Lost In The Dark – Denise Grover Swank

Since we hadn’t taken our car, we parked at a garage down the street, then carried the packages to the back door of the hotel. We waited for someone to walk out the back so we could walk in without using our key card. Now, more than before, we needed to be cautious. For all we knew, Knox hadn’t yet realized we were in Little Rock. But given the people we’d talked to, he’d definitely know soon enough. By the time we reached the door to our room, James was dragging.

I took the keycard from him and opened the door, dropping my packages on the floor inside the room so I could take his. “You need a nap.” “I’m not a damned baby,” he grunted. “Trust me, that’s the last thing I’d accuse you of being, but you’re still recovering and you need to rest.” He reluctantly headed over to the freshly made bed. “What are you gonna do?” “Look into Razor. You got a legal name for him?”

“Timothy Ransor.” I cocked a brow. “Timothy?” He chuckled. “Why do you think he goes by Razor?” “Touché.” He slid onto the bed, tugging the pillows on his side of the bed to get more comfortable, then closed his eyes, his hands over his stomach. I moved to the sofa, casting a glance back at him. “You don’t look comfortable.” “What are you?” he grunted. “The nap police?” “You usually sleep on your side,” I said as I took a seat and grabbed my laptop.

“Take a nap. Don’t just rest.” His eyes cracked open. “You plan to always be this bossy?” “You think this is bossy?” I asked with a snort. “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.” He grunted but kicked off his boots and turned on his side, facing the wall.

“Why?” I turned around to face him, letting the heavy curtain fall back into place over the window overlooking the front yard of the property we’d just moved into minutes before. “I thought we were safe here.” “We are,” he grunted, dropping onto a worn green sofa. I grimaced at the dark stain on the cushion beside him. “I’m not so sure we’re safe from bed bugs—or whatever diseases live in that thing.”

He gave me a piercing glare. “You can’t expect the Ritz Carlton.” “I’ve never stayed in a Ritz Carlton in my life,” I said, my tone sharper than intended. But this was the third safe house we’d rotated through in a week, and they seemed to be getting worse with every move. “My expectations aren’t that high. Strangely, I thought yours were.” He scowled but kept quiet. I closed the distance between us and perched on the edge of the peeling pleather recliner beside him.

“Sorry.” When he didn’t respond, I placed my hand over his. “James.” He turned to look at me, his face blank, neutral in that way I’d come to recognize—he wasn’t pissed at my criticism. He was worried. I’d spent the past seven days with him, 24/7, and I’d started to learn his tells. “We’re safe,” I insisted, giving his hand a squeeze. At least we were safe at the moment.
