Chapter Thirteen

Rosie

My heart felt as if it were riding on the back of a motorbike, speeding down a bumpy road unable to do anything but cling onto my body for dear life. I rubbed my sweaty palms against my jeans and breathed in and out, in and out, in and out.

This was all too much for me to handle. Scooter stealing my boy. The FBI coming after me. A strange and sexy man swooping in to save my life.

I closed my eyes and dropped my head against the leather seat in Franklin’s car, dragging deep breaths of cool air in through my nose. His car smelled new and clean and crisp, like he hadn’t had it for very long. And expensive. How could a man like Franklin afford a car like this?

I also couldn’t help but wonder why he was trying so hard to help me. Any man in his right mind would just turn me over to the FBI. He’d even worked for the agency in the past. Surely he knew hiding me from them would only drag him deeper into this mess. He didn’t even know me. I was just some random girl he’d stumbled upon on a rainy night out at a bar.

One thought broke through my cloudy brain, and it was one I couldn’t ignore. Franklin had to be hiding something. I was certain of it. The way he held a guard over his eyes, and the way he spoke his words. It was as if he was hyper aware of everything he said and did.

Opening my eyes, I stared out the front windshield at the familiar road stretching away from the parking lot of the hotel. It led away from the interstate exit and into the heart of the small town where I’d spent my entire childhood. This place was my home, but being here felt claustrophobic, like if I stayed too long it would settle in around me, trap my arms and legs to the ground and never let me leave again.

I shivered.

Even though I knew Franklin might be hiding something, I had to go with him. Leaving Owen with his asshole of a father for one second longer was the last thing I wanted to do, but if the FBI was going to swoop in at any moment, it would do neither of us any good if I got caught. What would happen to Owen then? Franklin had said he’d come up with a plan to get Owen back for good just as soon as he had time to think things through. And right now, that was the only thing I had to hold onto.

The driver’s side door cracked open, and Franklin slid into the car. His face was stony, his muscles tense. Every inch of his skin rippled as he moved. My heart began to hammer hard again. Something about this guy put my whole body on edge.

“Ready?” he asked, though I could tell it wasn’t really a question. He was driving us out of here whether I was ready to leave or not.
