Her Dad’s Best Friend novel Chapter 63

I want Iacopo to save me. We still have to talk, but I need him more than ever.

Chapter Twenty-Four

Car Window

Kelly

I hear shouting. Then someone’s bursting in my door. It’s the woman from before, but she’s not pretending to be gentle this time.

“Come with me.”

She takes my wrist in her hand and drags me forward.

“Where are we going?”

She doesn’t answer me. I can hear gunshots. My heart starts to freak out.

“Where are you taking me?”

She is running now. I’m stumbling behind her. We’re in a dark tunnel. Suddenly we’re next to a car.

“Get in.”

I don’t.’

“Get in the car, or so help me, I will make you bleed.”

I don’t want to get in the car. It’s the first rule of being kidnapped. Once you’re in the car, it’s game over.

She pulls a gun out. She must have had it in a holster. I didn’t see it.

“Get in the fucking car or I’ll kill you right now.”

“You can’t kill me,” I protest.

“I can maim you for life. How do you like having two kneecaps? Would you like only one of them to be intact? It wouldn’t kill you.”

I get in the car. I hope Iacopo can track us.

She drives like a crazy woman. We’re flying like a bat out of hell as we go far away from wherever they were holding me.

I can see her sweating even though it’s not that hot. “You can leave me here,” I offer as we pass a park. “I won’t tell them anything.”

“Shut up,” she says. She’s all alone in the car with me.
