“Here are the GPS coordinates to the safe house nearby. Good luck, and be careful you two.”
Jay nodded at him, and Hayley said, “Thank you again, Alejandro.” He gave her a nod as Jay typed in their coordinates. Then they were pulling away, and Hayley watched with an unexplainable sadness as the ranch shrank away into the distance behind them.
“Whew, I’m hungry!” Jay said beside her. “You’d think the guy could have fed us, huh?”
“He did. Here.”
Hayley handed one of the paper-wrapped packages to him, and Jay immediately dug into the folded tortilla.
“Perfect! Hey, he’s not all bad, I don’t think.”
“No, not too bad at all,” Hayley said quietly as she watched the desert pass by them. She didn’t know who Madame H. was to Alejandro. She didn't know who Madame H. was to Jay. She didn't know anything about this woman except that she was bad to the bone; a user, a pimp, and worst of all, a slave trader. The thought sent a frigid shiver down her spine.
How did any person, especially a woman, ever come to think it was okay to profit from the misery and enslavement of other women? She didn’t know; she couldn't fathom it, but she decided right then, rolling through the scrub desert of Nevada, that she would right those wrongs, whatever it took. She could not let her legacy be one of the rape and misery of her fellow women.
I will fix this, she thought. I will fix it all if it takes my life to do it. I will.
But first, she had to find out who was trying to kill her. She looked over to Jay, who was driving the Jeep like a badass, the way he did everything. He glanced at her and smirked. God, was he handsome, but what the hell was his story? Jay had told her they were together, be it on and off, and that he would take care of her, but Alejandro had said not to trust him.
What would she do with that information? Something inside her believed Alejandro, but something inside her told her otherwise too.
Crap, she thought. What the hell am I going to do now?
