Chapter Fourteen

Dwayne

Cabin fever is starting to take hold of me. It’s been over twenty-four hours since I put that guy’s image into the system, and still I have fuck all information wise. It’s been through the criminal database of San Francisco, San Diego, and now it’s going through Los Angeles. I don’t like sitting on my ass waiting to know where I stand. James Scott has again warned me to stay put until I have a plan. The only thing I have got so far, is information on the girl’s body. Tuesday. She was arrested eighteen months ago at the young age of sixteen for soliciting, then disappeared off the radar. She has no immediate family, and her real name is, Zoe Harrington. Like Amber, she was fished off the street and caught up in Trent’s sick network. She was at that house the night I took Amber, and I think she has been sent as a message. A warning.

I lie my Glock 22 on the kitchen table as Amber comes out of the bedroom with a towel wrapped around her hair. She still doesn’t know about Tuesday, and I have no intention of telling her. I don’t know how close she was to this girl, and if I tell her, god knows how she’ll react. I have her back, and I’m not letting her out of my goddamn sight.

“You ever killed anyone?” she asks, casually.

I smirk lightly. “Yes.”

“How many?”

“Really?” My brow rises.

“Just curious.”

“Amber, war happens. Sometimes there’s no choice. It’s kill or be killed.”

“Survival?”

“Yeah.”

I look up at her as she goes into a kind of trance. She’s had no choice but to survive most of her life. If only she had a gun every time Trent laid his dirty fuckin fingers on her, she might have felt stronger. Strong enough to shoot his balls off anyhow.

I push out my chair as I stand, taking the gun off the table to slide in a 40 load cartridge.

“Meet me outside in five,” I say as she pulls the towel off her wet hair.

“Why?”

“You’ll see.” I make my way to the door.

The sun burns the back of my neck as I bend down to take several pieces of fire wood from the store. I make my way over to an old stone pillar that’s supposed to be used for fencing around the cabin, and set a piece of firewood on the top. I turn back to see Amber standing there, her wet hair poker straight, blowing in the gentle summer breeze.

“Come a little closer,” I call out to her, waving my gun.

Frowning at me she take several steps. “Are you going to show-off your shooting skills?”

“No, you are.” I make my way to her back, breathing in her sweet clean scent.

I bring my arms around her body, placing the handle of the gun in her hands.

“Solid grip,” I state, making sure my hands are around hers, so she doesn’t accidently fire. “Your grip has to be firm and confident.”

“I don’t feel very confident,” she utters nervously.
