I thought about their terror when they did know.
And even if I could have turned back, I wouldn't have.
When they acted, they did it fast.
It took all my willpower not to look at the drone when the officers yanked the door of the cruiser open and pulled me out. If I'd shown the tiniest weakness, the need for Cole to come, all the discussions we'd had would have been useless.
He would have found me. Even if the vehicles had already driven on.
I didn't look.
"Get out of the car. Get out of the car!" The officer pulling on my arm was frenzied, hard and loud.
Probably a combination of things. His own panic at what he was doing, the need to just get it done and over. Along with his need to keep me subdued. The more he could scare Erin Trace, the better they could control her.
I didn't fight. I let the real live scared Annie inside come up for air. A scene like this could escalate easily. What should be a snatch and grab could turn into murder.
Stepping out of the cruiser, I kept my hands raised. "I'm coming! It's okay, it's okay. I'm doing what you said." But I let my voice tremble and I kept my hands up.
Neither of those was that hard to do. I was honestly scared. I'd have been more scared if I thought there was any way they suspected who and what I was.
The one holding on to me slammed me against the SUV cruiser. I saw stars as they wrenched my arms back to cuff me. A small part of me was floating with the drone. At that moment it mattered that Cole knew where I was.
And then he didn't.
