Chapter 15

Leti

With my arms crossed over my chest, I walked down the street. I had no idea how long I had been walking or how long I had been gone, but the sun was beginning to sink pretty low in the sky. The dust kicked up around me, and there was nothing for miles. I passed small restaurants and bars every once in a while, but other than that it was open road and desert. I sighed. I knew I’d have to go back to Jace’s eventually. I couldn’t leave my emptied suitcase there.

But I didn’t want to go back.

I sighed and kept walking. The meeting at Sebastian’s place had been terrible. Horrendous. A disgusting way for me to spend my day. I took a taxi with the last of the money I had on me, and I was held at gunpoint while they sifted through my luggage. Sebastian kept raking his eyes over me. Like if he looked at me long enough, I’d drop my panties for him. The man holding me with the gun clenched my neck a little tighter than I would have liked and the man standing at the door smacked my ass on the way out.

At least I hadn’t been bent over a couch at that time, though.

Thankfully, the sick ruse stuck. Sebastian told me I looked horrible. Said if I puked on his carpet he’d have me stripped and beaten. Those types of threats used to scare me. Threaten me. But they didn’t anymore. They’d become another common occurrence in the pathetic life I led. After removing their drugs from my suitcase, they put everything back in and tossed it to me, smacking me in the stomach with it.

And before I left, Sebastian handed me a wad of cash. Much more than I could have ever needed for just one last job.

Which meant this next venture wasn’t the last job.

I felt tears crest my eyes as the clay mountains rose in the forefront of my vision. I should have known this wouldn’t have been the last mission. That I wouldn’t have seen my brother. That they wouldn’t have let me go. They hadn’t for two months. Why would they have let me go now? As much as I hated to admit it, Jace was right. Not only was the cartel not living up to anything regarding their word, but I still couldn’t get Sebastian to show me proof of life.

No picture, no voice call. Nothing.

Fear gripped my chest, and I stopped walking. I became hard to breathe. I made my way to a bench and sat down on the side of the deserted road as tears fell down my cheeks. He couldn’t be dead. Could he? I’d know. He was my brother. I’d feel it in the pit of my gut. That was how it always was with us. The first fight he ever got into in middle school, where his nose got broken. When he got arrested in high school for something stupid and innocent.
