“Okay.” Colt sat down in his chair. He just shrugged and started working on his computer.
I was so caught off guard that I wasn’t sure what to say. I figured he would have argued that I needed to heal more or it’s too dangerous or something. Alec moved over to a chair and sat down, leaving me to stand by the door, looking lost.
“Okay?” I repeated as I moved to sit beside Alec.
“Yeah. That has been the plan since we found out they were going to the beach. It was more of making sure you lived as for timing.” Colt didn’t even look at me as he kept typing away.
“Done!” Penny slammed down her fist before she stood up.
“Got it?” Colt asked, looking up at her and holding out his hand.
“I do. It took some… convincing but it’s done.” Penny looked a little devilish but who was I to comment on looks right now.
Colt took the paper and looked it over before handing it out to Alec. “Thanks, hun.” Colt smiled at Penny.
“What is it?” Standing up, I walked over to look over Alec’s shoulder but he pulled me down into his lap instead.
“This is how we are going to get to Florida undetected. We will be taken to this location. There, we will hide out and wait for information on where Adalynn is being held.” Alec pointed at each address and traced his finger on the map.
“So when do we leave?”
My eyes locked with Alec. “Tonight. We need to move in the dark.”
I knew he was right but my heart didn’t want to listen. “What am I suppose to do all day?”
“You are going to come with me.” Penny sounded way too cheerful as she bounced over to me.
My body reacted on it’s own and leaned away from her. “Doing… what?”
Penny rolled her eyes. “You can whip off that grimace off your face. We are going to slather you in cream. It is a herbal remedy for burns.”
“I think I am looking pretty good…” Not that it didn’t sound like fun… I didn’t want to be away from the information as it came in.
“You look like a puffy tomato with bug bites.” Penny folded her arms over her chest.
“Damn, Penny.” I was both proud and annoyed with her sarcastic remark.
“Come on. You can act like I hurt your feelings as I cover your entire body with cream.” Penny nudged my arm and walked to the door. “Come on, tomato.”
“I’ll mind-link you if anything comes up.” Alec promised. He slapped my thigh before nudging me to get up.
“Did you know about this?”
Alec didn’t even try to hide his guilt. “Sure did. You wouldn’t have came if I told you. I love you so go get better.”
Standing up with my arms folded over my arms, I just looked at him. “You realize she is going to touch every inch of my skin. Touch me in places that you haven’t in days.”
“Gross.” Colt fake vomited.
Alec frowned at me. “She is going to wear gloves. Don’t be so dramatic.”
“Fine but when I like it, you have only yourself to blame.” Stomping away, I could hear Alec snort.
