Huck
Cash pulled upabout five minutes later in a rental truck, and I leaned in the window, doingmy best to ignore the look of death on his face. “Where’s Razor?”
“Following Ducky’ssignal. You wanna tell me how you let her out of your sight,prospect?”Cash snarled.
Here we go.
“Well, unlikeyou, I let your sister make decisions for herself. I don’t keep her on a leashor locked in some dungeon. She has full autonomy over her person.” I sighed.“That being said, had she fucking told me she was leaving, I would have gonewith her.”
“Perhaps a bellwould be good.”
“Isn’t that whyshe wears the bracelet?” I challenged.
“You have apoint.” He glanced at his phone. “Ducky means everything to me, man. If anyonehurts her again… I just…”
“Yeah, Cash, Iget it,” I said, trying to keep my rage in check. “We’re gonna find her, andwhoever took her is gonna die.”
“On that weagree.”
“I’ll followyou.” I headed to my grandfather’s truck, and we hauled ass toward Daisy.

ASSHOLE MCGILLICUDDY CARRIED me into thebuilding next to the house and dropped me onto a mattress in the middle of thefloor. I peeked just enough to take in the room and all I saw was empty spaceand a few windows at the top of very high walls. No easy escape and no hope ofindoor plumbing.
“I didn’t giveyou enough ketamine to knock you out this long,” Asshole said. “You can stopfaking now.”
I opened my eyesand glared up at him. He was tall and some would probably say he was handsome,in a jock sort of way, but his eyes were devoid of humanity, and he made myskin crawl.
“I have to say,I’m impressed by the fact you’re not whimpering or begging for your life.”
“Would it do meany good?” I challenged.
He smirked.“No.”
“What do youwant?”
“In short? Tofuck the Wiltons up like they fucked me up.”
“What does thathave to do with me?” I breathed out. “I barely know them.”
He waved afinger at me with a ‘tsk, tsk, tsk.’ “Now, that’s a bald face lie and that isnot a good way to start off our relationship, Daisy Mae Carver.”
I shivered. “Youobviously have me at a disadvantage.”
He cocked hishead. “I’m someone your boyfriend’s father decided to fuck with and it’s timefor him to get what’s due.”
I frowned.“Cyrus?”
“So, you’veheard of me.”
“Unfortunately,”I grumbled.
“Again!” hesnapped, dragging me to my feet. “Not a good way to start our relationship.”
“You’re thepiece of shit who had Huck taken out,” I hissed.
He slapped me.
