~ Eighteen ~

The boy curled up on his side on the guest room bed while I looked through my suitcase for something to tie his wrists and ankles. I had put Christian in a cab before I took to the air with the unconscious boy in my arms. The front door opened and slammed shut as I pulled a scarf out of my bag. It would be best to at least tie his arms up for now.

“What the hell are you doing?” Christian threw the bedroom door open, letting it slam against the wall.

“What are you talking about?”

“Do you realize we are now kidnappers? What were you thinking, Lily? I said help him, not tie him up like some prisoner!” His voice was harsher than ever and I froze on the spot.

“It’s not like we kidnapped some innocent! This kid has been following us around since we got here: first, on the street when we were walking to the mall, then at the mall, at the beach, at the show, and now this. Do you honestly mean to tell me what I’m doing is wrong? As soon as he’s conscious he’ll run. I won’t let that happen until I get answers.” I went to work tying his wrists. He groaned a bit but didn’t open his eyes.

“It is wrong, Lily. Someone’s going to be looking for him. He’s just a boy. He must have family,” Christian sat on the bed next to him to examine his neck. “Is he going to be okay?”

“Of course, he is. We didn’t take much. He’ll sleep it off for a while.”

“We need to get him out of here before he wakes up. That’s best, I think.”

“No! I want to know who he is. I want to know who sent him. He’s not going anywhere until he talks.”

“Is it that important? Are you willing to get in trouble over this?” He came to stand behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

I pushed him away and turned. “I’m tired of this, Christian. I wanted normal! This isn’t normal! We’re on our honeymoon and we’re being pursued. Why does it always have to be us?”

“Maybe they’re after us for money. They can clearly see we’re tourists. If they know anything about Aloysius then they know he has money, plenty of it,” he reasoned. I shook my head.

“Then why not wait until we’re out and rob us? Why go to all this trouble to follow us everywhere we go? That kid was not only spying on us, but he even admitted he was sent to kill you. Why?”

“I don’t know.” He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping boy’s face. “I guess we will have to wait to get our answers.”

“Christian,” I sat next to him, took his hand, and stared at my lap. “I’m sorry I’m so on edge, but I wanted this trip to be perfect and it’s been nothing but problems.”

His hand, gentle on my chin, drew my face toward his.
