~Jenetta’s PoV~
“Why are they leaving?” Marie whispers to me as we watch Eddie and Geoffrey walk out of the room with Tamir. “Who’s going to protect us?”
“They weren’t doing much here anyway,” Angie points out. “Jenetta’s been the one protecting us so far.”
“Jenny,” I quickly correct her under my breath. “I’ve told them my name is Jenny, so call me that. And the men are leaving so they can get a message to my father. Don’t worry. One way or another, we’re getting out of here very soon.”
I have no way of knowing if that’s true, but saying it seems to help Marie relax.
Geoffrey didn’t like the idea of leaving at all, suggesting forcefully that he should stay in my place so I could go instead, but I knew Tamir would never agree to that so I did my best to convince them of the positives
