Chapter Eleven

Cason

I brush the food off the plates and into the trash, before putting them in the sink. My mind is abuzz with so many thoughts. She wants to stay here with me for a week or longer. Not because we have to, but because she wants to hang out. Could there be another reason behind it? She made it sound like she couldn’t live without me, and most people don’t think of people they see as siblings in that sense. At least, I never had. I would be devastated if one of my siblings died, but I would be able to carry on without them.

My hands shake as I think about Josie dying, I wouldn’t be able to do it. I don’t think I would be able to function, or I wouldn’t want to. If this all turned out different and I had to put her down, I don’t think I would be able to handle it. I would get the job done, but in the process, I would follow her. Then Michail could think that It was a murder-suicide. He might hold it against my family, but the culprit who took his daughter away from him would be dead. There would be no revenge to be had.

I shake my head. I shouldn’t be thinking about things like that. She’s already said she won’t say anything. I can watch her for the next week to make sure that’s true. In the end, none of us will know what she’s going to do until we get her back to civilization, but I can at least try to make her fully see we aren’t the bad guys. At least, not when it comes to her.

My phone buzzes in the pocket of my black sweats. I’ve been wearing the same thing since everything went down. I don’t care for baths, but I’ll take anything right now, just so I don’t feel like I stink in front of her.

I pull my phone out. Michail. I figured he would be calling me soon. I already reported to him that Sacha never showed for the shipment and that I would be out looking for him in all his usual haunts.

“Hey. I haven’t been able to find him. It’s like he disappeared out of the city. Don’t worry, I’ll catch the bastard. He’ll be dead soon.”

Michail growls from the other end. “That bastard took Josie!”

I growl back, making sure it uses the real emotion I would have if it had happened like that. The man would be dead a thousand times over if he’d actually taken her. “What do you mean he took Josie? I watched him drop her off at home before I went to wait for him at the bakery.”

“I don’t fucking know. All I know is her friend called in a panic. She said that Josie got an alert on her phone about a security problem at the bakery and went to check it out. Apparently, my little girl doesn’t listen and had cameras set up in the back.
