The masked man pushes my mother forward and Bennett moves in closer. His eyes fall on Darla’s face and he furrows his brow in confusion.
“That’s not my daughter,” he says.
Fucking idiot.
“It’s just the hair, Bennett…”
Darla slinks a little behind my shoulder.
Take the shot, Dani.
Mercer takes a step closer to her and squints. “What’s that now?”
“That’s not my daughter,” Bennett repeats.
I stare him down. “Yes, it is.”
“I don’t know who this impostor is, but she’s not my daughter! My Roxie isn’t nearly so… generic.”
“Generic?!”Darla spits.
I deflate. Mercer reaches out and snatches the sunglasses off her face.
“Hey—!” she gasps.
I glare at Darla and she winces apologetically.
Mercer’s lips curl, but he’s far from amused. “Where’s the girl, Fox?” he asks.
Bennett bares his teeth. “Where’s my daughter, you son-of-a-bitch?!”
Now would be great, Dani…
Mercer points his pistol at Darla.
I grab her wrist and reach for the revolver in my belt while pulling her behind me. “Put it down, Mercer. You’re outgunned here.”
“Fooooox!”
Dani’s scream echoes through the field.
I spin toward the barn as a shot of dread charges through my heart.
Mercer chuckles. “Sounds like my squad is a little larger than you thought.”
