In the student parking lot, I shut off my car and glanced over at Allie in the passenger seat. She stared out the windshield at all the cops and security walking around the field and the school grounds for Senior Night tonight. It was the last home game of the year.
While Kai was right about staying home tonight, I couldn’t let Allie go to the football game alone. Akio’s family had to have known that Kai and Allie were related, which meant that they would target her too.
After checking my jacket to make sure—again—that I had my gun, I stepped out of the car and zipped up my coat. The wind seared my cheeks, and I hoped that tonight would go smoothly. I didn’t want any interruptions and wanted to enjoy this last game.
We walked side by side to the entrance of the stadium, where two cops stood with metal detectors. My face paled, my stomach tightening. Fuck, they would find me out. They would swipe that damn thing across my body and … and … take me in.
“Allie,” I said, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk. “I …”
I didn’t want to go in without the gun. That would be stupid of me. Hell, it was stupid of me to be here. But I sure as hell wasn’t willing to go put the piece of metal down in my car and risk our damn lives even more.
Knowing that I was stuck, I watched cops swipe the metal detector over some guys that I swore I had seen with Poison before. The cops let them in without problem, easily let them slide, which meant that the metal detectors didn’t really work, or the cops really didn’t care because those two goons had to have guns or weapons on them.
Allie pulled me along and toward the doors. I gulped, the nerves bubbling up in my stomach, and stopped in front of the cops with Allie by my side.
“Arms up, girls,” one policeman said, lip curled into a smirk. “We need to check you.”
They scanned Allie first, and the machine didn’t beep at all, but those bastards told Allie to pull everything out of her back pockets as they stared at her hips. Allie handed her wallet to me as I nervously crossed my arms and tapped my shoe.
“She’s fine,” I snapped. “She doesn’t have anything.”
The officer swiped his detector against her backside again and paused. “Anything else back there?” he asked, crouched down behind her with his head parallel to her ass.
As soon as that man crouched behind her, I wanted to sock him in the head. Allie had nothing on her, but this guy wanted to touch Allie. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he didn’t care about breaking the law.
Allie reached into her back pockets again to feel around, then pulled her hand back out and shook her head. “There’s nothing,” she said, glancing back down at him and catching the fucking bulge in his pants.
“We’re going to have to search you,” he said.
My chest tightened, and I wanted to stand up for her, but I had a fucking gun in my jacket. If they found that, I would go right to fucking jail.
“No, you’re not searching me,” Allie said.
“If you want to make this difficult,” the officer said, “you can leave.”
But she wouldn’t leave. This was Jace’s last football game.
“Just let me pass,” Allie said. “I don’t have anything.”
“Says everyone who’s guilty.”
“Please,” she whispered.
“I’m so, so, so late!” Nicole said, suddenly hurrying in behind us in a scandalous cheerleading uniform that barely covered her ass. She pushed Allie to the side, whispering for us to hurry past the officers, and held her hands up. “Please, let me through.”
The officer whisked his metal detector over the back of her body, then the front, stopping when he reached her breasts. “What do you have under your shirt?” he asked her, shamelessly staring at her chest.
She gave him a sweet smile, but it didn’t reach her dull eyes. “Do you want to check?”
“I’ll have to take you somewhere private to be certain. We aren’t taking any chances tonight, especially after what happened at the last game,” the officer said, but that was a lie. He wanted to touch her, to feel her up, to break the fucking law and fuck a minor tonight.
“All right,” she said, glancing at us, then at the field, as if to tell us to get out of here.
I grabbed Allie’s reluctant hand and pulled her up to the bleachers. “Come on.”
While I sorta felt bad for Nicole—after she told Poison that her father had been pimping her out to the police force and the Redwood rich—I didn’t want the cops to touch or search either of us anymore. We would be fucked.
