My mother doesn’t like it. Hell, I don’t like it. My dad sent my brother straight to the enemy’s house.
She groans. “Fine. I expect all four of you and Luna at the house tonight.”
My father nods. “I promise.”
She turns on her heel and walks out of the room with Paul following her.
My father’s phone rings, and he puts it on speaker. “Bennett? I’m here with Cole. You’re on speaker.”
“It wasn’t the Sterlings.”
“How do you know?” my father asks.
“They were pissed I even asked. Not nervous, guilty, or anything. If they had her, they wouldn’t be quiet. That’s not how they work. You know that, Dad.” He blows out a breath. “If they got one up on us, they would want everyone to know it was them.”
“Shit,” my father curses.
I search my mind as my father tells Bennett, “Get here to Main Street.”
My father disconnects, and then his phone rings.
“Yeah?” he answers. After a moment, he nods his head. “Send me the address. Got him,” he says when he hangs up.
I step toward my father. “Where is Luna?”
My father laughs. “We’re dealing with amateurs. We traced the bank to Chris and Jess Crisp. They live three miles from here.”
My father calls Bennett to tell him where to meet us, and then we all run outside and pile into vehicles. I slap the dashboard. “Let’s go. Let’s go.”
We get to the Crisp house, and I ignore my father’s request to wait. I kick in the front door, gun drawn, and run through the house in search of Luna. I run room to room, finding each one empty. My brother comes down the stairs. “Upstairs is clear.”
“Fuck,” I grunt.
“Check this out,” my father calls.
We walk through the house, following my father’s voice. His men are standing outside the room, and they gesture for Bennett and me to go in.
Dad is looking at a wall covered with pictures of Luna, and my heart starts to race. These fuckers have been watching her.
My dad taps on a sheet of paper in the corner. “Here. This is their whole plan. The dumbasses wrote it all out.” He points at a drawing. “They’re keeping her here.”
I stuff the gun into my waistband. “Let’s go.”
CHAPTER 14
LUNA
The two men are getting antsy.
They’re going to kill me, that much I know.
I’ve seen their faces. I can identify them. There’s no way they’re going to let me go.
“Have you heard from Cole?” one asks.
The other looks at his phone. “No, the account balance still says zero.”
I clench my eyes shut. I should have known he wouldn’t pay. I guess it doesn’t matter anyway. These guys planned to get the money and then leave me for dead anyway. At least that’s what they keep saying.
