The Auction novel Chapter 30

Jayne POV

I have not heard from Tatina. I am worried sick. When I try to call her phone it goes to voicemail. I am going to the house to get her. This has to end. It will end today.

I take out my phone and call Craig, he does not answer either. I will text him.

*Hey! I am coming by to see Tatina later*

I wait patiently to hear from him. After five minutes he responds. *No visitors today. Come tomorrow*

This is not good. I call Glenn to try to get his help. No damn answer. Someone has to do something. We have put her in danger.

Glenn finally texts me back. * We are going in tonight to get her. Stay put*

They better get her out of that house before something bad happens. I have a very bad feeling about this.

I cannot take it. I am going to get her with or without the help of the authority. This is on me. I put her in danger. I thought this would be a good thing for her and him. I was so wrong.

I gather my purse and keys. I lock up my house and run down to my car. Glenn is standing by my car.

“Where are you going?” he asks.

“I am going to go get her,” I answer.

“I figured as much. Just give me an hour to gather some people to go in,” he says.

“You have one hour. I will be close by waiting to take her,” I say.

Glenn shakes his head and leaves quickly. I get into my car. I need somewhere to wait for one hour. I will give him one hour to get her.

I drive to a bar and park. That looks like Lila’s car. I grab my phone and my purse and quickly exit the car. I am going to have a few words with this woman.

I go into the bar and look around for her. I finally see her sitting at a table in the back. I walk over to her.

“Can I sit?” I ask. I do not wait for an answer. I sit down.

“Sure. I guess,” she says.

“You know why I am here,” I ask her.

“Yes, you cannot get a hold of your sweet little friend,” she says.

“Yes. I am worried about her,” I say.

“She is fine. Probably planning her wedding,” she says.

“Wedding. What damn wedding?” I ask.

“Craig is marrying her,” she says.

“What? I have been trying to call her. She will not talk to me,” I say.

“Yeah. Well, they are all over one another. I cannot get a word in with him about the business. He is only worried about her and her needs,” Lila says.

“So she is okay,” I ask.

“Yep,” she responds.

I know she is lying. Tatina would not marry him not unless he was forcing her to marry him. 

“Listen, Jayne, as much as I would love to sit here and talk to you about your sweet little friend, I am meeting someone. So could you carry on somewhere else?” she demands.

“Sure, sorry to intrude on you. I just wanted to know if she is okay since Craig told me not to come to the house,” I say.

“Well he has company right now,” she slips.
