Reuben gave the details.
“I’m sending people now.”
She sucked in a breath as Reuben ended the call. “Was that a good idea? Won’t Alejandro be upset?”
Reuben shook his head. “Alejandro has too many eyes on him at the moment. He can’t afford to get so visibly involved. And your cousin wants a win, so we give him Rivers. Win-win.”
There were sirens approaching and turning, she saw police cars coming up behind them.
“Baby, you need to do exactly what I say when I say it,” he said firmly. “Understand?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
The partition between the front and back lowered slightly.
“What the fuck did you do?” the man in the front seat snarled.
“You’re an idiot, Rivers,” Reuben told him. “The cops are going to have you surrounded soon.”
“You called the fucking cops?”
He sounded so offended. What an idiot.
“Rivers, you need to give yourself up,” Reuben commanded. “You’re done for.”
“Oh yeah? And what if I just take the two of you with me in a blaze of glory?”
Faith swallowed heavily. What would happen if he did that? Fear threatened to engulf her. But then the guy screamed in anger and the car started to slow.
“They fucked up the tires. Fuck!”
“You could run, you know,” Reuben suggested.
“Or I could fucking kill you both!”
Reuben reached over and undid her belt, hitting the button to lower the screen fully as he dove over between them to grab Darcy Rivers.
“Down, baby!” he yelled.
She slid down immediately, hiding in the footwell as the car spun. A shot was fired and there was the sound of smashed glass.
Faith screamed, certain that Reuben was going to get hurt. She didn’t care about herself. She just wanted him to be all right!
But then the car came to a halt. She was breathing heavily, unsure of what was going on.
All she could hear were the sirens around them. Lights flashed in her eyes.
Please let Reuben be all right.
Please, God.
Please.
Doors opened. There were people yelling as she sat there, terrified and afraid. When the door closest to her opened, she screamed.
Firm hands grabbed hold of her and she cried out as someone pulled her onto their lap. She opened her eyes, staring up at Reuben through blurry eyes.
“Everything is all right, baby,” he soothed. “You’re safe. I’m safe. From now on, everything is going to be okay. I promise.”
