Marenah

Dammit. I should have known he would figure it out, but now that he has, I either need to come clean or lie. If it were just me, I might be tempted to tell a small little untruth, figure out a way to get myself out, and just disappear. Unfortunately, it’s not only me and Matt, but Jay and Sasha that will be impacted by however this turns out as well.

The Italian Family will not take kindly to having both Jay and Matt, who are supposed to take over their security teams, intertwined with the Russian and Chicago families, but will like it even less if they find out what I do for a living. I’m still contemplating when his voice cuts through my thoughts and he slides his plate over toward me with a half of a sandwich.

“Marenah, I need the truth, Princess,” Matt says, lifting my chin so that my eyes have nowhere to go except his deep grey steely ones.

I take a few bites, contemplating my next move while he watches me, before I place my finger on his lips and gesture for him to follow me. “I can’t tell you what you want to know. This relationship may be short lived, but we have a little bit of time,” I say, grasping his shirt and dragging him slowly toward the bathroom. I run my fingers over his lip, to keep him silenced before we close the door to the bathroom. I pull a switch that starts the overhead fan, turn the water on full blast, and then press a finger to my lips, letting him know without a word that I’m still not comfortable in our surroundings. He sends a text to his team, and I can only surmise it’s to turn off the mics wherever they are, and when he’s finished just looks down at me. “Tell me.”

“I can’t divulge who I work for, Matt, but what I can tell you is that if the shoes were reversed, you would be doing the same thing. I’m trying to help people, innocent people that are being snatched from their lives and sold. You need to understand. These people are sisters, daughters, nieces, brothers, sons, and nephews. They take the young and snatch them right out of their very lives. They used to take young women, now they take young girls and boys, too. I don’t have long Matt, or an entire truckload of people will be gone, vanished, right into the hands of the people I’m trying to find. I may not be who you think I am, but I’m not one of the bad guys,” I say.

His eyes have darkened. “Trafficking,” Matt grinds out.

“Yes, and it’s getting worse and worse. Every major city, and if we don’t do something, it’s just going to keep going.” I know I’ve been sworn to secrecy, but I haven’t told him who I work for, and if Matt and his men can help, especially in this one case, knowing what awaits these people on the other side, then I have to take the chance, the job be damned.
