Chapter Twelve

Bree

I curled up under extra blankets on the motel bed. It was the only way to get Nathan to stop hovering over me.

"Just try to sleep. Everything's fine," he said.

I heard him pace back and forth before settling down at the small table in the corner of our motel room. He scratched at his stubbled chin and shifted uneasily in the chair, but tried to stay quiet so I could rest.

I felt like screaming. Every car door slamming outside made me think those men were marching toward our thin door. Footsteps outside our room forced cold sweat from my body. I pulled the covers over my head and tried to breathe.

I needed time to think, but my mind leaped at every sound. Strange men were after us, after Nathan, and they had guns. He had assured me they didn't want to shoot us, but what he really meant was they didn't intend to harm him. I, on the other hand, was just some pawn they could probably use to make Nathan do what they wanted.

He heard me squirming in my panic. "They have no idea which way we went. And the police are looking for them now. There's no way they'll find us here," Nathan said.

I threw off the covers and sat up. "What about the police?" I snapped. "Shouldn't we be the ones going to the police?"

Nathan rubbed his forehead. "We can't. You know that."

I glanced over to the shoebox and remembered the bricks of cocaine. A dizzy wave crashed over me again, and I was glad I was sitting on the bed. Still, I braced myself against the faded bedspread and had to wait for the world to right itself again.

We needed help but we couldn't go to the police. Who else was there?

"Don't worry," Nathan said for the hundredth time. "I've got a plan."

"A plan?" My breath hitched over a heavy knot of disbelief. "What kind of a plan is going to save us from armed henchmen and keep us out of jail? We don't even know why they're after you."

Nathan winced when I put the emphasis on him. They weren't after me, the cocaine wasn't mine, and maybe the gunmen would just assume I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"The best place for both of us is on the road," Nathan said. "We're safe for now but when it gets dark, we're getting out of town."

I wrapped the blankets around me again. "How are we going to do that? What if they are watching this place right now?"

Nathan shook his head, not willing to believe we were in that much trouble. "It's taken them this long to make a move; they must be having trouble tracking me down."

"That doesn't mean they are getting closer," I said.

"All right, you're right," Nathan muttered. "The best plan is to try to change our appearances; throw them off. I'm going to shave and trim back my hair." He got up and headed toward the tiny motel room bathroom.
