Chapter 293

RYAN STARED STRAIGHT AHEAD, his hands on the wheel at ten and two.

Things had spun quickly out of control on a much larger scale than he'd been prepared for. When he'd decided that there was something chasing Carson he'd thought it was perhaps an ex or pseudo-friend that she wanted to hide from. Maybe she owed someone money or perhaps she was a snitch. The reality was much bigger and complicated. He didn't know how to keep her safe and he needed to somehow ensure her well being and that of her family.

"Where are we going?" Carson's voice was weary. They hadn't gotten a lot of sleep last night and today would have exhausted anyone.

"The Aegis Group office. The guys went there after they were released." The sun had almost set. The sky was turning into a dark blanket overhead.

"My car-"

"We took care of it."

"Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?"

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Because I lied to you?" Her voice was soft, almost a whisper drowned out by the engine and radio.
