CHAPTER TEN

Dani had gone through several stages of her emotions in the past few days. She’d been enraged when Benny had locked her in her room under armed guard, gotten pissed when David had Luke taken, been embarrassed that morning at breakfast. And as for the night the recording was made... there weren’t even words for that kind of humiliation.

But through it all, she’d felt little fear. She’d been afraid for her brother; he’d been hurt worse than she’d imagined. She’d been afraid for Luke, for if Benny found out Luke was a cop he’d kill him. But until today, Dani hadn’t been afraid for herself. Not truly.

All that had suddenly changed. Now she stood in her room and wrapped her arms around herself while Katie sat on the bed, trying to be invisible.

“He’s mad,” Katie said reasonably as Dani paced in circles for what seemed forever. “He probably didn’t mean it.”

“He is mad,” Dani agreed in a small voice. “Mad enough to do just what he says he will.” Dani turned to the girl. “I didn’t know what kind of man he was all the years I called him my uncle. Or maybe I guess I did at some point, and I just didn’t want to admit it. I mean, what kind of guy shows up to a cookout with a bunch of guys in suits carrying Uzis?”

Katie shrugged, as if not believing her. “After all these years, you really think he would kill you?”

“Katie, I know he will. I’ve met some... pretty rough people. I’ve seen that look on his face before and, yes, he will kill me.” Dani looked around the room, not really seeing it. “At least Luke is safe.”

“You’re worried about him? A cop?” Katie half-mouthed the word, but Dani’s head reflexively spun to the wall where the guard stood, as though she could tell if he’d heard the girl. She raised a hand to Katie in a gesture of suppression.

“What he is doesn’t matter!” Dani hissed, her heart pounding so fast in her chest that it was a wonder she didn’t have a heart attack.

“You love him.”

“My family’s beaten him up, kidnapped him, dragged him off, and tried to have him killed, Katie. Whatever feelings I have for him also happen to be irrelevant. This is the kind of thing that ends a relationship, don’t you think?”

“Your feelings aren’t irrelevant,” Katie replied, leaning back and stretching out her legs, toes pointed like a ballerina’s. “And, just for your information, your family kidnapped me and is currently holding me hostage, but I don’t see that as your fault.” She glanced at her sideways, from under her lashes as she said this, her voice calm and steady, like she meant it.

I don’t deserve a friend like her... if someone had kidnapped me, I’d hate every member of their family. Dani dropped her head. “I know, I know, I’m sorry, I really am...” She waved her arms in frustration. “It’s just that...”

“It’s just that you’re not in love with me,” Katie finished for her.
