Chapter 22

Quinn

“I can’t call Alek. If we go back to the suite for our phones, who knows what will be waiting for us there? The guy who got away might be there now.” Val tugs at her ponytail, something she seems to do a lot when her ideas dry up like the fucking Mojave.

We took a gamble and walked around until we found an entirely different set of service stairs. Well, she walked. I hobbled against her. Without phones, we have no ability to call for help or an Uber. And looking down at my bloody side, I don’t know how the hell anyone’s gonna let me slide into a cab and bleed all over the seat.

I hang on to Val tight, wincing with every step while trying not to look like a complete pussy because my side fucking burns like I’ve been dipped in the flames of Hell. We take flight after flight of stairs until we find a service elevator. It stinks of old garbage, but I’d gladly inhale that stench if it means I can stand still for a few minutes. I hunch over, holding an arm over my wound. Val paces the elevator car.

“Okay, all we need to do is get to a cab. Then we can head to the safehouse and can call Alek. He’ll get a doctor.”

“If I make it that long.” I let out a weak snicker, but there’s a hair of truth in my words. My leg’s already starting to numb from blood loss, and I keep having to blink fast to clear my blurred vision. I’ve been shot plenty, but this time feels different. I really hope it’s not because I’m dying, because I need to fuck my fake wife at least once more before that happens.

She turns to look at me with actual concern in her eyes.

I knew she liked me.

“You’re going to make it. And we’re going to come up with a new plan.” The elevator stops on the parking deck level. The doors creak open. She loops an arm around my waist and leads me into the concrete space. There are a few lights along the ceiling for us to follow toward what I hope is an underground cab stand.

It’s still too bright.

Anyone waiting for a cab will see the blood.

“Val, what the hell are we doing? There’s no way people don’t see me and call the cops,” I grunt, sucking air through my teeth.

“Relax, I’ve got it.” She looks forward and backward, and I try not to fall over. She drags me the last few steps toward a bunch of parked cars.

Fuck me.

This must be the whale wing.

Lambos, Bentleys, Ferraris, a Rolls.

The stench of skunk hits my nostrils. A few feet away, a couple of valets are sharing a joint. A stream of smoke wafts into the air. Val leans me against a wall hidden by a large column.

“Stay here and don’t move.”

Then she jogs over to the guys. A few seconds later, her high-pitched laughter echoes between the walls.
