Capítulo 68: Chapter 68

Who the hell were Ryan and Monica? I thought confused. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Ryan and Monica were Kevin and Alyssa. Or at least they used to be before they went into witness protection and changed their name. It was a surreal moment, almost as if this were all happening to someone else instead of me.

“Leaving so soon?” he asked, breaking me out of my shocked reverie.

I pinched the back of Kevin’s arm and motioned for him to put me down since I had a bad feeling that he was going to need both his arms.

Kevin let me go without a fight but struck up a position right in front of me and slightly in front of Alyssa. I fully expected Alyssa to argue about that, but she let it happen without a word of complaint and kept her eyes on the Dontego as he sauntered down the stairs.

In the quiet stare down, it was hard not to scream, "get it over with." But it looked as if both parties were quite content to allow the strained silence to continue.
