“She didn’t.”
“Why do you think she was able to leave him?” he challenged.
“I don’t know.” Jesska dragged her hands down her face, shaking her head. “She told me he was able to stop her twice before she finally escaped.”
“I don’t believe that is accurate, little one. If what I think is true, then he would not have been able to stop her.”
“What does that mean?” she snapped. Before he could answer, she raised her hand. “No, don’t bother answering. I have a lot to do. Please leave.”
She pushed open the door and stepped inside, locking it behind her and leaning against it in an effort to catch her breath.
Chapter Seven
Kaspar let her retreat. He knew that if he pushed her, she’d only run... or hurt herself again. He needed some answers of his own before he could accurately explain anything to her. He returned to the car, Austri opened the door and Kaspar climbed inside. Once Austri slid into the driver’s seat, Kaspar said, “Wait and see if she comes out soon. If she does, follow her.”
Austri nodded and Kaspar raised the partition glass, pulling out his phone and dialing Kade Gunnach.
“Gunnach.”
“I need to speak with my brother.”
Kade sighed, but didn’t respond.
“The calls are recorded, Kade. There’s no reason to stop this.”
“You’re becoming a pain in my arse, that’s a good enough reason. Why do you need to speak with him?”
“That I can’t tell you,” Kaspar said.
“As you so eloquently pointed out, I will have every chance to listen to your conversation while and after it takes place, so you might as well tell me now.”
“My brother should answer my questions before you are aware of what they are.”
Kade sighed again, but Kaspar knew he understood. Whether he’d allow another conversation was the question.
“I’ll patch you through. But I’ll be listening.”
“I don’t doubt it.”
The line went quiet for a few seconds before Ari’s voice sounded over the wire. “Kaz?”
“How are you?”
“Fine, Kaspar. Fannstu þá?” (Did you find them?)
“Já.”
“Hvar eru þeir?” (Where are they?)
“Öruggir.” (Safe.)
“Segðu mér,” Ari demanded. (Tell me.)
“Nei, ég er með spurningu áður en ég segi þér eitthvað.” (No. I have a question before I tell you anything.)
“Hvað?” (What?)
“Er þessi kona maki þinn?” (Is this woman your mate?)
