Chapter Twelve

Sophia startled awake when the car came to a sudden stop. She hadn’t meant to fall asleep, but once the adrenaline wore off her body just seemed to shut down. The balled-up shirt underneath her cheek smelled like sweat, as well as something spicy and earthy like freshly turned soil. Hunt had probably been wearing it for days. She should have been disgusted, but instead the scent was strangely alluring. Part of her wanted to burrow deeper. That, combined with the steady thrum of tires on pavement, had been enough to lull her to sleep.

“Hey!”

Opening her eyes, she blinked against the bright sunlight and realized he’d been talking to her. “Sorry, I didn’t hear you.”

Sitting up, she pushed away from the door. It took a minute for her eyes to adjust to the brightness as she took in her surroundings. They were parked in front of a seedy roadside motel. The parking lot was mostly empty: just a few semi-trucks and an expanse of gray asphalt with bits of grass and weeds growing out of the cracks in the pavement. The place looked like something out of a horror movie, even down to the lit vacancy sign blowing gently in the wind. It hung from a single wire under a marquee that read Lakeside Motel.

She’d bet the nearest lake was at least a hundred miles away.

“We’re staying here?”

“You see that kid in there?” Hunt nodded to the little glass enclosure inside the building where she could just make out the shape of a person sitting behind the desk. The attendant looked even younger than her, maybe eighteen or so.

“Yeah.”

“I’m going to go get us a room. If you leave this car or try to signal for help, I’m shooting that kid there in the face. You don’t want that on your conscience, right?”

And then Hunt had to say something like that. Fucking psycho.

“Yeah, I got it.”

She handed him his shirt when he held out a hand.

Hunt got out of the car and stepped out into the deserted parking lot. She heard the click of the door locks when he was already a few feet away, so he must have hit the button on the remote. Without air-conditioning, heat pressed into her from the cage of metal and trapped air. It was like being locked in a sauna.

Because she needed another reason to be sweating bullets.

Hunt’s walk was loping and long-legged as he strode toward the building. When he got to the
