Excerpt
“Did
you get everything?” I ask frantically even as Jack clicks through
a few screens on the laptop, slides it back into its place, and shuts
the safe’s door.
He’s
already moved the desk back when he tells me: “I got enough. Don’t
worry about it, Rae. We just need to focus on getting the hell out of
here. You locked the door, right?”
I
just nod as he grabs my hand and pulls me toward the French doors
leading out into the terrace. Crisp night air whips around my face
and I’m standing on the terrace of the mayor’s office as Jack
swings his legs over the edge like he’s actually prepping to jump.
“What
are you—”
“You
got any better ideas?” Jack cuts in with a huff.
He
digs the chain out from around his neck, kisses the cross, and then
jumps off the terrace sitting two-stories above the ground. He
springs up to his feet like nothing happened and holds his arms out
to me.
“Rae!”
he whispers loudly. “You gotta do it. You have to.”
My
heart stutters in my chest and somehow underneath my mind screaming
at me to do otherwise, my limbs find a mind of their own. My hands
grip the edges of the railing and I know we don’t have much time
left.
“I’ll
catch you, Rae,” Jack waves his hands to me from the ground. “I
promise.”
Heaven
help me. I believe him.
I
squeeze my eyes shut.
Then
I free fall into his arms.
He
catches me just like he said he would, but we still tumble backward
with my weight collapsing on top of him as we land on the wet grass.
All the air knocks out of my lungs when my bad knee connects with the
ground and slivers of pain shoot up and down my thigh.
“Shit!
Ow!”
Jack’s
hands snake around my waist and he whips me around, hauls me up, and
heaves me over his shoulder before he takes off running.
“Jack,
my—”
“I
know, I know,” he cuts me off breathlessly. “Just hang on.”
My
trust in him is boundless in this moment. He’ll keep me safe. He’ll
get me to where Bennett’s hiding. I feel like my life is in his
hands right now and maybe it’s been this way the whole time—I
just never really knew it until right now, with my body slung over
his shoulder like a sack of potatoes as he sprints off the mayor’s
property and through the neighbors’ backyards. When we finally
reach our getaway car, Bennett hops out of the driver’s side and
holds the back door open so Jack can slide me into the back seat.
Then
he follows me inside the car, gripping a tight hold of my injured
knee and shouts, “Drive, Benn!”
Short
of the tires squealing in our wake, Bennett follows his orders and
gets us the hell out of there. When we’re a safe distance away, he
whips around in his seat, surveys the scene in front of him—namely,
both my legs splayed out over Jack’s lap and my dress practically
hiked up to my knees—and he waggles his eyebrows at me.
“So
where to, milady?” he asks with an evil grin. “Your place or
his?”
