“Or going to get fucked,” I tease.
Her eyes sparkle.“Can we get off the ground now?”
We do, and I help her stand, grateful for this amazing woman.I turn to Jaxon when the thing that has been bothering me pushes to the front of my mind.“How did the police know she was here?Do you know?”
He glances at the policemen who are still lingering to get statements from other guests who were here.When he sees the coast is clear, he replies, “Beau had a feeling when she wasn’t in the office.He and another group on patrol were on their way over here when the call came in from one of the guests.”
“What do we do now?”I question.
He shrugs, scrubbing a hand over his jaw.“I’m going home to check on Lily and Rose.She’ll be worried about Paisley, and Landon too.”
“Man, I never want to hear Paisley cry out like that again,” I mutter.“Fuck, bro!The dog yelped, and fuck...the grief in her voice.”
Summer scans the area.“Hey, where did the duck go?”
Wyatt answers.“Jumped in the back of Landon’s truck.”
“Miss, can you get the CCTV for us?”a policeman asks.Summer glances at me.
“Is that okay?”she whispers.
I freeze, unaware if Liam has removed the audio.
Jaxon steps up.“Hey, if you give me your email address, I can attach it in an email to you.”
Liam removed the audio.I relax.A lot of threats were made on that tape.Guaranteed.And with how Katherine stormed toward us, Malia can declare self-defence.
I turn to Summer, reaching for her hand.I expect her to tug her hand away but she doesn’t.“Want to come check on the dog and Milly?”
Her shoulders relax.“Yes.”
I turn to my brother.“I’ll be back later.Give me a bell if you need anything.”
With that, we head to Summer’s car.Before I get in, I race inside and grab some food for Paisley.Although Landon probably has that covered already.Still, someone might be hungry.
