CHAPTER FORTY THREE
She went out of her mom's room feeling betrayed.
Why didn't he call her like he promised to?
She went back the way shed gone last night, if there was a reason that floorboard was suddenly removable, she intended to find out.
And she intended to find out every other thing he might be hiding from her.
So much for her leap of trust.
She bumped in Brookly on her way.
"Oh God, I'm sorry Brooks. I wasn't paying attention where I was going."
"It's no problem girl, I should have seen you coming, but I didn't." The older woman replied, smiling at her.
"Thank you." She replied with a smile.
She was about leaving but she turned last minute.
"What happened here last night, Brooks?" She asked in a quiet voice that conveyed she knew something did, and was disappointed nobody told her.
"I don't know," The woman re

JoJo came to with a throbbing head, bound wrists and the dirty, terrifying memories of how she'd ended up here.Whatever she was inside was moving, she knew it was a car.An expensive one she guessed seeing how extravagantly luxurious the interior of the car looked.Whoever owned it must be some loaded bastard.Her eyes hurt as she looked around, trying to take in her surrounding with as less noise as possible.She didn't want to alert the devils seating in front of her of her conscious state.Her bound hand dragged on the expensive looking leather of the seat she was lying on.She dropped dead weight immediately, pretending to still be unconscious.One of the men turned in his seat to look at her. She could feel his suspicious eyes and knew that he'd heard that sound even before he spoke."I thought I heard the bitch move." He draw

The room was dark when JoJo came to again.She didn't want to, but she did.And it hurt a lot.She didn't even know how long she'd been out.Hours? Days?Her face burned from the hits she'd taken on it from that bastard.The joints of her hands hurt when she tried to move them and the bite if the cuffs on her wrist only felt multiple times worse.She could taste dried blood in her mouth. She must have hurt some part of her mouth while she'd stood receiving hits from that low scum of a man.But she'd do it all over again than allow him to touch her the way he had without doing anything about it.She groaned as she swayed from a brief dizzy spell and her weight pulled on her bound hands, bringing pain with it.How long will she have to wait before they come in again to hurt her?How much longer will s

Brad ended up ditching his car for a ride in Jordan's.Of course the man brought his car and there had been absolutely no need for him to have snatched his keys.The ride to the cafe was blurry and he spent most of it on his phone, pulling up files and documents that were related to that case he'd remembered and the location.His one witness for a case had gone missing the day they'd been scheduled to meet and a couple days later, his body had turned up cold and very dead at the same address they were driving to.It had happened years ago when he was still a rookie in the business.Jordan cursed for the hundredth time and for the same number of times, Brad wondered if it was even safe letting him be behind the wheels.With the way he was working up right now, they could end up in a ditch somewhere while trying to get there any sooner.The car slowed as they made it

It's been a couple days and JoJo was yet to come out of it and Jordan was becoming worried.The doctor had promised him on arrival that she'd only suffered from a concussion and needs to be watched, but till now she was yet to regain consciousness.As he looked at her pale, small figure lying in the pristine, white sheets of the hospital bed, he found himself praying again.He's been doing that a lot since the morning she went missing.He needed her to come back to him, he hoped she still had a will to.After all she's been through recently, she might not.The thought scared him.She looked so fragile, like touching her could hurt her more, but he couldn't keep his hands away from her.He tucked her hair away from her face with caressing fingers, itching to do more than that but unable to.The bruises on the sides of her face where

Officer Lucas!The fucking spineless weasel!Why the fuck had he asked her to show up at that fucking cafe out of the lot that dotted the city?It made no sense except that he'd known those guys were going to show up there and he'd been setting her up for them.The thought enraged him and made him want to hit something, someone, maybe the cunning cop himself.It was the early hours of the morning but Jordan couldn't wait to talk to Brad.He quietly left the room after JoJo finally fell into a quiet sleep.He'd wanted to lie there with her, hold her and savor the feel of her small body curled in his once again, but he couldn't.Not with what he suspected.He went to his room to grab his phones and then went back downstairs to make his call.He didn't want to disturb Riley's sleep, hence the decision to head back down
