Chapter Eleven

Lany

My breath caught. “Sal?”

“Yeah, Lany, it’s me.”

“Oh, Sal, I thought…” I pressed my lips together when talking became too much. Just hearing the man’s voice was more than I had begun to hope for.

“I’m okay, Lany. I’m a little banged up, but nothing that even needs a doctor.”

“Where are you?” Lany whispered. “I’ll come get you.”

“No, don’t do that. I’m safe, but I’m not out of danger yet.”

“Sal—”

“I’m with Burke, caro. He’s going to get me home.”

“Burke?” I cried out. “But, he’s undercover.”

“I know, Lany.”

Oh.

“Are you sure you’re safe?”

“As safe as I can be under the circumstances.”

“I’m safe, too. I called Clarke after they took you and he’s had me under house arrest ever since.” I heard Sal breathe out, so I knew that was a question weighing heavy on his mind. “I wasn’t hurt, Sal. Just scared, especially when they tossed you in the cab and took you away.”

“You weren’t hurt?”

“No, not even a scratch.”

“That’s”—Sal cleared his throat—“that’s real good, Lany.”

“Come home, Sal. I need to see you.”

“I’m on my way, caro. I promise.”

I needed it to be now.

“Let me talk to Clarke, Lany. I need to get him working on a few things so we can catch these assholes.”

“What?”

“I’ll explain everything when I get home, Lany.”

“Okay, Sal.” I didn’t want to let go of the phone. It was my only lifeline to my love. But, I also knew Sal wanted to get Clarke moving on tracking the guys who had taken him. I wanted that too. I just wanted Sal more.

“Clarke,” I called out when I walked out of the bedroom. I held out the phone. “It’s Sal.”

The man’s eyebrows rose swiftly. “Sal’s on the line?”

I nodded.

Clarke rushed across the room to me. I had to bite my lip to keep from shouting at him when he took the phone out of my hand. I wanted to continue to talk to Sal until he was back in my arms again. It was the only way I could be sure he was coming back to me.

When Clarke started walking away from me, I hurried after him. If I had my way, I wasn’t going to be out of a five-foot range of that phone until Sal walked through the door. I didn’t pay attention to exactly what Clarke said, so I was a little surprised when Lyn started tapping away on his laptop.

“When he is coming home?” I asked when there seemed to be a lull in the conversation.

Clarke held the phone out to me.

“Sal?”

“I’m on my way, caro. I promise. Just as soon as I get off the phone with you.”

“No, I—”

“Lany, I’ll be riding on Burke’s motorcycle. I won’t be able to talk with you.”

I blinked. “Burke has a motorcycle?”

“I think it’s a guilty pleasure, Lany.”

Even I knew what that meant.

“He’s not going to get into trouble, is he?”

Sal mumbled something before speaking to me again. “He says he’s good to go for the next couple of days. He’s going to hang at the penthouse with us.
