He knows I’m a better shot than him, and that I always have one on me. No way he tries to fight me on this.
“Oh fuck dude, I’m turning around. I’ll escort you,” he says much quieter.
“You know that’s not legal man.” I sound like I’m lecturing him, what the fuck. I smack my head. He is literally trying to help me. “But I appreciate it dude, I owe you one. I need to get to her.” He hangs up, and I see him pull in front of me.
We turned that forty-five-minute drive into twenty minutes. The amount of laws we just broke would put us both in deep shit. Thank goodness they haven’t put cameras and trackers on their units in my area. Screeching to a stop, I jump out of the car, pull my gun out, and run to the door. John follows close behind me. I look at him and mouth.
“3, 2, 1.”
I kick in the door, to see a shotgun pointing at my face from over the kitchen counter.
“Zander it’s me!” I shout, Zander looks dazed but pulls the barrel of the gun away from my face as fast as he can.
“I’m so sorry man. Where did the guy go? He was literally just knocking on that door…” he sounds so scared.
“No one was out here when we got here man.”
What the fuck is happening?
“Janice and I both heard it. The pounding stopped, literally thirty seconds before you kicked in the door,” he still has a hold of his shotgun.
He’s suspicious of me right now, I would be too, that was crazy.
“No one is out there, can I check the perimeter?” John slides out behind me, and Zander seems to relax immediately.
“Yeah, man. Jayce, lock the door.” He drops down behind the kitchen counter again. Everything starts to register in my head.
“You said Janice and you heard the pounding? Where the fuck is Olive?”
If she is hurt, this man will fucking die for not protecting her. He pops his head up again looking concerned as fuck and points at the floor in front of him.
“I don’t know what happened, man. She was ducking behind the counter, telling us what to do one minute, and then I sent her and Janice to the bathroom. I was just going to shoot whatever came through the door, and then call 911.”
I run and jump over to the bathroom door knocking in a panic, calling out for Janice.
Her head pops out from the bathroom door when I do.
“She just started hyperventilating and then passed out! Get in here!” She shouts at me in a panic.
“Fuck.” I groan running into the bathroom.
Chapter 10
Olive
“Truth or dare,” Blake says easily, looking down on me as if he is trying to intimidate me. Not going to lie, it’s working.
“Umm, truth,” I say timidly.
“Boringgggg,” Josh says, “OKAY if you want to be boring, we can start with that. Which one of us do you want to fuck you first tonight?” His smirk turns into something meaner. I sink into my chair.
“Ohh, umm I’m not looking for anything like that, sorry,” I say almost in a squeak.
Blake stands up and walks over, standing above me glaring down at me. “You wanted to go with a boring truth. Answer the question,” he practically snarls at me.
“I guess in this hypothetical, it would be Josh. He seems the nicest.”
Josh gets a giant smile on his face. “I’ll be so nice to you baby,” he says, patting his lap to tell me to come sit on his lap.
