Chapter 24: Roxy

Just what the hell have you gotten yourself into this time, Roxy? I tried to remember where I’d gone wrong when it was that I’d left a clue behind or a trail for them to follow. Nothing came to mind, which made me even more nervous. For all that, the hot one kept reassuring me that I wasn’t in danger. It’s been a long time since I’ve trusted anyone, and I’m not about to start.

With that thought, my mind went to my uncle Mike. He’s going to worry if I don’t check in soon. The thought made my stomach hurt, and I felt the need to get out of there even stronger. Uncle Mike is the closest thing to family I have left. Mom’s family had pretty much disowned her when she married my dad and moved here, and dad didn’t have any family to speak of when they met.
