Kayla rushed out from the cover of the brush toward the road at the sight of the sports car driving toward them. Relief washed through her. From what she’d heard, hitchhiking wasn’t as popular as it once was, but hopefully whoever was driving the car coming toward them would feel sorry for them and offer them a ride back to the city.

She stepped closer to the road.

“Kayla, stop! That’s Nicu’s vehicle behind them.”

“What?”

Levi pulled her back into the shadows of the overgrown brush. She dropped down onto the ground and lay still beside him. The only movement was her heart pounding at the fatal mistake she’d almost made.

But had Nicu seen them? There was no way at this point to know for sure.

Her lungs felt as if they were about to burst. She’d known they’d come looking for them. She should have been more careful. Because if they had seen her and Levi...

She watched the silver Porsche drive past. The knot in her stomach tightened. Nicu’s car slowed down as it came closer to them.

Please, God...don’t let him see us.

Kayla pressed her hands into the ground as the car passed where they were crouched in the dirt. She could see Nicu look intently into the brush where they lay, but he didn’t stop. Maybe he hadn’t seen them.

“How in the world are we supposed to get out of here?” she whispered.

“I don’t know.”

She watched as the sedan continued down the road until it was almost out of sight. “You think they’re heading back to the city?”

“Not yet. I think he’s still looking for us.”

She knew he was right. Nicu was driving too slowly. Searching the terrain for a sign of them. She was still afraid to move. If they found her, they’d do more than simply ask her a bunch of questions this time.

Her cell rang in her pocket. She fumbled for the phone, regretting not putting it on vibrate. But Nicu’s car just kept moving forward.

She checked out the caller ID before quickly turning down the sound.

The number was blocked.

“Are you sure he can’t track us or monitor this call?” she asked.

“If they could track us, they would have already found us.” Levi glanced at the phone. “You think it’s him?”

The phone was still ringing.

She drew in a deep breath, nodded, then answered the phone and put it on speaker.

“Don’t think this is over or that you’ve won.” She immediately recognized Nicu’s voice.

“What do you want?”

“Bottom line? I believe you don’t know where Mercy is, but I also believe you can find her. Which means our old deal is back in play.”

“We never had a deal. You kidnapped my father and now are trying to use him as leverage.”

“Just listen carefully. I’m giving you twenty-four more hours to find her. I’ll send you a text at this time tomorrow morning, telling you where we will meet.”

She glanced at Levi, wondering when this was going to be over.

“If you keep your end of the deal,” Nicu continued, “I’ll let your father go.
