fainter in the distance. It was narrow and damp at this point in the cavern. Drips of water slid down the sides of the cave and dropped into her hair.
"Where are you taking me?"
"I’m taking you where no one will find you," he said.
"You have to stop, Justin. You can't keep doing this."
"There's only one way that this ends, little sister," Justin sneered. "And that's with both of us dead."
Lola started to scream for help at the top of her lungs. Her voice reverberated through the caverns, but Justin grabbed her and covered her mouth. She tried to bite him, but he only held her tighter. She was forced to walk backwards and be drug across the uneven surface of the cave floor.
She knew that he had a pistol. He was going to kill them both. Fear coursed through her body, pulsing through her veins. She lost all her strength and began to weep. Justin just dragged her more roughly through the jagged spikes on the floor of the cave.
She could barely breathe under his hand and she was violently sobbing. She jammed her arm backwards and punched her elbow into his crotch. He groaned and doubled over. Lola skidded away, trying to run in the direction they'd come. But Justin righted himself and grabbed her before she could run three steps. She screamed out for help again, but this time he punched her and darkness fell. The last thing she remembered was praying that Gauge would find her.

G auge hurried through the cavern , trying to pick up Lola’s scent. The gunfire popped behind him and echoed through the cavern. He heard a shrill scream up ahead and knew that it was Lola.
He hurried on, trying to catch up with them. If Justin Lockheart did anything to his mate, he wouldn't be responsible for what he did to the man. His inner bear was pushing to come out, but Gauge knew that he was better off in human form. Justin was armed and the best defense against an armed assailant was being armed himself.
He carried his glock in one hand and the Maglite in the other, carefully sliding along the cavern wall. Lola’s scent grew stronger, and he could make out the faint sound of voices ahead of him in the distance. He heard another scream and then the crack of a fist on the flesh. That psycho had just hit his mate!
Gauge roared, barely able to stay in human form. He jumped into a sprint, barreling down the length of the cavern until he came to a sharp turn. He glanced around the corner, seeing Justin standing over Lola's limp form that lay sprawled across the rocky floor.
Justin held his gun pointed at Lola's head. Gauge shot around the corner and pulled the trigger on his Glock, the bullet flying through the air and shooting the gun out of Justin Lockheart's hand.
Justin's gun went flying and Gauge barreled toward him, knocking him on the ground. Gauge pulled the handcuffs out of his back pocket and fastened them around Justin’s wrists.
"You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent…" Gauge said, reading Justin his rights.
He didn't believe the man should be given any rights, but Gauge believed in the law. He was a police officer. He was doing his duty just like he had when he was in the military.
His mission was to protect innocent people who could not protect themselves. That meant upholding the social contracts that society had agreed upon. That meant all criminals had a right to a trial and to understand why they were under arrest in the first place.
"Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law."
As soon as Gauge had handcuffed Justin and read him his rights he turned him over and punched him in the face, knocking him out cold.
Then he stood and hurried to Lola, turning her over to face him. Her thick black hair was smashed over her face, and it looked as if she had a black eye.
He put his fingers to her throat, feeling her pulse. It was strong, just like her. He carefully picked her up, grabbed the headlamp off of Justin's head, and carried Lola out of the cavern. The gunfire at
