Chapter 256-And The Arrest
Helanie:
"Actually, it’s because we haven’t seen Lucy yet. If you give us a few minutes," I said, my heart thumping hard, but I kept my exterior neutral.
"I’m pretty sure you’ve met her already," Malarkey finally spoke up. His voice was so strangely sharp, and the way he pronounced every word made it seem like he was judging Lamar and me. Or maybe that was just how he spoke to people who didn’t have a much higher rank.
"Well, even if we haven’t, you can’t take us away," Lamar decided to take the direct approach. I was only wasting my time. I had a feeling Emmet would come. But then I wondered if I was doing the right thing by dragging him into this mess. What if he’s unavailable and doesn’t see the alarm?
"Huh, for someone like you with such a low rank, you’re very bold. What was your name again?" Malarkey asked in a much more threatening tone.
"Why bother with my name? You want to talk about how trainers gave her privileges, why aren’t they being asked for it? Why are you taking her with you only?" Lamar was good at this. I felt my heart revive a little when I noticed Dewitt eye Malarkey, something passing between them.
"We’ll call them too. But right now, she’s coming with us," Dewitt continued.
I hadn’t even spoken about what Rayden had done to me, and these older men were chasing after me like they had nothing better to do. That was scary too.
"It’s okay, Lamar, I’ll go with them. Just let me use the bathroom first, and while I do, you go home, okay? I’ll call you and let you know what happened, alright?" I gave Lamar a nod, not wanting him to argue anymore. The look of triumph on Malarkey and Dewitt’s faces was enough to tell me they bought my lie.
