Those men did not succeed the day before and actually appeared again today.
They were calling out at the door again. I did not hide away this time. I immediately opened the door.
I knew the moment I saw the leader that he was a gangster. He even had a tattoo on him, probably to intimidate people. He glared at me fiercely. “Are you Wanda Lane?”
I nodded and met his fierce gaze. “That’s me.”
“Do you know why we’ve come looking for you?”
“Not a clue.”
He smiled before shoving me aside and entering the house. “Someone instructed us to make sure you come with us and have a proper meet-up with them.”
“Who is it?”
“You'll know once you come with us.” He turned his head and looked at me while smiling in a flattering manner.
I rolled my eyes slightly and asked lightly, “Does this have something to do with the Yard family?”
The leader was quite smart. He waved his hand. “I can’t say anything. You’ll know as long as you come with us.”
“Do you think I’ll go with you?" I asked them back, my scrutinizing gaze falling upon them. “It’s clear from your appearance and the way you knocked on my door that this won’t go well for me. Won’t I just be walking straight into a trap if I follow you?”
The strong man raised his head and laughed. “He said you're not one to mess with, and he was right. I like it, though. My brothers, this beautiful chick won't come with us on her own. What do you think should I do?”
"Pick her up and go."
“Throw her over the shoulder and go.”
