Chapter Eighteen

Rebecca realized too late they had walked into a trap. She had an uneasy feeling even her missing keys were part of the ploy. Now they were all in serious trouble. While Rebecca fought to escape the grip of the ruffian who held her captive, another man struggled to keep Carmen under control. Justyn and Tom took a few tentative steps forward, down the steps onto the concrete slab where they faced their adversaries.

“Don’t move or we’ll snap their pretty little necks.”

The two guys exchanged nervous glances as the gruff voice issued the warning. Rebecca couldn’t see her aggressor, but his grip over her mouth tightened. Something tasted bitter, and she wasn’t sure if it was sweat from his palm or if she had bitten her lip in the struggle. She wanted to fight back—to make him regret ever putting his filthy hands on her, but she was overwhelmed with panic. It wasn’t fear for her own well-being that paralyzed her. If it was only her life at stake, she would have fought as hard as she had when Livy was trying to shove those sleeping pills down her throat. However, there was a tiny, defenseless being inside her who could easily become a casualty. It was only the thought of harming the baby that kept Rebecca from kicking and clawing at her attacker with everything she had. Carmen, however, had nothing holding her back and was proving much less docile.

“Get your hands of me, you pig! Aghhhh!”

Carmen swore and screamed at the top of her lungs. Her angry shrieks and barrage of vulgar words in both Spanish and English echoed across the empty streets. If anyone was out there, it would have to raise suspicions. Unfortunately, it was one o’clock in the morning, and the streets were barren. Most of the businesses on Beach Drive had long since closed and the well-to-do tourists had retired to their hotel rooms. Any passing cars wouldn’t be able to see the fray hidden in between the tall buildings that surrounded them.

“Condenado! Let me go!”

Carmen continued to struggle, but her assailant was big and brawny. As spunky as she was, her blows were ignored and she was growing weaker. Soon she would be as defenseless as Rebecca. Justyn and Tom were on their guard, taking in the situation. Rebecca could almost hear them contemplating a plan to set their girlfriends free, even if it meant putting themselves at risk. Rebecca sent a silent plea for them to run, even though she knew neither Tom nor Justyn would even consider deserting them. However, if they attacked, it would be nothing but a suicide mission. There was no way two scrawny guys could overcome the four remaining men, all of whom looked as though they’d stepped out of a professional wrestling ring.

“Tell us what you want,” Tom offered, lifting up his hands to show he was no threat. “Our wallets? We don’t have much in them, but we’ll toss them over. We’ll give you whatever you want.
