Chapter Ten

Tali’s captors didn’t linger too long in the city. Instead, they headed out onto the freeway, apparently wanting to get away from the scene as much as possible. In that regard, Tali agreed with them. In everything else, he suspected they might not see eye to eye.

“Where are you taking me?” Tali asked calmly. He’d decided to take things in stride. All things considered, his current situation wasn’t much better than his previous one. Rachen might have been insane, but at least he’d cared about Tali in his own way. These people clearly didn’t like him, or at least didn’t like the man they thought he was, Sareltae.

The older woman in particular, Elizabeth, kept throwing venomous glances his way. She never once subsided in her watchful glares. Obviously, any gratitude she might have had for his assistance with rescuing the injured had disappeared. “And don’t you have anything better to do than to glower at me?” Tali inquired, exasperated.

“I’d advise you not to cross my wife,” the man said, “but I’m afraid it’s a little too late for that.”

After that, they all succumbed to silence. Tali could have possibly thrown a shield around himself and jumped out of the car, but he decided to just wait and see what would happen. He suspected Elizabeth could and would hurt him if he tried to escape, and while she didn’t particularly scare him, these people were the only ones who had any information at all regarding his identity. If he left and attempted to search for his mate on his own, he might as well be looking for a needle in the proverbial hay stack.

Soon, though, the oppressive quiet became too much for him. True, the car didn’t come equipped with transport enclosures, but Tali still felt like a criminal in the back seat of the vehicle. “I haven’t done anything wrong, and you have no reason and no right to treat me like this.”

“Maybe we don’t,” Elizabeth replied. “But in our world, we can never be too careful.”

Tali rolled his eyes at her words. In the end, her opinion was irrelevant. Once he got his answers, he was out of here, and not even they, with all their fancy weapons, could stop him. Looking out the window of the car, Tali spotted a road marker saying, Youngsville, 3 miles. He hoped this was their destination, because he’d started to lose his patience.

Fortunately, this guess was proven correct when they entered the small town. James veered off a side road and at last parked in front of a two-story house. “All right,” he said, unbuckling his seat belt. “All of us should get our answers soon enough.”

All of them left the vehicle, with Elizabeth still pointing the gun at Tali, albeit more discreetly. Behind them, the second car parked and the younger two members of the family, Raleigh and Caroline, exited it. The ambulance hadn’t yet arrived, having probably gone to deliver the injured from the scene to the hospital.

“Got any answers out of him yet?” Raleigh asked.
