Chapter 42: Funari's Family Reunion

(Beth’s POV)

Griffin doesn’t stop fidgeting. He wrings his hands together and bounces his knee until the car passes security and he can get out of the vehicle. Beyond that he paces back and forth, not stopping once. Immediately he starts taking stuff onto the plane. What is going on?

I watch as Griffin and the driver make to unload all the bags and finally Griffin points to the plane, glancing erratically around him.

“Get on the plane.” He says it with little emotion and more command. I’ve only seen Griffin truly act like a mafia man once or twice and it didn’t end well. Right now is one of those times.

“What’s wrong, Griffin?” I ask, beginning to worry about my safety. He pulls a handgun out of his waistband and nods his head toward the plane.

“Go, Bethany. Trust me. You’ll be safer on the plane.” Griffin demands, tone softening toward the end. He eyes me and gives me a half*ssed smile. “It’s going to be okay. Please trust me. Trust that I’ll keep you safe.”
