Sin
Page 22
I go limp, helpless again—humiliated beyond expression. My shoulders sag, and I stare at the ground.
“Karlie, look out!” Marie’s voice penetrates my thoughts and I manage to look up just in time. The stranger smashes into Connor, knocking me down.
I crawl to safety, and when I gaze up again Connor is on his back, with the stranger straddling his chest. “Get your bags—I’ll hold him until you get back.”
Marie reacts instantly, offering me her hand. I take it and she tugs me to my feet. “You heard the guy—let’s go.”
We run to the RV and head straight to the bedroom. I open the closet and grab my backpack and suitcase. Then I unplug my iPhone and stuff it and the charger in my bag. Next I find my sandals and put them on.
Marie opens the glove box. “Where’s the cash, Karlie?”
“In the compartment above the driver’s seat.” Connor carries cash whenever we travel.
She opens it, takes the money, and stashes it in her pocket. “Ready?”
My hands shake uncontrollably as my gaze sweeps the area, searching for anything I might have forgotten. I’m overwhelmed, but grateful. “Ready,” I confirm, kicking the door open.
