“This is Detective Phil Gold. Please follow him to his car. I’ll have an officer bring yours to the station,” Lio said.
“We regret, but we must decline. You have not arrested us, and therefore we are free to go. So we will take our leave now,” the Fifth Minister said.
Magic moved from behind the counter.
“I want to press charges for false allegations,” he stated. “You were both witnesses to that. I want them arrested.”
Oh, I wondered if that would work.
“Now, we can do it one or two ways. You come of your own accord, or we arrest you, as this man asks. Your choice,” Lio said with a hint of glee.
Fifth Minister and the man swapped glances.
“Fine, but we will require our lawyer,” the Fifth Minister said.
“Not a problem. Follow me, gentlemen,” Detective Gold said.
Magic tilted his head at Lio, who was already following the three men. Taking his partners back. I wondered if Magic would come for me and clicked on the car park camera. I watched as Lio and Gold walked the two men to an unmarked police car and locked them in the back. The two men exchanged words before Lio jogged back to the bar.
I saw movement on the cameras, and three bikes pulled up. Diesel, Shotgun, and Celt behind him. All three men moved swiftly towards the bar, and I flipped back to the inside. Magic was behind the bar.
“If you have her, lock her down, Magic. Something about those suited pricks has my spine-tingling,” Lio was saying.
“You buying their story that she has a brain injury?” Magic rumbled as Diesel and the others hit the bar.
“No. But smarmy assholes like those will have all their ducks in a row. Wouldn’t surprise me to discover they have fake medical records and who knows what else,” Lio replied.
“Willow’s going to be involved, Lio. Liaise with her,” Diesel said, and Lio shot him a sharp look.
“The feds? What the fuck is Alexis involved in? It’s more than a runner from a cult,” Lio demanded. Magic noted the use of Alice’s real name. Lio had guessed more than he was letting on.
“Dude, would love to tell you, but speak to Willow. She’ll have information and knows what to discuss and what’s confidential. But don’t let those assholes slip, Lio, they are dangerous,” Diesel warned.
I saw Shotgun and Celt swap confused glances, but they didn’t say anything.
Lio nodded his head.
“We’ll keep in contact. Magic, can’t stress enough, my trouble bump is pinging. Keep her safe! And don’t confirm to me she’s here. What I don’t know, I can’t lie about,” Lio said and walked out.
Magic shot around the bar in a flash and stopped.
“Are they gone?” he asked.
“Yeah,” Diesel confirmed.
Magic continued, and Diesel followed.
“Stay here, I’ll bring Alice up,” Magic warned, and I watched Diesel stop. Nobody would cross Magic. I pressed the button to release the second door and realised I had no idea how to open the first. Therefore, I had to wait for Magic to let me out. I raced into his arms, and he hugged me tightly.
“Shit’s gonna be okay. There’s a secret way in your apartment to the cellar. I’ll show you later. Any crap ever happens, you usethat and hide here. Remember where I pressed?” Magic asked, and I nodded.
“I didn’t know how to get out. I opened the second door, but not the first,” I replied.
“There’s a lever, I’ll show you,” Magic promised as he led me back upstairs.
Diesel hurried towards me and grabbed my arms, checking me over. Once satisfied I was okay, he stepped back.
“Someone wanna explain?” Celt asked, hooking a stool and sitting down.
