“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
I checked my GPS one more time to make sure I hadn’t made a mistake.
Jimmy Lawerence lived in the fucking woods. What kind of lumberman shit was that?
Deciding to follow the line of trees, I hunted for any kind of path to take deeper into the woods. The longer I drove, the more agitated I got.
Once I got my hands on the guy, I wasn’t going to ask for the money owed. Not at first. Instead, I planned on getting a few punches in. Then I’d order him to move somewhere more convenient.
Finding a mailbox, I was hit with a wave of relief. One step closer to finishing the job, I turned on the dirt trail.
Keeping an eye on my phone and on the path, I decided to pull to the side with half of a mile between my destination.
Jimmy wouldn’t know I was coming. I wasn’t going to risk letting him slip past my fingers and have to go through this process all over again.
Getting out of my car, I took a look around. Trees, bushes, and more trees. Reminded me of home a little bit.
Feeling a pinch on my neck, I slapped my hand down. Damn mosquitoes.
Locking up, I set down the dirt path. I’d deter once I spotted the home. Get a good layout of my surroundings and then attack.
Eventually, I found a cabin in the middle of the woods. Keeping my distance from the home, I crept around the outskirts to search for any other exits. If Jimmy became aware of my arrival, I wanted to know where he could escape. Relieved there wasn’t a back door, I noticed a collection of chickens. Roaming around in a caged fence, I lifted a brow as I watched them move about.
For a guy who liked to spend a lot of time in clubs throwing around counterfeit money, I could not imagine him having a taste for farm life.
Spotting a garden nearby as well, my confusion only grew.
From the looks of it, Jimmy seemed like he didn’t actually have a reason to leave his home to begin with.
Hearing a snapping of a twig behind me, I jerked around. Before I could understand what in the hell was going on, the blur of a brown object thumped my head. Before the world began spinning, I got a short glimpse of something breathtaking.
A woman. One so beautiful, I couldn’t possibly believe she was real. Before I could stare for too long, everything went black.
When I opened my eyes, I immediately noticed my unfamiliar surroundings. How much time had passed? Everything was still spinning. My head was throbbing.
A concussion? That would explain why I couldn’t remember what I’d done last.
Reaching up to touch the sore spot, the sound of metal dragging caught my attention far faster than the bandage on the back of my head. A chain was wrapped securely around my wrist, fitted with a master lock.
“What the fuck?” I mumbled, following the chain to see I was attached to a radiator.
“So, you’re finally awake?”
Looking over, I spotted a woman. She was frowning, wearing a matching expression. Hovering by a door frame, it looked like she couldn’t decide if she wanted to step forward or hide behind the wall.
Wasthisthe woman who thumped me in the head? She was a small thing, hardly any muscle on her body. I couldn’t possibly see her dragging my body anywhere. She also lookedverysimilar to the woman I hallucinated about before passing out.
Sweet face or not, I knew better than to relax near an enemy. Seeing as she was the one to attackme, she had to be at the top of my list for getting what they had coming.
“Who are you?” I asked, dropping my arm to my side. The chain was thick and heavy.
She stepped closer, crossing her arms over her chest. “Who areyou?”
I didn’t answer her. Instead, I looked around. “Where’s Jimmy?”
The woman didn’t reply. She simply stared at me, her expression unreadable.
