“And if she’s fucking dead?” I snapped, yanking myself away from him and storming down the sidewalk, glaring into all the restaurant windows to see if she was in there again. If I didn’t find her this time around, then I would be storming in each one soon.
Just as we reached the end of Main Street, Kai sped around the corner and slammed on his brakes to stop in front of us. “Around the corner. Williams’s restaurant. Something shady is going on in the back. There is more security crawling around than usual. I—”
Before he could finish his sentence, I sprinted down the street to Alex Williams’s restaurant. That man was a known fucking drug distributer, a user himself, and one of Dad’s old friends. Why the fuck would Mom be there?
I ran to the end of the street, rounded the corner, and found the security all walking back in through the back door. Rushing up to the door, I went to bang my fist against the metal but saw Mom instead.
Dumped by the dumpster.
In nothing but white lingerie that was covered in blood.
Bruises in her arms and needles littered around her.
“No!” I shouted, shaking my head from side to side and doubling over her body. I pressed my shaky fingers to her wrist to find a weak pulse and clenched my jaw. “Fucking no!”
I needed to get her out of here.
She needed a hospital now.
Scooping her into my arms, I ran toward my car and passed Landon and Kai on the way. “Make sure Williams doesn’t leave,” I said. “And someone make sure that Imani and Ana are okay. I need to bring Mom to the hospital.”
She wasn’t going to die on me. Not tonight.
