“Yep, and I’m guessing that the latest girl is someone you know?”

“Kay,” I gritted out. “It’s Kay.”

His eyes widened and I could see that he hadn’t known that. “Ah, shit. I didn’t know. She’s a nice chick.”

“She’s also my little sister, you dipshit.” Corey growled from where he was stood off to the side.

He leaned back in his chair, caught off guard. “I didn’t know you had a sister,” he said to Corey, his eyes assessing him.

“Yeah, no one did.” His eyes moved to mine. I could tell that he still wasn’t happy about me and his sister being together but he’d just have to put up with it because that wasn’t changing any time soon. If ever.

“I think your gonna need to fill me in on everything, and then we can go from there,” Daley said. He still hadn’t provided me with his real name but I guessed that he probably wouldn’t due to the work that he did.

We sat there for over an hour telling him everything. Every little detail of the investigation. If he was going to help us find Kay, then I wouldn’t be leaving anything out.

Apparently he was aware of Max, he’d become Serena’s lap dog and would do anything that she said.

Daley told us that it all made sense now, he was doing it so that he could get revenge on Kay. I’d shown him the pictures of Kay’s injuries from Max. Looking at them, I hoped that she hadn’t been hurt this time and that we’d get to her before it was too late.

But in my gut, I knew that she was hurt. Call it a connection, call it what you will, but I just knew.

“I’ve got an inside contact. It’s time we took this place down.” Daley gritted out and stood up. “Between us all, we’ll be able to get those girls out and take that evil bitch down.”

“I want Max,” I growled.

“Yeah,” Daley said, looking between the two of us. “You can have him. I’d kill the fucker if he did that to my sister.” Buttoning his jacket up, he then said. “If I had one of course,” and winked.

Corey followed him out and I was left alone.

Slumping back down in my chair, my stomach rolled. This was the first time we had been this close to getting Kay back.

I owed her one big apology for not listening to her in the first place, but if she was with Serena then that meant she probably knew.

She knew what had happened, what had broken me.

I rushed forward as fast as I could and showed them the card that I had pick-pocketed. I couldn’t contain my excitement at the prospect of getting out of this place.

“What’s that?” Ava asked, leaning forward and touching it.

“Our way out.” I smirked and looked over at Lindsey. She didn’t look that bad, apart from a new bruise on her cheek.

Her eyes were filled with fire and I knew she wanted out of this place; right now. “Lindsey? You okay?” I frowned, my face hurting when I did.

“Yeah.” She nodded. “Fuckers ain’t gonna get to me. Let’s get out of this shit hole.”

I nodded and crawled closer. We all huddled up and made a plan, we knew that it wouldn’t be easy but once we were out into the hallway then things would be easier. We just had to get out there first. If I hadn’t been so injured, I would have been able to disengage whoever opened the door. But I knew that I couldn’t

do it, at least, not on my own.

“Teach us,” Ava said, standing up.

“You sure?” I raised my brow. I hadn’t expected her to say that.

“Yeah.” She nodded as Lindsey stood beside her.

“Me too,” Lindsey gritted out.

In the little time that we had, I taught them what I could. I couldn’t show them all the moves; my body just wouldn’t allow it. Once they had the moves down, we sat and waited for our daily dose of water.
