Ooo000ooo

Her phone buzzed as we were parting ways – each one of us had a job to do. We’d lock this place down like Fort Knox. My brothers left me on personal guard duty, and I was more than happy to take on that job. Emmy stopped in the hallway and pulled out her phone. I walked up beside her. Her hands were trembling, and the phone fell from them to the floor.

I bent down to pick it up, but she said, “No.”

I stopped, still low to the ground and looking up at her. Her eyes were wide and filled with unshed tears. Her entire body shook. I grabbed the phone without looking at it and stood up, stepping close to Emmy.

“What is it?” I asked her. “Can I look at your phone?”

She hesitated a moment, but then nodded. I glanced down at her messages.

We have your father. If you don’t want us to hurt him, come back to Vegas now and we’ll go easy on you. If not…

Then there was a photo of a gun held to a man’s head. I assumed the man was her father. He had the same dark eyes and hair as her, and there was fear in his gaze. I didn’t even know the man and it filled me with unease and sadness.

I slipped the phone into my front pocket and pulled Emmy close. “It’s going to be alright.” I wrapped my arms around her, and she fell into my shoulder. Her body shook as she sobbed.

“They have my father,” she cried. “Graham, what am I going to do? He’s not a good man, but he’s still my dad. He’s the only family I have left.”

I wasn’t sure what we would do, but one thing I did know: I wasn’t letting her go back and risk her life for that bastard. The man had sold her to the Mafia, likely to save his own ass. He’d dug his own grave as far as I was concerned. I would do what I could to save him for Emmy’s sake, but I wasn’t letting her risk her life for his.

A second later, her phone rang. I was about to cancel the call and pulled it from my pocket, but she said, “Wait. Let me talk to them.” I wasn’t sure that was such a good idea, but she added, “It’s my dad’s phone number.”

She took the phone from my hand and picked up. “Dad?” her voice was shaking.

I couldn’t make out what her father said, but Emmy took a deep breath before speaking again. “I’m sorry, dad. I can’t do that. I can’t hand myself over to Antonio.” She paused, listening. “You shouldn’t have made this deal, Dad, and I’m sorry if they hurt you. You know I wouldn’t want that. But I have to take care of myself now.”

My heart swelled with pride as I listened to her stand up for herself. All the fears of her turning herself in to save her father subsided. She was crying, it clearly wasn’t an easy task for her, but she had the strength to say no.
