“I know where he is,” Taegan says.
I squat and look Cadlha in the eyes. “Did ya get what ya wanted? If I were ya, I wouldn’t try me again, I wouldn’t. Come near me, my brother, or Dylan again and it will be yer life. That I can promise ya,” I hiss.
“I fucking hate ya,” she sobs.
I shrug. “Feeling is mutual, bitch.”
CHAPTER 31
Let’s Go Home
Ciarán
I’m so angry.I thought Arnold was a friend. He’s always so nice to me.
I can’t believe he’s the one who kidnapped me. Well, he and his friend. I had been going to put my things away in my locker at the gym to get ready for training with Corey when my face was covered with a cloth and I passed out.
I woke up here in this apartment with Arnold’s friend staring nervously at me. Ciara is going to be so angry. I hope she’s okay.
I’m so hungry and tired and my wrists hurt. They have had me in zip ties since I woke up. Arnold has seen me in the ring. He’s smart to keep me tied up.
I’d kick his ass and his friend’s too, if I could get loose. I wonder where his friend went. If I got away, could I make it far enough before he came back?
I look to see my backpack is by the other sofa. My phone is in there. If I can get to it, I can call for help. Miss Vega or MissTaegan would come and get me. Ciara doesn’t know the city like they do.
I don’t want to risk getting caught trying to wait for her to find where I am. I might just call Dylan. He’ll kick Arnold’s ass and take me home.
“I can hear you thinking, kid. You’re going to get out of here soon. I’ll get you back to your sister. I didn’t want anything to do with this in the first place. You hungry?”
“No,” I lie, not trusting him or anything he’ll give me.
“I’ll order a pizza anyway.”
I ignore him as I look around again, trying to figure out how to escape. I need to get my hands and feet free first. I’ve been working on my hands, but my wrists are so sore I’ve taken a break.
“Why did you take me?”
“Your sister pissed someone off and they want to get her back. It’s a stupid plan and she’s going to get her ass kicked, but I … shit, I don’t know what I’m doing anymore,” he huffs and runs his hands through his hair.
“You could take me back. I promise I won’t say anything.”
He goes to say something, but his phone goes off. He reads the text message and the blood drains from his face. Standing up, he begins to pace.
“Fuck, I knew this was going to happen. Shit, fuck,” he screams.
“What happened? Can we leave now, and you drop me off at the gym?”
“I don’t think I have that type of time. They’re coming for you. Crazy bitch got her ass whipped. I’m a dead man after this. I told her this was stupid.”
“I don’t even know who she is. Can you cut me loose?”
It’s a lie. I know he’s talking about Cadlha. She was always so mean to me, and I saw the way she looked at my sister.
She was pissed when she found out she was banned from the gym. I was there the day she tried to enter after she was cut from the team. She totally lost it.
I had heard something about her and Ciara getting into it. I don’t know why she would want to fight my sister. That’s just stupid.
“Fuck, I’m sorry, kid. Please don’t tell them it was me. The best thing is for me to run and leave you here. Someone will find you and release you, but if I’m here when they get here, I’m dead.”
