Lily was glad to get away from the rough area, though she felt like she’d brought a piece of it with her by the handgun she now had placed into the waistband of her pants. Though the piece was small and lightweight, it felt like a massive bulge beneath her clothing, and she was certain everyone who saw her would know what she was hiding. Spotting a parking space, Cameron pulled up on the opposite side of the street from their building and they both climbed out. “How are you doing?” he asked her, resting his forearm on the roof of the car as he looked over at her. “I’m fine, thank you. Feeling better now I have some protection.” “You really think these guys will come and find you?” She nodded, tamping down on the fear threatening to rise inside her. “Yeah, I do. I don’t know if it will be today, or even tomorrow, but the minute they discover I’m still alive and back in the country, they’ll come for me.”
