Quinn deleted it.
Then she started a new text.
Playing sentry again tonight?
The response text took less than three seconds.
Why? Need rescuing, baby girl?
Quinn smiled.
Now that you mention it, yeah. I do.
Her phone vibrated almost immediately.
What’s up?
I’m on a bus, bound for nowhere.
Sweetheart, it’s a TRAIN bound for nowhere.
Her heart gave a little squee at the endearment. It meant nothing and everything all at once. She smiled over her phone while she texted back.
Well, I’m on a bus with no destination in mind.
Want me to come get you?
Quinn stopped and stared at the phone. Was this dangerous?
It didn’t feel dangerous. Tyler had had ample opportunity to hurt her last night and he hadn’t.
When Becca had first told her about finding Chris in the middle of a fight with Tyler and Seth in the parking lot, Quinn’s first question had been, “Why?”
She’d never gotten a good answer.
She slid her thumbs across the face of her phone.
Are more taquitos in my future?
Play your cards right and there might be a soda, too.
His texts were teasing, so she wasn’t sure if his offer to come get her was genuine. She didn’t want to get off the bus until she knew for sure.
Then her phone lit up with a new message.
Don’t make me ride the bus all night. Where should I pick you up?
“Excuse me,” she called to the driver. “What’s the next stop?”
“Annapolis Mall. West side.”
Next stop is Annapolis Mall. West side.
Well look at that. You just got upgraded to a soft pretzel. See you in 10.
CHAPTER 12
Nick swore at his cell phone for the third time. Or maybe the tenth. He’d lost track.
