“It’s nothing, keeps me amused. We met last time you were here but I doubt you remember much. I’m Hunter.”
“Penn.”
“I know all about you,” he chuckled, motioning to the door. “Sit inside for a little while. I’m dealing with something, then I’ll take you both home. Take anything out of the car that you want to keep, we’re scrapping it.”
“Why?”
“Stone doesn’t want it back at the compound.”
I glanced at Leah and she shrugged, grabbing her shopping from the trunk.
“I guess we’re not going shopping for you today. Sorry, Penn.”
“I just want to go home where there’s no crazy stalkers,” I laughed nervously, but deep down I was trying to come up with reasons as to why that man had been following me. He’d seemed familiar but I couldn’t remember where I’d seen him before.
Hopefully there weren’t any more.
Chapter Eleven
Penn
Hunter took us back to the compound without any problems, dropping us off at the door and waiting until we were inside before leaving. Drake almost knocked me over as we entered the living room, and I dropped Leah’s bags as he took my face in his hands to assess me for damage.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” I smiled, the worry in his eyes starting to vanish. He pulled me against his chest, kissing my temple.
It felt nice having someone worry.
“You’re staying home for the rest of the day and you’re not leaving my sight.”
“Wrong,” Stone muttered as he walked in, seeming to check me over for injury too before continuing. “You and Knox need to go to Blackwater.”
That wasn’t fair and Stone knew it. If he thought putting them together was going to fix everything, he was going to be mistaken.
“You’re not serious,” Drake said dryly, turning to face Stone. “You put me with Knox?”
“Whatever bullshit you two are fighting about can’t get in the way of business. Get used to it,” he scoffed, his eyes sliding to Leah. “You’re going up north with a bunch of the others, so offload your bags in your room and get packing.”
“For how long?” Leah groaned, his fists clenching by his sides.
“Just do as you’re told. Why is everyone suddenly arguing with me?” He looked at me, his lips curling into a sneer. “You, get in the office.”
“Yes boss,” I said sweetly, picking up Leah’s bags from the floor and handing them to her before giving Drake a quick kiss and walking towards the hallway.
“Even the princess can follow instructions, so the rest of you need to take a page from her book!” Stone barked, his footsteps thudding after me. I had no idea what he wanted but he seemed pissed as he shut the door and pointed at me. “What the fuck happened today? I want a complete report. Start to finish.”
I dropped down into a chair by one of the computers and crossed my arms, ignoring a few of the others who were in the room. It seemed most of them were acting like we didn’t exist anyway, probably for their own safety.
“We were in a cafe in Crestford and—”
“Which one?”
“I don’t know, Leah said it was good so I took her word for it,” I shrugged, his face turning thunderous. He stalked closer, placing his hands on the armrests to lean over me.
“Always take note of where you are. The people around you or at least landmarks if you’re unsure. You were at the Golden Star Cafe on Main Street. Where did you sit?”
“At a table like a normal person.”
