I tighten my grip on her. “I told you before. I don’t kill. I capture.”
“And I don’t pay good money for a half-assed job.”
“I never agreed to kill the Harts,” I say. “I agreed to deliver her. I did my job, so I get paid.”
“Let her go.”
“No.”
He tugs again. “Allen, knock it off.”
“No.”
Lilah rolls her eyes. “Am I moving in with my new daddy or not?”
“Shut your hole, bitch,” Enzo growls.
“Hey.” I frown. “Don’t call her that.”
Enzo’s eyes widen. Even Lilah’s face flashes with a bit of surprise.
“Oh, I’m sorry…” His voice drips with sarcasm. “I didn’t mean to offend the lady I’m about to hang upside down from a fucking bridge.”
Lilah tears her arm from his grasp. I take a step forward to stand between them.
“The contract is canceled,” I say, guiding her backward with one arm. “We’ll be leaving now.”
Enzo gawks at us, amused but annoyed. “You’re not going anywhere, Allen.” He waves his arm and his men step forward, each of them drawing their pistols to point at us as a few more come piling out of the other cars.
“Uh, Archer…” Lilah mutters behind me.
“I know.” I keep moving back, my eyes bouncing from each of the half-dozen men intent on slaughtering me to get to her.
“If you’ve got a plan, now would be a good time—”
“I know.”
She sighs as our backs touch the trailer. “Uncuff me and give me a gun.”
“Hell no.”
“I can help you.”
I meet those big, brown eyes and my resolve crumbles. As much as I’d hate to admit it… if there’s anyone with a reputation interesting enough to handle a situation like this, it’s Lilah Hart.
I grit my teeth as I reach for the key in my pocket. “Bloody hell…”
“Last chance, Allen,” Enzo barks at me. “Let her go and maybe I won’t leave you out here to die.”
Lilah shifts around and I drop the key into her palm. I instantly hear the clack of the cuff slipping open and she reaches for the gun stuffed in my belt.
She pauses. “This is my gun,” she says.
“Yes, it is,” I confirm.
“Why do you have my gun?”
“You dropped it in LA.”
