My hand clenched on the chocolate as I strode into the trees. After a few more yards, I spotted another wrapper. I snatched it up.
“Let’s move.”
Chapter 29
Allie
Iwas a little bit out of breath as I followed Blake up the hill.
The trees closed in around us, the leaves all vibrant and beautiful. But I couldn’t appreciate the beauty right now.
Had Caden noticed I was gone?
I was almost out of chocolate. I was spreading the distance out a bit more before I dropped a piece, but any more, and I’d risk him not finding me.
Hell, I hoped no animals were eating it.
“Are we almost there?” I huffed out.
“Yeah.” Blake wasn’t even breathing hard.
We turned the corner on the trail, and he suddenly stopped.
A clump of rocks sat just off the track. He stepped closer, and pushed aside some sticks and dried leaves.
I spotted a black sports duffel bag.
He pulled it out and rested it on top of one of the rocks, then unzipped it.
It was filled with baggies. My mouth went dry. I could see some had pills and others were filled with white powder.
“So what’s your pleasure, pretty Allie?”
Shit, I didn’t know anything about drugs. I’d smoked weed a few times in high school but that was it. “Ecstasy?”
He nodded. “You got cash?”
“Back in my locker at the hotel.”
“Okay.” He handed me a baggie filled with several pills.
I took the baggie and stuffed it in my pocket. I needed to remember this location so I could bring Caden here and get the entire stash.
“I need to take a leak,” Blake said. “Don’t run off.”
He stomped into the trees. I quickly pulled out my phone and took a few pictures. I was sliding it away when he reappeared.
His gaze narrowed. “What are you doing?”
“Nothing.”
“You were taking photos.”
“No. God, you’re a paranoid prick. Can we just go?”
“Show me the phone.” His tone had turned cold.
My pulse kicked into overdrive. “No.”
