the aroma coming from it, but she couldn’t bring herself to eat while she was so worried about Vida and wanting to call for help.
    Finally, when t he men finished talking, Alec and his security team left with grim faces.
    Sawyer watched as Kaden walked over to the food cart where he placed several sandwiches on a plate and grabbed a bottled water before walking over, handing it to her.
    “Eat ,” he ordered. She started to argue with him, but her grumbling stomach refused to cooperate. Embarrassed, she reached out and took the plate from his hand.
    “So what have you and Alec decided?” Sawyer asked , before taking a bite of the thick sandwich.
    Kaden sat down on the chair facing hers.
    “Alec is going to find a safe place for the women to stay. Two of Alec’s security detail that used to be on the police force are going to get in touch with their ex-bosses and bring them in quietly so as not to alarm Redman and whoever his boss is. We’re going to hang tight until we hear back from Alec.”
    “In other words , you’re not going to do a damn thing. None of this wait-and-see attitude is going to prevent them from going after my friend.” Sawyer had to force herself to take another bite. His words making her appetite dwindle.
    “Alec is tracing the number you dialed and is going to keep trying it. If we don’t get in touch with her soon, then we’ll send one of our men to where she is to get her out of town.”
    Sawyer ate the sandwich , enjoying the taste despite herself. The thick sandwich was filled with a flavorful meat that had her reaching for another one. After she finished it and drank half her bottled water, she sat, debating her next move.
    Alec returned and asked the women to follow him after a qui et conversation with Kaden. The women meekly followed him out of the hotel room.
    “Where is he taking them?” Sawyer asked , concerned for their safety.
    Kaden returned his attention to her. ‘’He’s taking them to a private rehab home not far from here. They’ll be checked out and given help to get rid of the drugs Redman has kept in their system s.
    Rehab houses were known for their discretion and silence dealing with wealthy clients. These women weren’t being given their freedom, but exchanging it for a more luxurious prison.
    “Why aren’t you trying to send me with them?” she asked suspiciously.
    “Because Redman wants you ; he doesn’t want them.”
    His words had what little color the food had given her disappearing again. Did that mean he had decided to give her back to Rick? The door had been unintentionally left open after the last woman had left the suite.
    “I need to go to the restroom.” Nonchalantly , she rose to her feet.
    “Fine.” Kaden was motioned to Sin’s and R.J. ’s side after he’d dismissed her.
    Sawyer turned toward the bathroom , and before anyone could react, she ran for the door. She saw the elevator door was closed, so seeing the exit sign and hearing running steps and yells from behind her, she went for the exit.
    Her movements were slow after being chained to a bed for several weeks , but she managed to make it to the door. Her hands touched the knob, frantically turning the handle and barreling through the door only to find herself almost knocked off her feet when she ran into one of Alec’s men coming up the stairs. His hands went to her waist, barely managing to keep them from both going headfirst down the steps.
    “Jesus ,” Kaden said, his arm going to her waist and pulling them both back to safety.
    The security man released her with a sharp word while Kaden gripped her arm, forcing her struggling body back into the hotel room. The band members and R.J. all gave her angry stares at her attempt to escape.
    Kaden didn’t stop escorting her down the hallway where he opened the bedroom door, then pushed her in before she could stop him, shutting and locking the door before she could react.
    “ S—s— son of a b— bitch!” Sawyer turned and
