Chapter Thirty
Elizabeth’s head hurt. She lay still and tried to remember where she was and how she’d gotten here. Her stomach churned. Was she just waking up for the day? Was it time for her morning sickness already? Something wasn’t right.
The bed moved making her realize it wasn’t her bed. Her eyes flew open. She was in the back seat of a car. How had she gotten here? Looking around, she tried to figure out why she was here and how she’d gotten here.
The car was immaculate. She didn’t see a speck of dirt and if it hadn’t been for no new car smell, she would have thought it was brand new. Maybe the rear seat had never been used?
She blinked and looked toward the front. Could she see the driver? A glance up at the rear-view mirror showed her only a reflection of the headliner.
The car swerved slightly and her stomach lurched.
“Oh god,” she muttered.
“You’re okay, Elizabeth, we’ll be there soon,” Michael’s voice came from the front seat.
“I’m going to be sick.”
“Hold on, sweetheart, it will be okay. It will all be okay soon.” His words were reassuring, but something was wrong.
She swallowed repeatedly, hoping she wouldn’t throw up, and waited. Her head throbbed. She wasn’t sure if her stomach was from the baby or from the pain. Giving her mind something to focus on helped.
It let her mind think past the issue at the moment. It took a few moments, but she remembered going out to the truck to get the ultrasound picture for Mitzie.
She didn’t know how long it had been since she’d left the house, but surely Kevin had noticed she was missing. He would find her. There was no doubt in her mind. The question was how long would it take? As the though occurred to her, she heard the rumble of a motorcycle. Was that him?
No. He wouldn’t have taken the time to go back to the clubhouse for his bike.
But it could be other Warriors. She wondered who would come, and if they were only coming because Kevin ordered them to. She closed her eyes and tried to relax as she waited. She couldn’t do anything now, so she needed to save her strength.
