Just be pleased that it’s done” he snapped at me. God this was bad, this was really bad. I never wanted her to get hurt. “Look, you kept to your end of the deal and delivered the girl. He will keep his end of the deal” he continued as I stood in silence. “Clearly that stuff that the boss gave you worked, made her trust you enough to be alone with you.” The panic was setting in as I realised what I had done.

Maybe if I could find out why she was so important I could convince them to let her go, to not hurt her any
