her arm, propelling her forward. Before she could come up with another plan, she found herself back on the bus.
“Do you want to sit in here or go back into the bedroom?”
At least he gave me a choice , she thought sarcastically, but not wanting to face Sin so soon after getting a bird’s eye view of his cock, she was ready to go back into the bedroom.
Without answering him , she moved toward the back of the bus, going inside the room. She heard the lock behind her when the door closed. Regretting not being able to think of a way to escape, she felt like a failure letting Vida down.
Hearing the door unlock then open later, she looked toward it, seeing Kaden come into the bedroom.
“The other shower is busy ,” he explained his presence.
“Help yourself ,” Sawyer said, waving her hand toward the bathroom.
His lips quirked at her giving him permission to use his own bathroom. She watched as he went to the closet and pulled out his bag , removing clothing before going into the bathroom. Sawyer then turned on the television to drown out the sound of him in the shower. Her imagination saw him removing his clothes and stepping into the surprisingly large shower.
Twining a lock of her hair around her finger , she forced herself to choose a program as she felt the bus begin to move. She didn’t ask where they were going next, because she knew it was taking her further and further away from Vida.
Sawyer’s eyes grew heavy and she lay down on her side , curling comfortably into the mattress. It was sometime later, when the bathroom door opened, that she was jerked awake.
“Do you need anything?”
“You could stop the bus and let me off ,” she said, sitting up.
His lips tightened. “I was talking about something to eat or drink.”
“I know what you meant,” Sawyer snapped. “How long are you going to do this, Kaden? You’re holding me prisoner against my will. Eventually you’ll have to let me go, and then you and your entire band are going to go to jail,” she said angrily.
“I don’t think it’s to o smart telling me that, do you?” Kaden crossed his arms over his chest, watching her reaction.
Sawyer forced herself not to let his attitude intimidate her. “Let me go, Kaden, and I won’t say a thing to the police. I promise.” Sawyer meant it; she just wanted her freedom. She would tell the police about the other women, but she would keep Kaden and his band out of it if he would let her go.
“Somehow , I just don’t believe you, Sawyer.” When she opened her mouth to explain, he cut her off. “Sawyer, I told you what Redman said. I’m keeping you for you and your friend’s safety.”
“I don’t need your help.” At his look of disbelief , she corrected herself. “I just want to get Vida and disappear.”
“How? You said you worked as a waitress ; how are you just going to disappear from a group of men involved in a sex ring who want you dead?”
Sawyer winced at his blunt words.
“ V— Vida and I have been saving. We have almost five thousand dollars...” She turned red. She was aware five thousand wasn’t a large sum of money to him, but it was a fortune to her and Vida.
“Five thousand isn’t going to be enough to hide you from men like Redman . They’ll have you in a week. This time, they’ll have your friend, Vida, also. It will take weeks, if not months, for the police to build a case. As soon as you tried to get a job when your money ran out, they would have you.”
She hadn’t thought of that , assuming that the police would make an immediate arrest. She had heard that it took time to gather evidence and prosecute criminals; however, she hadn’t thought about it in regards to her and Vida’s safety. She was going to have to start thinking smarter if they stood any chance of surviving.
