Chapter Nineteen
Tempest
“Babe, wake up,” Sargent demanded as he ripped the blanket off my body.
“What’s wrong?” I blinked sleepily, peering around the dark room. “What time is it?”
“It’s past one in the morning, you need to get dressed.”
My panic skyrocketed. “Is it Maddox? Is he okay?”
“He’s fine… it’s us,” Sargent said quietly. “The FBI are on their way.”
“What?” I squeaked, diving out of bed, wondering if this was all a horrible nightmare.
It wasn’t a nightmare.
The FBI showed up minutes later and arrested Sargent. I screamed as they held me back and slammed him to the ground roughly. They handcuffed him but he didn’t speak, just looked at me with sad eyes.
They turned over his house, even going so far as to empty the pool and I was just made to sit there as they did so. They asked me questions but I didn’t answer. I didn’t speak. I didn’t say a word.
Because of that they arrested me too and Sargent… well he reacted in a way that got him Tasered.
