was going to shoot off their testicles and then put a bullet in their head. “How long ago?” He needed to know how much time they had lost.
     
    “Two days. They think it happened on the first day of their tour because they found the jeep at the docking point from where they were supposed to hike in to the camp ground. Thing is, the camp ground was ten klicks south of where the bodies were found.”
     
    “Damn,” Micah shoved his hand through his hair. Two days was too much time.
     
    “We’ll get her back.” Jet tried to soothe his temper; to soothe all of their tempers. They needed to stay calm and focused. Usually they could do both, but this time it was personal.
     
    “Damn straight,” Micah agreed. “We’ll get her back, but make no mistake about it; the Natalia we bring home won’t be the Natalia who went away for a week to help her friend.”
     
    “I know,” Preston admitted. “She’s going to need all of us. We’ll deal with that road when we come to it, but right now our first priority has to be getting our girl back. Agreed?”
     
    “Agreed,” they all said in unison.
     
    This wasn’t just another mission to bring a package home; this was Natalia. She wasn’t a package she was a friend. This, this journey into the heart of danger, was going to be their most important search and rescue mission ever. “Let’s get
