“We should go,” Remy says softly to me.
“Go on, Miss Lolita,” Rob smiles, his eyes full of unshed tears.Remy takes my hand and pulls me along.Omar stops us to hug me.
“You’ll be okay, girl,” Omar says.
“Omar, I love you, son.Get the fuck out of here,” Rob says.“Go home and don’t get caught up in this.I have files to delete.”
“Cops,” Dazzle calls out, looking at her phone.“My man said there is a group of them driving this way.”
“Come on,” Remy says, pulling me out.
We all run outside and get back to the car.I am in tears by the time we are pulling out of the parking lot.I’m sitting in the backseat with Remy while Cam drives.A few seconds after we pull out and driving down the road, we see a pack of police cars pull into the parking lot of the club.
“I’m sorry, Lori,” Remy murmurs as he holds me in his lap.
Chapter Eleven
Lorelei
We’vebeenwatchingthenews, waiting for the cops to show up.Cameron expressed that we would make a statement in the morning, and were taking the evening to process things.Mom and Dad are here with us, and we are all sitting in the living room of Remington’s house.It’s the only property between all of us that is gated, so it will keep people away from me.It’s not stopping them from being at the gate, though.
I am curled up in Remy’s lap when Cam sighs.“Cops at the gate,” he says.
“I’m going to jail,” I say tearfully.
“No, you’re not,” Dad says as he sits on the ottoman in front of me.“Look at me.”
“I’m sorry, Daddy,” I say as I choke back tears.I sit up and face him, letting him take my hands.
“I will never judge you for the things that you decide to do.Your mother and I love you no matter what, you understand that, right?”
“Yes,” I sniff.
“Rob Lasson was arrested and is being charged with fifteen counts of human trafficking.They officially arrested him about an hour ago,” Dad says gently.“None of the girls were arrested.”
“I don’t want to lie,” I say.
“Baby, you have to,” Dad says.“If you go against what the other girls said, you’ll all go to jail.”
“Okay,” I sniff.There is a knock at the door, and Cam answers it.
“I am Detective Ross Yotes.Is Lorelei here?”he asks.
“Yeah,” Cam says, stepping out of the way.The man walks in and I don’t look up at him as my dad moves to the other couch.
“I am Detective…”
“I heard,” I say.
“Then you know why I am here,” he says.
“Because of the club,” I say quietly.
“Yes, ma’am.Can you tell me about your boss, Rob?”he asks.
“He, uh…” I say as I start to cry.I don’t want to lie, even if he wants me to.“I didn’t have a choice…”
“He made you take clients to the back room?”Defective Yotes asks, and I nod as tears roll down my cheeks.“What about the claims of blackmail?”
