would not use you. And I will be sure to tell everyone I know just what sort of person you are and how you treat your employees. Ms. Harm, I look forward to hearing from you now that we have it established you are a free agent.
    Maddy hung up the phone as soon as Colin did and made a dash to her little dungeon, hoping to get out of the building before Mr. Button had a chance to corner her. She didn’t make it. She was just picking up her bag and turning when he was right there. His hard slap across her face knocked her backward. She hit her head on the corner of her table as she was going down blackness engulfed her.

Chapter Four
    “I’m telling you, you should have heard him, Aaron. He talked to her like she was trash, way beneath him. And the language he used…well hell Aaron, it made me blush to know she was listening.”
    Colin had been talking about nothing else since he’d gotten off the phone with Maddy.
    He couldn't abide by them being mistreated, verbally or physically. He loved women all women.
    But he especially loved Shade, his mate.
    “How did she take it, lose her temper? I would have, I’d of gone right into his office and cut his dick off.” Sam, Tucker’s mate could be a little, well let’s just say she didn’t have a lot of love for abusive men, women either. She was a part of a large underground system that helped get abused spouses out of their homes and into safer areas. She’d been doing it for years, simply using the bakery as a front.
    “Nah, if anything she seemed to think it was funny. I could hear her trying her best not to laugh. She’s a gutsy little thing. She’s supposed to come by tomorrow night sometime after six. I hope you don’t mind, but I’m having her meet me here. She said she had a very bad sense of direction and she’d been here before.”
    “No, that’s great as a matter of fact. There are a few things I’d like to ask her about anyway. Kyle will be here tomorrow too, but I don’t expect him until after midnight.” Aaron mentally rubbed his hands together. He and Colin needed her help and if Bradley and Kyle were in, they had one hell of a deal for the girl and for themselves.

    ‘Turn right at the next stop sign and poof, I should be there, ha!! I said that ten minutes ago. You’d think a house that friggin big would be easy to find, especially since I’ve been there before! But oh no, not for me. Sheesh, Maddy you really could get lost in your own bathroom without a map.’
    She still hurt from what Button had done to her last night. She had woke up this morning on the same floor where he’d left her, covered in blood, her blood, and sore as hell. Today her left eye was black all the way down her cheek and her jaw was bruised as well, knowing tomorrow and the next day she be sorer didn’t help. She also had a knot the size of a golf ball on the other side of her head that hurt so bad she had left her hair down because pulling it into a pony tail had hurt too badly.
    She saw the blur of movement about ten seconds before she hit it. Or it hit her. The car slammed to a stop and jolted her so badly she hit the window with her sore face. This time her nose bloodied as well.
    She staggered out of the car and limped over to the heap of dark clothes. It was big friggin heap of clothes too. She knew it was going to have a body in there somewhere and the way her luck was running, she killed the body too. She started reach out and touch when he moaned. She knew it was a male because unless there was something seriously wrong with this woman’s vocal cords and she’d been on steroids for, well years, then she was a guy. Well, she thought, at least I didn’t kill him, yet.
    She fell to her knees beside him, not caring what she was doing to her pants. They were covered in blood anyway. Her shirt was ruined as well; blood from her nose marred the front of it. Her hand had just touched his shoulder when he turned and grabbed her wrist in a tight hold.
    “Hey,
