If you like music while you read, try "Whose Side Are You On?" by Tommee Profitt and Ruelle. It's what I listened to while writing these chapters!

~ SASHA ~
Sasha's heart almost exploded when Nick raised that gun towards her—then again, when Nathan's gun dropped, followed very quickly by Nathan himself. She was still gaping at his writhing form when Nick rushed forward and began unbuckling the bonds at her ankles.
She stared at him, conflicting emotions roiling within her—distrust, fear, gratitude, hope… it was all there.
Nick looked up at her between moving to the next buckle and winked. "I told you I cared."
She shook her head soundlessly.
Then there was a sobbed, "Sasha!" from the doorway and Zev was there, awake and shuffling towards her, obviously still not entirely free of the effects of whatever was in that tranquilizer, but at least he was on his feet.
