I scoff, looking at them with disgust. “Who the fuck asked you guys tosave me?”
My disregard for what they consider to help rub Tanner the wrong way. “The fuck?”
He glares at me before turning to the others. “Should we just drag her back there? I’m pretty sure we would have been able to get the information anyway. Maybe she would be a lot more grateful if we let her get a taste of their torture.”
“Tanner, stop it.” Rueben’s displeasure with Tanner’s words is evident.
Josiah, who’s been silent up until now, draws his lips back in an amused expression. He raises his shoulders slightly and leans back against the wall, folding his hand across his chest as he watches the drama unfold.
My jaw ticks, completely pissed off. I’m not some entertainment to be enjoyed.
“You shouldn’t act like saviors when you’re just as bad,” I spit in disgust. “Whatever you claim would have happened to me would not have been as bad as being with the people who killed my dad.”
“I beg your pardon?” Tanner’s face shows his shock as he takes a step in my direction.
You didn’t think I knew, did you?
I won’t give them the satisfaction of pretending to be my saviors even for one second.
“You murderers! You killed my dad!”
My posture is defensive as I glare at them. I would rather die like my father did than keep up this farce for a moment longer.
“I joined the police to make you pay for your crimes, and I intend to do just that,” I almost scream at them; the only thing stopping me is the ache in my head.
Tanner turns to Rueben with disbelief in his eyes.
“We got the right bitch, right?”
“Tanner, don’t be disrespectful.”
Tanner scoffs. “You gotta be kidding… You know what?” He throws a hand up and turns on his feet to leave the room.
Josiah’s amused expression has fizzled out. His lips are pressed into a thin line, and his eyes are hard beneath his drawn-together brows.
I turn my attention to Rueben. Although he’s the one who shut Tanner up, he looks just as upset as Josiah is.
What’s with them? They did kill my father, right?
Chapter 6
Tanner
This bitch is infuriating.
Leaving the room was for her sake and mine, to clear my head before I did or said anything stupid, although it doesn’t seem to be helping.
I’m still very much pissed off, and I doubt it’ll be changing anytime soon. I walk towards my room.
Why the fuck is she so up in arms against us when she knows nothing? She is so uninformed about anything.
When I first saw her, the only thing I could think about was how gorgeous she was. And when she opened those beautiful blue-green eyes, she only became more beautiful.
Her red hair cascaded down her shoulders in bouncy waves, and her full lips had been so perfect as she stared at us in confusion. I was particularly enamored by the smattering of freckles on her nose and her high cheekbones.
Although she’d only just been rescued after an explosion and was injured, she looked so beautiful, much like a movie star.
I’d always found it weird how a movie star could get injured in a movie but always managed to look impeccable. No one should look that good after an accident, and yet, looking at her, I get it.
