“And you’re an entitled prick,” Moore retorted.
Kaspar shook his head. “You haven’t learned to speak Icelandic, apparently.”
“Only a word or two, but I figure you just insulted me, and I’ve wanted to say that to you for two days.” Moore started toward the door. “Coming?”
Kaspar followed him out of the school, albeit at a distance.
Chapter Five
Jesska walked outside to find Sophia in her car, idling at the curb. “What are you doing, Sophia?”
“I’m the getaway driver,” she said.
Jesska forced back a chuckle. “Scooch. I’m driving,” she said, and forced Sophia from the driver’s seat into the passenger side. Securing her seatbelt, Jesska took off toward Cameron’s house. She didn’t know what was going on, but she knew enough to get to the safest place on earth.
“Who was that, Auntie?” Sophia asked.
“I don’t know, babe. Call Cam, okay?”
“On it.” Sophia grabbed her phone and called Cameron. While Sophia filled him in on what just happened, Jesska drove the back streets to his apartment, entering the code for access to the parking lot, relieved to find his extra space free.
Jesska’s phone rang just as she locked her car. “Hey, Cam.”
“Okay, what the hell’s going on. Really?” Cameron demanded.
“I met your friend, Dalton,” she said, trying to keep the fear from her voice for Sophia’s benefit.
“Damn it. Are you okay?”
“Yep.”
“Did he say why he was there? Was anyone else with him?”
“No and not with him per se.”
“These vague answers are because Sophia’s with you, right?” he deduced.
“Yep,” she said.
“Okay. You’re at my place, right?”
“Yep.”
“Okay. Let yourself in and then lock the door. No one comes in but me or Megan, got it?”
“Yep,” she said, a forced a smile toward Sophia.
“Dalton’s ex-FBI, Jess. And honestly, I’m not entirely sure how ‘ex’ he is. Someone has been looking for Megan and Sophia, but I don’t know all the details, so it’s important you hear me on that.”
“Yep, got it,” she said again.
“Okay. I’ll be there soon. ’Bye.”
“See ya.”
“Is everything okay?” Sophia asked.
“Everything’s going to be fine.” Jesska tugged Sophia into the elevator and then walked quickly to Cameron’s door, nearly dropping her spare key when she tried to put it in the lock. She took a deep breath and turned the lock, pushing Sophia inside before her and locking the door before entering the code for the alarm. “How about I make us something to eat, and we’ll watch a movie.”
