âThis is a complete overreaction,â I mumble, annoyed, to Morgan whoâs sitting beside me with his head in his hands. âThereâs nothing wrong with me apart from a few scratches.â
âMr. Waite ordered me to bring you here,â he replies, pushing a long dark strand of hair from his terrified blue eyes. Heâs still wearing his running gear; however, Iâm now dressed in a standard hospital gown. âHe said you were to be fully checked over and he would meet us.â
âControlling dickhead,â I say, and he visibly gulps. âHim and all his bonehead friends.â
âHe writes my paycheck, Miss. I need to follow his instructions if Iâm to still have a job at the end of today.â
âSince when did you call me âMissâ? Morgan, youâre only one man and there were three of them. There was nothing you could do.â
âI doubt the boss will see it that way.â
Earlier this afternoon, Morgan and I had entered the park close to Damonâs house to run our familiar circuit around the edge. Each week weâve been adding a lap to our run as my fitness increases. I find it hard to talk while exercising, but Morgan never stops. In the few weeks Iâve known him, Iâve learned all about his life history, hometown, previous romantic encounters, and the married man heâs in love with. I told him itâs a bad idea, but seemingly the sex is too fucking good to give up, and his fuck buddy refuses to leave his wife.
At the rear of the park thereâs a long, winding stretch of path through a wooded area. In these summer afternoons, itâs always a welcome break from the beating sunshine. The park had been quiet midweek, but as we made our way through the trees, three men walked toward us from the opposite direction. As I passed, the tallest man grabbed me around my waist and slammed a hand across my mouth. When Morgan spun around to help, the other two men knocked him to the ground and laid into him, all fists and knees. Once my security was gagged and his wrists bound, they dragged him off into the wooded area and all returned to me.
âGood afternoon, Kathryn,â the oldest man said. He was smaller than the other two, with shrewd eyes and a sly smile. âMr. Moreno has requested your presence in his home. Heâs keen to have a conversation with you. Now, my colleague is going to remove his hand from your mouth. Donât scream; if you do, your friend lying over there wonât see sunset.â He pulled a kitchen knife from his pocketâthe metal glinted in the sparse sunlightâthen slid it back into its hiding place. âCan I trust you?â I nodded, and the goon released me.
âMy name is Emma,â I snarled.
âEmma, Kathryn. I donât care. Iâm only here to deliver my client the package. Now, come with us.â I followed him out of the park toward a quiet street at the back. The man who held me previously walked behind me while the third man held my elbow.
