“I could’ve gotten you on this raft right away.” He wrapped bandages around my head.
“Don’t go to sleep, Rocco.” Genn dug into my bag and grabbed the binoculars.
“I’ll figure out how long it will take us to reach land. Ryah, keep a close eye on him.”
“I will.”
I stretched out along the back of the raft, next to Ryah. Ercole and Agosto were on either side rowing. Jennie sat behind Agosto, resting her head against the side of the raft, staring out into space. She probably wondered what my dad would do to her.
Genn grumbled under his breath as he stared out of the binoculars near the front. His job was to protect me. How could he do that if I was busy saving my girlfriend? But it was my decision. Not his.
I grabbed Ryah’s hand and kissed it.
“I’ll visit you at the safe house.”
She laid down and stared into my eyes. “Good, I still want to help find the person who tried to kill us.”
“Ryah, you almost died. Not sure your dad will go along with that idea.”
“Tell him what she said. She was coming for me either way.”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
The pain radiated in my head in waves. Next thing I knew, my body was shaking, and I heard shouting. Then it was lights out.
