“It’s possible, but I’m worried he thinks you’re still here.”
“Are you at Laney’s?”
“Yeah, I’m parked right out front, but it’s downpourin’. I can’t see much out of my window. Do you want me to go in?”
My heart races as I think about what to do. Before I left, I secured her doors with extra deadbolts and a security system, but that wouldn’t stop a determined man from finding a way in if that was his mission.
“If my dad’s on the loose and thinks I’m stayin’ there, he’d go to extreme levels to get rid of me.” I have no doubt about that.
“Do you want me to get an officer over here?”
“There’s no time. I’m gonna call Laney and tell her to get out. Stay put and watch the perimeter. Book them a room at the Twins Hotel in the meantime.”
“Got it.”
We hang up, and I immediately call Laney. It rings and goes to voicemail.What the hell?We were just speaking five minutes ago.
I call three more times before sending her a text.
Ayden
Get out of the house. Don’t go to your mom’s.
Ayden
I booked y’all a room at the Twins Hotel.
Ayden
Once you get there, lock the door and don’t open it for anyone.
I call five more times before calling Zane again.
“Go knock on her door. She must’ve passed out. Tell her to grab Serena and go.”
“I’m on it.”
Ayden
Laney, let me know you’re getting these! This is urgent, baby.
Ayden
I’m sending Zane over. Call me as soon as you’re in the car.
I call her twice more before Zane sends me an update.
Zane
She’s grabbing Serena now. I’ll follow her to the hotel and make sure she’s secure, then come back and check things out here.
Relief hits me knowing they’re on the move.
Ayden
Thank you.
Then I anxiously wait for Laney to call.
