Chapter 13 - The Night of FireThe clubhouse erupted into gunfire.
Glass exploded.
Engines roared.
Men scattered into the darkness.
Tank grabbed Lily and pushed her toward the underground tunnel beneath the building.
“Stay with me.”
She held his hand.
“I’m not afraid.”
Tank looked at her.
“I am.”
She squeezed his fingers.
“Then don't let go.”
Behind them, flames climbed the walls.
The building Tank had once called home was burning.
But for the first time, he understood.
Home wasn't the clubhouse.
Home wasn't the past.
Home was the little girl running beside him.
Tank carried Lily through smoke and darkness until they reached the other side.
Then he turned back.
Cole was still inside.

Tank went back for him.
Because despite everything, some bonds were not so easily destroyed.
