Chapter 13

“You let her go up by herself. Noah, what the hell, man?” Luke stomped his way through the lobby toward the chair Noah had sunk into.

Noah glared, warning his brother to stop talking before the outburst made a public scene. It was the very reason he hadn’t argued with Emma in front of the two nurses. The last thing their family needed was to be remembered for being the last ones seen with Lucinda Craig’s niece—or whatever she was to the woman.

At least Luke took the hint. His brother’s mouth snapped shut and he sat on the arm of the chair across from Noah. Kara took up residence in the chair next to Luke and placed her hand on his thigh.

“It’s not like she can really go anywhere, Luke.

She doesn’t have a car or even her purse.” Kara patted the brown bag in her lap with her other hand.

Noah moved quickly, snatching the bag out of Kara’s lap and retreating to his seat.

Kara raised an eyebrow and Luke growled low in his chest.

“I’ll hold onto this for now.”

“What’s in it?” Kara asked, curiosity blooming in her bright blue eyes.

“We have to take her to the house, Noah,” Luke said, his voice low enough that none of the people milling around the lobby could hear.

“We can’t.”

“You can’t possibly have feelings for this girl in less than twenty-four hours.” Luke stood up but didn’t move toward Noah. Instead he focused on the television hanging on the wall a dozen feet away.

Noah turned his head and glanced at the screen. Emma’s picture popped up along with pictures of a man and woman—Arnold and Ericka Carrington, both found dead on their front lawn. Their throats slit. Holy shit. Who was this family? Average people didn’t get murdered and dumped on their front lawn.

Noah jumped up, his heart racing in his chest. Emma Carrington. Wealthy. Elite. Mixed up in some bad stuff. No regular person had armed mercenaries tracking them through the night with automatic rifles.

At least it explained why Lucy’s closet under the stairs had been stocked like a military locker with weapons and supplies. Genuine fear for Emma’s safety wrapped its claws around his chest and squeezed. It didn’t make sense that he cared so much about what happened to her. She’d been nothing but a pain-in-the-ass since she’d first lit him up with that damn stun gun.

But he couldn’t stop thinking about her. Her curvy but surprisingly strong body. Her soft dark blond hair. Her sparkling blue, intelligent eyes that expertly hid her emotions from the world. Whatever she’d lived through, Lucinda Craig was important to her. He couldn’t let this girl suffer at the hands of his family. She’d already lost her parents and probably didn’t even know it yet. She couldn’t lose her identity too.

His brother pulled out a cell phone and walked toward a row of vending machines.

“What are you doing?” Noah stood, taking a step toward his brother.

“I’m calling dad to tell him where we are. She’s not going to come with us easily.
