Finn yelled to cover the sound. “Who are you?”
The guy squirmed, brown eyes bulging out of his head. “Let me go.”
“Who sent you?”
“Help!” He slapped Finn’s hand. His gaze darted around at the people who shuffled by.
Finn stepped in front of him to block his view and tightened his grip. “Should I end you and send him a message?”
“Who? Send who a message?”
“You know who.”
“Please, let me go. Please.”
Finn tilted his head, confused. Kross’s men would never beg like this.
He dropped his hand.
The man landed hard on his knees and hacked loudly, massaging his throat. He dug his fingers into the sand and looked up, casting Finn a hard look. “I should have you arrested for that.”
“You’re the one who was following us.”
“Because of the girl.”
“If Kross wants the girl, he has to go through me.”
“Kross?” The guy stumbled to his feet. “Who the hell is Kross?”
Finn’s eyebrows scrunched.
“Look, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.” He dug into his pocket. Finn snatched his hand and bent it back. The guy cried out. “Ow! Ow! I’m just trying to get my phone.”
“For what?”
“To show you the Facebook post.” His voice warbled.
Finn stepped back.
A few moments later, he accepted the phone the guy handed over and stared at the flyer. It had a picture of Jewel’s face along with a cash reward for her whereabouts. The name beneath the contact information was Carrie Lockwood and Joana Lee Gregory.
Finn slapped the phone into the man’s chest and shook his head. “Jewls, you can come out now. He’s safe.”
Her head popped out of the nook.
The man jumped back. “Was she always in there?”
“Show her your phone,” Finn barked. When he hesitated, Finn stepped forward threateningly. “Do it.”
Hands trembling, he handed the device over.
Jewel accepted it, three wrinkles between her delicate brows. She scanned the screen for a minute and then rubbed her forehead. “Crap.”
“Call them,” Finn said, squaring his shoulders.
Jewel grimaced and put the phone to her ear.
The man glanced at them. “So who’s Kross?”
