Chapter Sixteen

Annabelle

Maisie had fallen asleep three hours ago, and I hadn’t slept at all in that time. I couldn’t. My mind wouldn’t let me. It was too full of everything that had taken place earlier. I’d learned so much about Peaches, about the men now tasked with keeping me and the little girl pressed up against me, safe. The only thing I could focus on was just how little I knew about the people around me.

Peaches was some kind of government hacker or spy or something along those lines. The man I’d been sharing my body and my bed with was a biker and some kind of black ops specialist. I still didn’t have all the details, which told me one thing: this wasn’t where I belonged. If it was, I’d know a lot more about these people. I realized that even though I considered Peaches my best friend, it was clear that sentiment was not returned. We didn’t have that kind of friendship, apparently. But those thoughts weren’t helpful right now so I shoved them deep down and turned back to the present.

Peaches was kidnapped, very likely by some type of government g-man with no real name or birth certificate. Probably didn’t even have any fingerprints. But she wasn’t just kidnapped. I saw how she grabbed her stomach on the big screen TV when that man walked her out. She was pregnant. And considering my friend’s sassy mouth, there was a good chance she’d get hurt—or killed. I couldn’t think about that right now because the only thing I could do to help was keep this little girl safe.

Maisie slept peacefully, her body snuggled up to mine with such confidence. Such trust. Her right arm and right leg were flung across my midsection, her head resting on my shoulder while her long hair hung across my neck. She was such a sweet little kid, so trusting and precocious and certain in the love of every adult in her orbit.

I would do everything I could to make sure she remained in that sweet, happy bubble. But sleep wouldn’t come, and if I lie here awake any longer, all the moving around would wake her. Since I hadn’t heard a bunch of bikes descend on the ranch yet, I figured we were still alone. I slid my feet into slippers and checked the window before creeping, quietly, downstairs. The small creaks and squeaks kept my nerves on edge.

Tea. Definitely tea and maybe some of Martha’s cookies would relax my mind enough that I could get a few hours of sleep in before Maisie woke up. Without sleep I wouldn’t be focused and without that focus I couldn’t keep my word to Peaches. I couldn’t keep Maisie safe. So…cookies and tea.

The kitchen was dark aside from the light above the stove. It shed just the perfect amount of light on a night like this where the stars and the moon were shining bright. That and too much light would make it easy to see right inside the windows.
