СКАЧАТЬ he turned onto a relatively quiet street and stopped in front of a four-flat building with a carriage house behind. “My sister and her husband live in the carriage house.”

      “I wanted to live in a carriage house, but I could never find one I could afford.” She popped open her door and climbed out before he could reach her side. “Can you park here?”

      “They’ll have a sticker for me.” Nick gathered up her belongings, such as they were, and carried them through the open gate. “I’m going to ask Sean, my brother-in-law, to lock this for the night.”

      Kristen stared at him. In the light of the security lamps, her face was sickly pale. “You don’t think I’m safe here.”

      “Kristen—” He stopped.

      Her wide-eyed horror roused his sympathy so much, he doubted he could keep an emotional distance from her.

      “Kristen,” he began again, “I don’t think you’re safe anywhere. This is just the best place at the moment if you don’t want to be locked away in a safe house until we hear more from the kidnappers.”

      As if to respond to his statement, a cell phone rang. Kristen jumped. Nick reached for his phone. Nothing showed on the screen, and the ringing continued.

      “It’s mine.” She was fumbling in her bag. A pack of tissues, a tube of lip balm and three peppermints landed on the sidewalk before she drew the phone from the suitcase she called a purse.

      “Let me.” Nick held out his hand.

      But she was already answering. “Hello?”

      She lowered the phone so it switched to speaker mode, and Nick heard the response as clearly as she did.

      “Please,” said a whispery voice, “do whatever they say. They’ll kill me otherwise.”

      “Mom? Is that you? What are they—?”

      A scream interrupted her, and then the call was disconnected.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
