“We think they had something over her… something that made her comply,” Sampson told me. “We don’t think she did it of her own free will.”
I shake my head.
“No, she didn’t. When I saw her, she was struggling to move forward. She was taking her time… she wasn’t rushing away from the border. She was taking frequent breaks and looking like moving forward pained her more than her actual injuries. I think she was stalling. I don’t think she wanted to continue.”
Sampson raised his brows before turning to Aiden.
“Look more into that. Find out what they might have had on her,” he told him.
Aiden stood to his feet; he was tall, and I felt intimidated standing beside him.
“Sure thing,” he replied. “I’ll see if our guest Beta will help. Maybe we can use some of the resources. It’s what they are here for, isn’t it?”
There was a bit of annoyance to his words, making me raise my brows.
Sampson noticed it too and rolled his eyes.
“Be nice to our guests, they could kill you without hesitation,” Sampson warned him. “And they don’t even need an excuse.”
Aiden rolled his eyes before his gaze flickered to me.
“And I’ll be seeing you later, Miss Judy,” he murmured before brushing past me and leaving the office.
Sampson looked amused.
“You know it’ll stop if you just go out with him,” Sampson told me.
I rolled my eyes and took a seat in front of his desk.
“I know he’s your best friend, but seriously? He’s a slime ball,” I told him.
Sampson barked out a laugh and nodded.
“Yes, he is… but he’s good at his job. He’s a hit-and-quit kind of guy. Once he has you, he won’t want you anymore. You could just fake it,” Sampson told me, not for the first time.
I shook my head.
“I’m not faking anything… I’m not going out with him. End of story,” I told him.
“Suit yourself,” he chuckled. “I won’t force you. I’m just telling you… If you want him to leave you alone and avoid you like the plague, that’s the only way you’ll do it.”
He had a point; if I went out with him and even slept with him, the chances of me ever seeing him again after that were slim. He’ll avoid me like carrying some kind of disease. The thought made me laugh, and Sampson joined me, though the laughter soon died down and a serious expression crossed his face.
“So how are you, seriously?” He asked. “What did Dr. Jasper say?”
“He said I just need to rest, but I’ll be fine,” I tell him, only telling him a bit of the truth. I wasn’t ready to share the news about my pregnancy yet, and even though I knew I needed to tell Sampson… the words wouldn’t leave my lips.
