Page 80 of The Hero She Loves

He looked up and saw Vander and the others running toward him.

“Olson’s here.”Where was Jenna?He scanned the docks and didn’t see her. “Jenna!”

Then he saw something at the end of the dock she’d been searching. He picked up speed and moved into a jog.

He stopped at the end of the dock.No.

It was her gun.

Vander and the others arrived. Park snatched up her Glock, his chest feeling like it was filled with concrete.

He scanned around the harbor. “Olson has Jenna.”

There was a roar of an engine. Park spun and saw a boat speeding away from the dock.

“Hey!” a man yelled from nearby. “Someone stole my boat.”

Olson had Jenna and he was making a run for it.

“We have to stop him,” Park growled. “Now!”

Hold on, Jenna. I’m coming for you.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Park couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t focus.

“Olson has Jenna. They’re on that boat.”

Vander cursed. “We need a boat.”

“I’m on it,” Ren said, jogging off toward the harbormaster’s office.

It would take too long. Olson would hurt Jenna, or worse. Park turned and ran down the dock.

“Park!” Vander bellowed.

“I’m going to get my woman back.” Park pulled his phone out and stabbed at the button. He held it to his ear.

“Deputy Marshal Briggs.”

“Owen. Olson’s got Jenna. He stole a boat.”

“Fuck,” Owen said.

“We have to get to her. We need the helo.”

“I’ll get it. Where are you?”

“At the harbor. Pick me up at the waterfront.”

“Be ready. I’m on my way.”

The minutes ticked by, and it felt like a fucking eternity. Then, Park heard the familiarthumpof rotor blades.

He looked up and the blue-and-white State Trooper helicopter came into view. It swept in low over the town.

The wind battered him as it lowered toward the street in front of him. The downdraft flattened his shirt to his body.
