Lucian's POV
The sirens exploded right outside the warehouse walls,the red and blue lights of their vans slashing through the high, narrow windows of the warehouse.
My heart began to but unsteadily fast due to panic hit, but I advised myself against such weakness and crushed it.
"Mike—grab Victor! Back door! Now!"
Mike was already moving. He hauled Victor up by the arm, sliced the zip ties in one motion with his knife and dragged the stumbling man toward the rear exit. Victor's legs buckled as gasped for air but Mike paid no heed to his frail body.
"Drag that bastard through the floor if you have to!" I barked again.
Mike didn't hold back. He shoved Victor through the rusted metal door,Victor stumbled into the alley, Mike right behind him,then he clanged the door shut.
As I turned toward the front entrance,the front door crashed open.
"Police! Keep your hands where I can see them!"
