Debbie’s voice was choked.
“No, it’s mine. You were kidnapped because of me.” Aldrich knew he might be able to overpower Debbie, but not both her and her bodyguards Carlos had hired for her. So his best bet was to get at her through Kasie.

Debbie had been at the police station way too many times. She started to think that she must have been jinxed or something.

At the hospital
Ivan was still in the ER. The doctors were doing their best to save his life. They had the bleeding under control and washed the blood away from the wound, and several blood packs were brought in to replace blood lost from limbs and vital organs. Debbie and Kasie waited outside.
Debbie took her phone out of her pocket. The screen had been broken during the fight, but it still worked well enough. She found Carlos’ number and texted him.
“You saved my life. Thanks, old man.”

realization.
“Okay. I’ll thank him sother day,” she said, dispirited.
