Troy appears beside us and he looks frantic.
“Jesus. This fucking dude, had to be when I’m on my shift?”
“You think it’s the bandit?” Stella asks and Troy nods, “who else?”
Oh Jesus. If someone’s doing this, while our guy is in custody.
Fuck. We might have the wrong person.
ChapterSixteen
Iwalk into the building in a very bad mood. I don’t know why someone would want to do that. My clothes were ruined and I had to go home, trash them and wash myself all over. I had blood in my bra. It had taken them s while to turn the sprinklers off and by that time we were all soaked. It was like a live version of Carrie at prom.
I climb out of the elevator and I see Luca making his way to me. He’d called me a few times but between barfing and bathing is forgotten to call him back.
“Hey-” I’m cut off when he throws me against his body. His very hard, very warm body.
“Tell me you didn’t get hurt Evelyn, tell me you’re fine or I swear to God I will hunt that bastard down myself and-“”
I put my hands on his chest to stop him. We can’t have the major releasing threats.
“I’m fine, I’m alright.” I say looking at him.
He looks like he’s about to go crazy, . I feel guilty, I should’ve called him back.
“I’m sorry, I forgot to call you back, I was, throwing up my intestines.” I say trying to lighten the mood but he’s only seems to get darker.
“I’m fine, Luca, I promise.”
I say and he finally seems to calm down.
“But Luca, we have the wrong guy, Paul Linneti was still in custody when he hat whole thing happened.”
His jaws clench and he finally lets go of my hand.
We walk side by side till we get to his office.
“Who else would want to hurt your campaign this badly? Can you think of anyone else?” I ask and he shakes his head.
“There’s a lot of people who would rather I don’t make it as a senator, but I don’t think they would do something like this.”
“What about Holden?”I ask and he looks at me.
“Evelyn.”
“The fight we had this morning was about you, he was pretty riled up. I don’t think he likes you very much Luca”
Lics exhales and pinches his nose.
“No, he doesn’t.”
“Is there any reason he would hate you so much?”
He begins to shake his head bu I really wasn’t having it. I was just drowned in blood today and k needed answers.
“Don’t say it doesn’t matter, it does. I need to know.”
“We had a fight in highs school that he’s not over. There was this girl, I can’t even remember her name.”
