man said that he had a week or
I was dead.” I note
    Adam nods
    “He’s not going to pay. I think
everyone here is really overestimating the 4 month relationship we had.” I
laugh bitterly
    “He loves you.” Adam states
    “No. He does not. He has never told
me, and if he did don’t you think he would have already answered Red?”
    “Red is a dead man. He’s been on
borrowed time for a while now. That’s why he is desperate to get that money. He
has a huge debt to pay, he tried to sell my nice… your niece for money.
Do you know what happened when he found out Ashley was pregnant?” He asks
    “No.”
    “She was strung out on drugs when
she told him she was pregnant. He owes an old associate a lot of money. When
Matthew Corvus died and Ryan took over, the human trafficking stopped. You see
Ryan is really the boss of this town. Several towns in the surrounding the area
actually and he’s a big deal. When he took over he put his foot down on dad’s
trafficking. He stopped it. He said my dad would be dead if he ever found out
that another person was traded.
    Dad tried to go behind Ryan’s back,
he set up trafficking shipments. Ryan’s men found out and killed dad’s
transporters and released the women and children dad was trying to sell. Dad
ended up owing money back to all of the people who paid him up front for
people. He has nothing left. He might look rich, but all of his money is either
borrowed or stolen. What he makes in drug sales he has to give in repayment.”
    “When your brother knocked my sister
up, dad thought he had a perfect in. He could say the baby was being put up for
adoption and sell her to a man he use to work with. Gary Leonard. Gary is a
complete douche but his wife has always wanted a baby. Dad talked to him and
Gary offered $5.3 million to dad if he would sell him Ashley’s baby. Of course
when Jaxon decided to keep the baby, dad lost yet another associate tie and the
lanes he was promising to buy with the money for the baby were given to someone
else. Dad was looking forward to that income.”
    “Then he kicked Ashley out. He
disowned her. He was supporting her drug habit in exchange for her doing some
other things for him and his associates. When that happened she kind of
snapped. She blamed you, she knew that you had moved in with Jaxon. She said
everyone in school was talking about it. So she went and hired Dean. She knew
of him through hearing about Ryan and his “muscle” hit man, Dean is good at
what he does and everyone knows it. When Dean didn’t get the job done in time,
she opened another contract with one of dad’s men. Ashley believed if you were
dead, Jaxon would give up on being a single dad. When Dean found out she hired
another hit man, he killed Frank. Frank was Dad’s most prized associate. He had
been with dad for years. So all of that catches you up on why my dad is pissed
at you. Dean killed Frank to keep you alive. You helped Jaxon keep our niece
and cost dad that money.”
    I curl tighter under the blankets.
Needing to feel some level of comfort rather than all this talk about how much
I ruined everything for these crazy people. I glance at the Water lilies. I
need to relax.
    “Now as for what I have to do with
all of this.” He stops for a moment. He watches me for several moments,
whatever he is about to tell me I think he is worried that he can’t trust me.
    “I hate my sister. I hate my father
even more. I work here because I am… I am an undercover agent with the FBI. Now
before you get all excited thinking that I can let you go. I can’t. I am
working with my father, but I am working against him in the bigger picture. We
were not expecting him to take you hostage. You are a slight bump in the grand
scheme of things. I am going to do whatever I can to keep you safe, but if you
let anyone know the truth, or you don’t do exactly as I tell you to do. You are
going to end up dead. My father’s men will kill you before you even get out the
front
