Chapter 72

Sam rushed to the corner drug store down the block before making her way to the parking garage. Inside she grabbed some sports tape with knee and elbow pads. Running to the counter, she threw a wad of money at the cashier. 

"Keep the change!" 

On the way back she taped her hands, heading to the parking garage. She pulled on the pads under her hoodie jacket and leggings, so Brad won't notice them. If she had to protect herself because this was going to be fight.

Meanwhile, Nick searched the hotel and garage, not seeing Brad sitting and waiting in a dark corner behind a car. Nick headed back to the hotel and straight to the security office in a panic. He had to find her before it was too late. He tried to call Sam, but she had turned off her phone. 

When she reached the garage she yelled, "BRAD! Where are you?"
