11 Chapter 10 Markings

I insisted on seeing the scene of the kidnapping.

When Matthew burst in, bloody and sweaty, I knew something was wrong. Anton knew, too, which must have been why he was so determined to get me to stay behind.

Youre still vulnerable right now, Delilah. There could be some of the kidnappers waiting around the site. I dont think you should risk it.

I whimpered and gave him a pitiful look. Anton, this involves me, too. I cant be left here alone if theres a kidnapper on the loose. Im going with you.

I didnt want to push this, since Anton and I had just gotten over our little fighting phase. It turned out I didnt have to.

Anton. Matthew said. We have to go now. Seriously, its important.

Anton glanced at Matthew and then at me. He sighed. Fine, but Im carrying you the whole way. He told me.

I nodded. If that was the best I could get, I was going to take it.

Anton scooped me up in his arms and followed Matthew out the doorway. Which way? Anton asked.
