CHAPTER 11

Luca

The next morning, we return to the safe house. Though our date was fun, we can’t do it every day. It’s too risky. But having that night with Nat really made all the difference. I feel more connected to her than ever.

However, this blissful feeling doesn’t last long as I pull into the driveway. Something is wrong. I know it.

Nothing is out of order. But in my gut, I know someone is here. I’ve lived my life undergoing stressful situation after stressful situation. I know when something doesn’t feel right.

“Luca?” Nat asks.

“Stay in the car,” I tell her.

“Why? What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. But I need to check it out.” I get out of the car. “Get behind the wheel in case you need to drive away.” She slides over into the driver’s seat.

“Be careful, Luca. Please.”

I wink at her. “I always am.”

I keep my gun drawn as I approach the house. My eyes and ears are peeled for anything, but it’s all so quiet. Cautiously, I open the front door and back up, waiting to see if anything happens. But nothing does.

I inch forward into the house. If someone is here, I might be able to catch them by surprise.

I check the kitchen and the living room, but there’s nothing. When I turn to walk down the hallway, I stop. The mirror over the fireplace is pointing down the hallway. Revealing the open bedroom door. I know I shut it before we left. Someone’s here.

I take light steps as I move down the hallway. When I push the door open fully, nothing happens. No one comes running out. I’m almost disappointed.

But then I take a step inside, and that’s when I feel it. The blow to my back. I stumble forward and turn around, raising my gun, but it gets knocked out of my hands. It’s only then I see who’s in the house.

It’s fucking Romeo. With a gun pointed at me.

“No more games, Luca,” he growls. I jump behind the bed as he starts firing. My gun is a few feet away, but I’ll have to move and risk getting shot again. “This is the end.”

“How did you find me?”

“It wasn’t hard to track you when word got out that you took some doctor hostage. I followed the breadcrumbs from there.”

“How smart. Good for you, Romeo. Didn’t know you had it in you.”

He starts walking into the room. “I’m going to fucking kill you, Luca.”

Just then, Nat’s voice rings out. “Luca? Are you ok? I hear gun shots.”

Shit. Why couldn’t Nat just listen to me and stay in the car like I told her?

Romeo is backing out of the room. I know he’s going after her.

“Get back to the car, Nat!” I shout as I dive for my gun.

I head Nat gasp and then the sound of frantic footsteps. Romeo is just leaving the room when I fire my gun …

… and fucking miss.

He’s running down the hall, going after Nat.

I chase after him, but he makes it to Nat before I can stop him.
