Page 83 of Mercy (The Sins Trilogy 3)
I look at the girl. She doesn’t seem alarmed or upset, even though she has to be listening to what we’re saying, especially since we aren’t exactly quiet. I would if I were in her situation, taken by a scary man to a remote location, tied and forced to kneel for hours in an abandoned building.
I start toward her. “Look, if you want to—”
She gives me a brilliant smile. “I’m fine. Really. I don’t mind. I’ll be fine.”
I stop and study her face. There’s no sign of fear. Her eyes are clear, and I don’t think she’s using like the sweaty, shaking guy. Maybe Tolyan’s just fucking with me. Elizabeth wouldn’t condone her man handing over young women to the mob, no matter what he gets in exchange.
He smothers a laugh with a fist, his eyes alight with humor.
Disgusted, I head out.
TJ follows.
“You’re welcome,” Tolyan calls out.
I flip him the bird.
