Chapter 166

Keegan slid the bolt across the door with a heavy clank, his face contorted with pain as he spoke to her, “Whitney, I can’t put you in danger anymore. I head out on my own. It’s one thing for the cops to catch me, but you can’t be seen. You stay hidden here until I’m in the police station, then, you can come out and clear your name!”
