“Thank you,” she said stiffly. “Can I go now?”
“No. You’re coming with us.”
Chapter Seven
Wait. What? No.
Lorelei realized she had spoken those words only in her head. She’d been too stunned to speak.
Without her brain and her pussy being zapped into the stratosphere at freakishly irregular intervals of varying intensity levels, she could finally fully process what they had said about Morgan.
Oh, Morgan. Did you really steal ten million dollars from these men?
Which brought her back to another question. If he did, why did he do it?
Also, they were taking her with them?
“Excuse me?” she exclaimed. “What? What do you mean I’m going with you? Where? Also no. I’m not going anywhere with you. I’ll be no use to you at all. I don’t know Morgan that well and I won’t be able to help you. I am going home. So, goodnight.” She crossed her fingers for two reasons. One in the hope they believed her and let her go and two, she at least made a graceful exit which is to say, not trip over anything.
She needed a moment to clear her head so she could start putting her efforts into finding Morgan and getting answers. She also needed to sit in a corner alone and try and decipher if the last thirty minutes or so of her life had really happened.
How did she go through her entire day without knowing they existed, to have them take over her world? She didn’t even know all their names, except Drake, and not because he had introduced himself. Oh no. She had overheard him being called Drake.
“Just acquaintances?” Blue Eyes held up a small, framed photo. Panic dropped like a boulder into the pit of her stomach.
There was nothing Morgan hated more than having his picture taken. Usually, she could wear him down maybe twice, three times a year to take one with her, but that was about it. The pictures she had on her phone consisted of only a few of Morgan and one at his secret cabin. He cherished that place. His father had built it with his bare hands and Morgan had helped him.
She understood him needing to keep his father’s memory alive. She was doing the same with her phone. Ordinarily she couldn’t care about things like that, but that phone was the last thing he had given her for her birthday. She really hoped she could get it fixed and if not, she would still carry it around with her. She never claimed not to be sentimental that way.
The picture that Blue Eyes held up was taken about three years ago at the beach. She put her sun hat on his head and kissed his cheek as she took the picture.
Okay, now she was screwed. Officially.
“Okay. Fine. Morgan is my friend. I’ve known him my whole life. But I swear I don’t know anything about the money, and I don’t know where he is. I haven’t seen him since Tuesday when I waved goodbye to him on my way to work.”
“We think you know exactly where he is and you’re going to tell us one way or another.”
