30.

(Noah)

I burst through the apartment door and feared the worst. It looked completely normal, until I looked down the hallway. There was Ashlynn, sitting against her bedroom door, holding Jude in one arm and Leah resting in her other arm. The poor young girl was curled up and looked like she was sleeping.

“What happened?” I asked Ashlynn.

Leah stirred and woke up. She looked at me and her eyes went wide. “Are we safe?”

I crouched down. “We’re safe, yeah. Nothing to worry about when I’m here.”

I looked at Ashlynn and nodded.

“Three men came in,” Ashlynn said. “One kept Leah on the couch. The other two took me into my mother’s room. They demanded something. Then they took a picture and said something about coming back for money. My mother doesn’t have any money, Noah. She’s sick. She’s broke.”

Money? This was about money?

“Did they touch you?” I asked.

“One of them grabbed my neck.”

“Fuck,” I growled. “And Jude?”

He slept the entire time.

My son looked at me, eyes big and innocent. I reached out and touched his soft head.

“What about you?” I asked Leah.

“Nobody touched me,” she said.

“Three men?” I asked.

“Yes,” Ashlynn said. “They were in and out in a few minutes. Like they knew what they wanted. Like they went right into that room…”

My head spun. And it took me back to one scenario. Standing there with Benito. Dante whispering something into Benito’s ear. Could all this shit be connected? Did Benito send people to the apartment to check on things? Looking for money was an easy ploy. And if whoever broke in really wanted money they would have went through the rest of the apartment. The living room. Ashlynn’s purse. Leah’s bag. Whatever Ashlynn may have had in her bedroom.

I looked at Leah, then at Ashlynn, then at Jude.

“Goddammit,” I whispered. “Leah, you need to go home, girl. Get out of here and out of this danger.”

Leah started to cry.

“What’s her problem?” I asked Ashlynn.

“You really want to know?” she asked.

I really didn’t… but I found out anyway.
