Chapter 12

Kai

I leave the zombie paintball place in a mad dash, fear plaguing my every thought as I text Kyler. When he doesn’t respond, I try to call. He doesn’t answer, which adds fuel to my rage.

If I find out he had anything to do with this, he will pay. Big time. I just don’t know why he’d do all of this for the flash drive. And how did he even know about the flash drive? The only people who know are Big Doug, Isa, me, Indigo, and I think Isa might have finally said something to her grandma Stephy the other night. So someone told the wrong person, or I’m wrong about Kyler being the one doing this.

My heart nearly stops dead at the thought. What if this isn’t Kyler? What if some psycho has Isa?

I can barely concentrate on anything else other than getting to Isa as I dash across the gravel parking lot for the car. I need to get to her, need to save her more than I need to breathe. This day wasn’t supposed to end like this. Nothing is supposed to end like this.

How could I let this happen?

When I make it to Isabella’s grandma’s car, I realize I don’t even have the keys. Thankfully, the doors are unlocked. I climb inside, raid the car until I find a screwdriver in the glove box, and use it to hotwire the car. Once the engine is running, I speed off toward the apartment, hoping Isabella’s grandma isn’t there, or else I might have to explain to her why I’m driving around in her car without her granddaughter.

As I make the ten-minute drive, I rack my brain for the right way to do this. Should I call someone and tell them what’s going on? The note said not to, but I’m worried this is more than just some asshole getting their kicks and giggles from tormenting Isa. And then there was the threat about never seeing Isa again if I showed up with someone. If I screw this up, Isa could end up hurt.

But what if they’ve already hurt her?

Knots wind inside my stomach, and I clench the life out of the steering wheel until my knuckles turn white.

Dammit! How could I let this happen! And what if I bring the flash drive, but they don’t give me back Isa? What if they’ve done something to her?

I slam my fist against the steering wheel. “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”

By the time I pick up the flash drive from the apartment, I’m on the verge of losing it. Rage and guilt coincide inside me, ready to burst. I need to come up with a better plan than showing up at the address and hoping everything works out okay. I need help, but the right help, someone who can keep an eye on things without getting noticed. Someone who can help if the bastards don’t give me Isa.

Digging my phone out of my back pocket, I dial my friend Jules’ number as I jog back to the car with the flash drive tucked into my boot.
