We pulled up in front of a large brick apartine “Stay in the hallway and bang on the door if anyone’s co Then haul your ass down here and start the car” He handed over the keys

“You’re not worried I’ll steal it and leave you behind?”

He leveled a hard stare my way “You’re not that stupid, Roman”

No, I wasn’t

“Are we doing soh to keep asking questions

“Nope”

That wasn’t reassuring

He punched a code into a keypad by the front doors and ent inside He looked around for a second before jogging up the wide staircase in front of us On the second floor, he scanned each apart in front of 4F

“Stay right here” He pointed to the wall next to the door like I was an unruly puppy in need of training “Keep your mouth shut”

“All right” I hated everything about this situation, but I was also intrigued What exactly was he willing to pay me so much money to do?

Satisfied I’d stay like a good boy, he banged on the door

“What the fuck!? Who are—”

Shit, what if the guy had gotten the upper hand and Dex was the one getting his ass kicked? The dude was obviously nuts, but Juliet loved hiet hurt

I nudged the door open and peeked inside

“You like beatin’ up on girls, motherfucker?” Dex sneered

Boouy in the stomach With his foot

“She fell!” the guy on the floor hollered

Thwack!

“Fell uy in the face “This ain’t the first tiirl But it will be your last”
