I saw Noah in the distance, and it gave me hope as I stepped into the store we had picked. I had been into a couple others as well, but we all knew this last one would be Conner’s last chance to grab me. I told my guards to give me a moment while I spoke to the store owner alone. I was just about to think that it had all been for nothing when Conner burst through the back door.
I had to fight the urge to kill him on the spot as he grabbed me and dragged me out of the back. Exactly as we had planned. He shoved me in the direction of the only van in the back alley. As he opened the door and shoved me in, I noted my brother and Noah in the back. The moment Conner climbed in behind me, they grabbed him.
They must have seen what he was planning to do. I knew that Noah suspected Conner
