Greg fixes his black trench coat collar before fidgeting with his black gloves. Kevin rolls his eyes before refocusing back on me.
“Lachlan, it’s unfortunate Kevin here can’t keep his mouth shut because now you’ll be coming with us,” Greg states matter-of-factly.
“I’m not going anywhere with you,” I almost laugh.
Greg starts to laugh, too, as if I just told him a joke instead of saying I’m not letting them take me with them. Looking down, he sees Avery’s still breathing but unconscious.
“Oh dear, what do we have here?”
Concern actually causes Greg’s eyebrows to pinch together momentarily.
“You know what she did. I couldn’t leave her behind when I saw her,” Kevin sneers.
“Hmmm…” Greg muses.
His eyebrows unfurrow, and he gives a light shrug of his shoulders.
“Very well, but you still managed to get the final documents we need?”
Greg turns toward Kevin more directly now.
“In my jacket,” Kevin replies.
“Let’s go then,” Greg nods.
Then he gestures for us all to walk out into the dimly lit alley while putting his hands inside his trench coat pockets.
“And for fucks sake, put that gun away, I have mine,” he says to Kevin.
He pulls out a small gun from his pocket before shaking it in the air to signal for me to join them. I can’t let Avery out of my sight. Of fucking course, I’m coming along now.
A blacked-out SUV is waiting in the alley.
I need a fucking miracle to happen. I know that I can’t let us get in that SUV, but Avery is unconscious, and in order to protect her, I think we might have to.
Greg opens up the passenger door for Kevin and Frank to put Avery down. I look inside to see Missy is there waiting. I knew she was fully involved in this matter.
“Missy,” I seethe.
She taps her red nails against the front seat chair and grimaces.
“In the flesh, Father,” she smoothly replies.
“Of course you’re involved,” I say almost in disbelief.
Avery and I had suspected Missy’s involvement, but I never thought she would be this aware of everything. I had assumed if anything it was just for stolen money. Now she’s involved in kidnapping?
Missy laughs from her seat.
“Like my photos?”
She smiles wickedly at me.
The world is spinning on its axis as it all starts to come together.
“Everyone, stop. Just fucking leave us be,” I shout.
Greg and Missy laugh loudly.
