“You said you didn’t have a disease.”
“I don’t.”
“Hmm.”
“But what about babies?”
“Hmm. What about them?”
“What if I get pregnant.”
“I’ll hope for a boy. But I’ll love a little girl too.”
She let herself relax. “I’ll hope for a girl. But I’ll love a little boy.”
He chuckled in her ear and it vibrated throughout her body.
She drifted off to sleep dreaming sweet thoughts of life with Aidyn and babies and flowers and so much love in their house. It was wonderful. Until it wasn’t.
BANG!
He sat bolt upright then jumped from bed and dressed so fast she didn’t know what he was doing. He pulled a gun from the bedside table and ran to the door. “Stay here.”
He closed the door behind him, and she got up and dressed.
She rummaged around to find her shoes and heard more loud bangs outside. It sounded like someone was trying to get into the house. Staying in here was scary and she bet her mom was so worried. But Aidyn told her to stay here.
BANG!
She jumped when she heard the sound and she heard Tate yell, “Stay in your rooms.”
She could hear voices. She sat in the armchair across the room and hugged herself as she waited to see what happened. Her mind ran wild, but what she knew was Craig was pissed off, and he wasn’t going to let her and her mom go without a fight. There was no one up there to brew now. With them gone, their way of making money was gone. She made a huge mistake thinking about a life away from the mountain. She’d been seduced by a townie man and Craig was going to make someone pay.
ChapterThirty-Nine
Aidyn stood in the living room as bullets hit the windows. Luckily, they’d gone with bullet-proof glass, but even that wasn’t able to withstand constant barrages of bullets.
Tate was on the phone with the sheriff and if they got here in time, they’d arrest and jail whoever was out there.
Craig was too much of a coward to come down himself, so he’d sent the flunkies down.
Sirens sounded, coming closer. The old pickup truck they drove could be heard driving away.
He ran toward the garage. “I’m after them.”
Spencer was right behind him. “I’m with you.”
They jumped in his truck and took off out of the gate. The taillights faded around a corner and Aidyn turned to head them off from the opposite direction. “Tell Tate where they are. He can tell the sheriff.”
Spencer called Tate and relayed the information while Aidyn watched the road for debris and animals.
Spencer rolled his window down to listen for the truck. It was much easier when it was quiet outside.
“Spence, call Henry. He and Maya can cut them off so they can’t go back up the mountain.”
While he dialed, Aidyn turned toward the road close to the tree where he and Elena met. No headlights were visible, so he moved toward the construction site and the next road. There were three on this side of the mountain.
Spencer’s phone rang and he tapped the speaker icon. “It’s Henry. We’ve got this road blocked by the base. They’ll have to go up the middle road.”
