“He killed my sister.”
“Now that…” Her finger floated into the air and then drooped. “There’s not much I can say to that except we should let the authorities handle things. Even if the police weren’t doing their jobs before, with Jewel testifying we can nab him.”
“Sure.” Finn decided to leave Carrie to her naiveté. If he faced off with Kross and had an opportunity, he’d take the shot.
No regrets.
He parked the car in front of Sweet Treats ten minutes later. The moment he stepped inside, Finn froze in shock. The room was filled with Jewel’s friends, including Benson, Sun Gi, Sky and Joon.
Sky barreled over. “Where the hell is Jewel?”
“Babe.” Joon strode toward his wife and calmly pried her hands off his collar. “We talked about this.”
Brown eyes still spitting bullets, Sky snapped, “You have a lot to answer for, Finn.”
“I know.”
“We’ve already read him the riot act.” Carrie stepped forward. “What are you doing here?”
“Didn’t you guys see my message?” Sky demanded.
Carrie and Jo exchanged looks.
Sky rolled her eyes and gestured wildly with her hands. “I saw your missing posters on Facebook. When I tried calling, no one answered. What was I supposed to do?”
“We hopped on a plane and came home,” Joon said with a sober nod.
“I already filled Benson and Sun Gi in.” Joana strode forward and joined the circle of women in front of him. “What’s our next step? How do we find her now?”
Finn glanced over their heads. “Nolan?”
“I’m hacking every camera I can, but Belizean streets don’t have many of those.” He spoke with his eyes glued to the screen. “I’m trying.”
“Try harder!” Sky shrieked.
Finn glanced at her. “Nolan’s a prodigy. He’ll find her.”
“And if he doesn’t?” Sky narrowed her eyes. “Gosh, I’m such an idiot. I should have never pushed Jewel at you.”
“It’s not your fault.” Joana soothed her back.
It wasn’t his either, but Finn knew the Sweet Treats women weren’t open to hearing his excuses. His revenge mission had quickly become a rescue mission. Kross came second to Jewel’s safety.
He strode toward the door. “Nolan, call me if you find something.”
“I will.”
“Hey!” Joana yelled at his back.
Finn glanced over his shoulder and found the entire crew staring at him. “What?”
“Where are you going now?”
Finn settled his hand on the butt of his gun. “I can’t sit back and wait. I have to do something.”
Sky glided toward him, her chin high and her shoulders back. Finn braced himself for a slap to the face, but when she stopped a couple inches and didn’t raise her arms, he let out a breath.
“Don’t make me regret trusting you,” she said in a low voice.
