Roach might be finished with her, but I hadn’t even started. I dialed her number, putting it to my ear and walking outside. It went straight to her voice mail.

She never checked her voice mail. Fine, I’ll just have to message her.

Chapter 16

Abby

It was late. After midnight. We had gotten the guns there. Daniels talked shop for a good few hours. They offered for us to stay the night, but Daniels wanted to head back and so did I. Well, at least that’s what I thought was going to happen.

Till he pulled into a motel about five hours from home, complaining of being tired.

I offered to take over driving, but he wouldn’t hear of it. Just gave me a lecture about how I needed to rest.

“You alright, Abby? Quieter than usual.” Daniels stopped at my motel door. I had made him get us two rooms.

“Fine.” I unlocked the door. “Night, Daniels.”

His hand wrapped around my arm. “You know, considering you are my girlfriend, you should be sleeping with me.”

I laughed dryly. “We both know that’s just a front. Like I said, night Daniels.” I got out of his grasp and closed the door.

Dropping my book on the bed, I pulled out my phone, turning it back on. Sighing, I fell back on the bed. I knew I needed sleep. But I also knew it wasn’t going to happen. I hadn’t been sleeping for months. Then one night with Reaper in my bed and I slept like a log.

My phone started vibrating, and I assumed they would be missed calls from Dad. I picked it up. Not surprised at all to see Dad’s name keep flashing on my screen. I thought my phone was finished being raped by Dad’s name when Reaper’s name popped up.

Why would he be calling me?

Then before I could even think of reasons why he would be calling me, messages popped up from him.

I unlocked the phone and opened his messages.

Abby are you safe?

Why r u not answering your phone?

Msg me when you get this

It has been hours Abby why haven’t you msged me?

I am guessing by this reaction he had overheard my conversation with Dad. Might as well get this over with.

I’m fine. Staying at a motel

I sent it. He would be asleep by now. I needed sleep. I pulled the blankets back and grabbed my book. I knew if I couldn’t sleep, I could read. My phone vibrated next to me. Reaper. Why was he still up?

R u with him?

I sighed. It was a fair question.

No

I picked my book back up. Then my phone started ringing.

Reaper.

He wanted to talk to me?

What did he want to say to me?
