But he knew about Cash. And in her arms was Cash’s little daughter, a baby that Lucia had just given her life to free. Despite what Torres had said, she knew Lucia’s death was because of Ellie. She had no idea where Dylan was or if he was any closer to locating Cash. In a way, Gil was all she had.
And dead was dead, whether by his hand or the guards who had their own brand of justice. She could only hope he’d have mercy on the baby.
“What’s in this for you?” she said, trying one last time for information.
“I take your brother back to the U.S. for prosecution before the bail needs to be paid and I get a nice bonus for my troubles. That’s the way it works.”
“Do you take us, too?”
The words were out of her mouth before she had time to think about what she’d said. The surprise in his eyes mirrored what she felt. But it was the only way. She’d come far, but she couldn’t do this alone. She needed help and if she worked this right, she and Ellie might be able to get back to the States alive.
“Look, you’re the one who is responsible for me missing my plane. I don’t have any more money to pay for food or hotel rooms. If you’re going to detain me until you get whatever information you think I have—”
“Go on. Get in,” he said quietly.
She closed her eyes and sighed softly. Ellie was still fussing, though much more quietly than before. She needed a diaper change and a bottle, neither of which she’d get while Sonny stood there and debated.
Gil was after money. She was out of it He wanted her brother. She wanted safety for all of them. If Gil could find Cash, that was just an added bonus, wasn’t it? With her plane long gone and the airport guards sus¬picious of her, she had only one choice. She had to go with him.
She stepped off the curb and into the backseat, hoping she hadn’t just made the worst mistake of her life.
