Chapter 12

Reed

We didn't have a lot of time to plan, I knew, because as soon as Tanek realized I wasn't on the plane, he would know that Tomas and Kai were helping me, and there wouldn't be any doubt as to what they were helping me do. The last thing we needed was for Tanek to either call the police or to add more security around the girls. I was pretty sure he wouldn't do the former, not now that I had Kai and Tomas helping me. He knew they'd seen what he'd done to Nami and since they'd been her long-term bodyguards, their word would carry a lot more weight with the king and queen than mine would. In fact, if the king and queen had been in Saja, I would've been tempted just to go to them, but they wouldn't be back until Wednesday and we couldn't wait that long.

While we waited for Tomas to join us at Kai's apartment, I took a shower and changed into clean clothes. When I came out of the bathroom, Kai had food waiting. By the time Tomas arrived, I was feeling relatively alert, though I gratefully accepted one of the energy drinks that Kai handed out as we settled around his small kitchen table.

Tomas took a drink and then spoke, “Shortly after the wedding, Tanek removed Kai and me from Princess Nami's detail. He convinced the king and queen that it would be better if Kai and I moved to protect Princess Halea as she would be coming of age. We assumed Princess Nami asked to have us moved because...” He hesitated and then shrugged. “Because of you and everything that happened when we were in Paris and Venice.”

“Oh.” I grimaced. “Sorry.”

He shook his head. “We see now that it was not the princess. Tanek replaced half of the guards with his own men. I can see now that Tanek knew he would not be able to harm the princess while she was under our protection.”

“You may have been able to arrange time alone with the princess,” Kai said. “But we knew that was because she wished it. If she did not, we would have stopped you.”

“And we would have stopped him,” Tomas said.

“We'll stop him now,” I said.

The men nodded.

“And you two being Halea's guards is going to work in our favor.” A plan was slowly forming. “We need to get her away someplace safe before Nami will even consider leaving. If I have the two of you taking care of Halea, then I can just worry about Nami.”

“It will not be enough to simply remove them from the palace,” Tomas said.

“Yeah,” I said dryly. “I figured that one out all on my own.”

Tomas glanced at Kai and then looked at me. “One of the reasons we thought you would be able to help us is that you have resources that we do not.”

Ah. Right. Money. A lightbulb went off. Not just money, but connections outside of Saja. I had the resources to get the princesses out of the country.
