Chapter 156

ZAIN GRIPPED HIS GUN and crept closer to the house. Gavin was giving him the play by play of the live cast happening in the house. Max would be there any minute with SWAT, but it might not be soon enough. The situation had escalated so much that one second might be too long to wait.

"Crystal's sitting, she's talking now. I...don't know what she's saying, and I can't see Andrea. She's...Crystal's got a syringe of something and I think-God damn it. She just injected herself with-holy shit! That cat just launched itself off-camera!"

October?

He could hear a muted shout, the sound of a man yelling.

It had to be October.

That attack cat was better than a dog.

"I'm going in the house," he muttered.

Zain unlocked the kitchen door and pushed it open to the sound of hissing and loud cursing. Two other cats stood just inside the door, a little agitated, their tails poofed out.

"Shhh," he whispered and stepped over them.
