“I don’t like it, and if something happens to her, then I’m not holding her mother and brothers back,” I inform him, turning towards him.
“Understood, and you won’t be the only ones taking revenge if something happens to her,” he assures me.
I turn back towards the road and the taillights have long faded. When I turn back towards him, he’s gone.
“Fuck,” I whisper, raking my hand down my face and saying a brief prayer that my daughter is kept safe.
