CHAPTER 7

Sam

The next morning, we head for her house after I call and talk to my boss. He understands and wishes me well.

“I sure hope you know what you’re doing!”

“Me too. But just so you know that guy might cause some trouble for you. He’s most likely gonna be pissed.

“That’s alright. We got the check already and I cashed it. No problems here.”

I chuckle and then tell him good-bye and hang up the phone. Lily still has a shell-shocked look on her face.

I wish I knew what to say or do to help her feel better. But it seems like there’s a lot going on here that she doesn’t know about.

She stands up and fiddles with her shirt. “I think we better get going.”

I nod my head and follow her out the door to my truck, helping her up into the big cab. She’s so tiny she actually needs a stepladder but that’s why she’s got me.

“Hey?” I ask her when we start driving towards her house. “Have you ever heard your parents talking about this girl at all?”

She shakes her head, her curls wild as hell and just flat-out gorgeous. “No. I’ve never heard a word.”

We get to her parents and there’s a cop car out front and I grimace. “Something tells me we’re about to hear a helluva lot,” I mutter under my breath.

I take her hand and help her out of my truck, trying to look casual when the cop catches a glimpse of us. His questioning look locks on our hands and he closes his notebook and starts towards us.

When he reaches us, we pull up and Lily steps closer to me. I hold her against my body when she trembles.

“Morning. I’m assuming you’re Liliana Sweet?” He asks. She nods and he sighs. “I thought as much.”

He follows us back up the drive and when we get to the top, Liliana’s parents are standing there, looking just as fresh and perfect as usual. Not even a hair out of place.

Mr. Sweet steps forward and tries to yank her away from me but she pulls back and all of a sudden we’re in a tug of war on the front lawn of this giant mansion. It’s a little surreal.

Until the cop hollers. “Hey!”

Everyone stops and Lily yanks her arm away and ducks into me like she’s hiding.

“Now, you people reported your daughter as a missing child.” He points at Lily when she flushes. “She’s obviously not a child.”

Mr. Sweet flushes. “She’s our child,” he insists stubbornly.

He glares at him, dropping his glasses down to really hit him. “You know that’s not what you were asked.” He turns to Lily. “How old are you?”

“Twenty-two,” she says softly.

He nods. “A legal adult. Capable of making her own decisions. And sure as hell not someone we’d roll out after a few hours looking for. You lied to the police and I could have you charged for that.” When both of her parents pale he just sighs.

“I won’t but if you cause any more trouble, I’ll likely change my mind.
