When the Family 55
Chapter 55 She Comes Clean
The dark night stretched above like a heavy curtain.
Jean kept her head low, trying to avoid the harsh glare from the flashlights shining in her face.
She didn’t say a word, but inside, she was on edge.
The men in black were dragging her out of the woods, no hesitation, no mercy–and the one who said he’d come for her still hadn’t shown up.

They never stood a chance.
One by one, they hit the dirt, groaning, helpless.
Jean was the only one left standing.
She blinked
Then, the blur was in front of her.
Up close, she could see a flash of hair swaying in the night wind.
The boy crouched down, and his voice–cool and crisp like mint–drifted into her ears.
“Gel on”
Jean froze.
