Page 47 of Her Last Hope
“Let’s wait on that,” Dylan said.
“Okay.” She wrapped her arms around Skyler’s trembling body. “There were sixteen girls on that list.”
“I don’t think they are all alive. Hollywood keeps these girls so doped up they don’t know who they are half the time. He uses them for porno movies, as prostitutes for parties like these, and God knows what else.”
Leandra shivered, running her hands up and down Skyler’s arms.
“What do you want with me?” Skyler tried to undo her shirt again.
“Nothing, sweetheart. We’re here to bring you home.”
Leandra jerked when someone knocked at the door. She glanced over at Dylan, who raised his weapon.
“Fuck off, I’m busy,” he yelled.
“Open the damn door,” Nick’s voice rang out.
Leandra jumped to her feet as her heart pounded out of her chest. As soon as she pulled open the door, she wanted to throw herself in his arms, but instead, she helped the two girls Nick had with him to the bed.
“What the fuck is this?” one girl slurred out. “I hate orgies.”
The other girl flung herself at Nick, trying to grab him. “Not here for that.” He took her by the shoulders and sat her on the bed. “We’re here to get you out of this hellhole.”
“Yeah, right, whatever,” the girl said.
“That was fast,” Dylan said.
“When I saw Logan wandering around trying tolook like he wanted to get laid by some random chick, I knew something was up.”
“That’s fucking hilarious,” Dylan said.
“Where is Logan?” Leandra asked.
“He’s guarding the stairs, waiting for the two men who bought time with the other girls. He’ll tie them up in one of the other rooms and bring the girls here.” Nick leaned against the wall. “Then we make the lights go out and get these girls home.”
“You’re really going to get us out of here?” the girl who seemed semiconscious asked.
“We are,” Leandra said.
The girl buried her face in her hands and started to sob.
A drone appeared in the window at the same time as Logan pushed open the door, and two more girls entered the room.
“What the hell?” One of the girls stumbled, falling to the ground. She looked up with fear in her eyes. “What are you going to do with us?”
“They’re going to take us home,” the sobbing girl said.
“No shit?” the girl on the floor asked.
“We need to start moving,” Dylan said, pointing out the window. “We’ve got reinforcements on the ground, so as soon as the lights go—”
The room went dark.
“Move, move, move,” Nick commanded holding up a small light.
Leandra and Nick helped gather the girls at thewindow. Logan and Dylan tossed them over their shoulders one by one and slid them down a pulley to a group of men waiting to take them to safety. They worked quietly and efficiently, and in a matter of five minutes, they had all the girls out of the room.
“Let’s go, Leandra,” Dylan called.
