When I got back to the car, I faced a barrage of questions, mainly about the fact that I appeared to be empty handed. I took the photos out of my back pocket and flapped them around in the air a couple times.

"These are what I wanted," I said before tucking them back in my pocket and putting my seat belt on.

"Surprised you didn't run when you had the chance," Hudson said, the snark in his tone evident.

"First off, I told you there were no other entrances or exits to that building. At least not that you can open without triggering a fire alarm, which I wasn’t about to do. Secondly, being with you guys isn't so bad. I mean, clearly you're villains, but you're definitely not the worst I've encountered."

"Villains, huh?" Dylan said with a smirk. "And what makes you think that we're villains?"

Hudson pulled out of the parking lot, pulling onto the road to go back to Dylan's mansion. "Well, you appear to be loaded, but you don't appear to have a job that you go to. Plus, you were at a fucking human auction. Good people don't go to those. Also, Hudson's crazy, and most sane people don't employ crazy people to be their bodyguards."

A bark of a laugh escaped Dylan.

"Well, then they're just missing out, aren't they?" Hudson said, sounding huffy. "I'm very good at what I do. Right, boss?"

Dylan was still chuckling silently to himself. "Right," he said when he finally calmed himself down. "Now, on to more important things. You got your end of the deal. Now it's our turn. How do you know Sampson?"

I took a deep breath and tried to think about everything as though I was relaying a story instead of the events of my life. "He was the person who kidnapped me. He took me from that dorm room I was just in and me for weeks before selling me at the auction. Well, not even at the auction itself. Apparently, he sold me before the auction even took place."

"That's it? No other run-ins with him? Nothing to link you to him. He just randomly showed up at your dorm room and kidnapped you?" Dylan glanced at me with an eyebrow raised.

"He took me because he wanted to hurt my roommate and he knew that I could be used as leverage."

When I didn't say anything further, Dylan sighed heavily. "And who was your roommate?"

"Lyric Sterling." I didn't miss the way their gazes snapped to one another.

Hudson and Dylan clearly knew the name, which both surprised me and didn't. The Sterling family was, after all, very wealthy. I had known that for a long time, and based on what Lyric said, her dad's company was not fully legit. Based on the fact that Sampson worked for them and was planning on torturing Lyric, it was clear that there was a lot that I didn't know or understand about their family dynamics.

All I knew was that they were not normal. Not that
