“S-she— huh, Sofia is the car and Valentina is on the bench right here, sir
— fuck.” He pointed to where Valentina was, or was supposed to be because
the bench was fucking empty. I could see the exact moment Remy understood
he’d fucked up. He totally blanched and even had the smart idea of taking a
step back, away from me.
Red contorted my vision. I was angry a few minutes ago but now it was
more than that. I was feral at the incompetence of the men in front of me. I
took a threatening step towards Remy, when a strong hand came clasping my
arm from next to me.
“Maddox, calm down.”
“Calm down? How can I fucking calm down, Adam, when these two
idiots preferred listening to a bunch of women yapping God knows what than
to keep watch of a nine year old girl prone to daydreaming and living in her
own world!”
“S-she was here, sir, I swear! We have the other one cuffed in the car and
—“
“Cuffed!”
Somehow the idea that these men put their hands on Sofia and manhandled
her to the point of putting her in handcuffs enraged me even more. I took
another step towards them, ready to rip their heads off, but again, Adam
stopped me.
“I want to know exactly what the fuck happened and I want to hear it
now.” I was grateful Adam was lucid enough for the both of us and acted like
a goddamn cop, because Lord knew I was in no condition to.
“She assaulted me!” My eyes were brought back to one of the women, and
they widened.
She had been slightly hidden by the others due to the fact that she was
sitting down on a bench while her friends, I assumed, were standing.
