Hitching A Ride Pacing the bedroom , Genesis was trying to find ways to get out .
After kicking and smashing at the door , which was locked from the outside , she tried the windows .
They were four floors up .
Though he only brought her up one flight of stairs , it was apparent one side of the house was higher than the other and this side was the taller one .
Moving back to the window she watched as Kiefer left the house , his face and neck a bright shade of red as if in a rage .
His footsteps Wer fast and then he was pressing a key fob to open the garage .
In minutes he came tearing out of the garage in a sports car and was gone through the gates and onto the street , his tires blackening the asphalt as they spun .
He was gone .
Hed left .
She wasnt sure how long he was going to be gone but she realized this was the time for her to escape .
She needed to find a way out of this room and this house .
Racing back to the door she tugged and pulled and kicked it again .
Looking all around the room she was searching for something to break through the door .
on Her eye caught the lamp the nightstand , and she grabbed it .
It was heavy and made of metal .
She removed the shade and the bulb and then unplugged it .
Swinging it multiple times she bashed the doorknob .
If she could break the doorknob off , she could get the door open .
Come on , Genesis , you need to do this and get home .
Astra and Egan were waiting for her at their rendezvous spol .
She felt her heart stop when the doorknob dangled precariously .
She smashed it three more times and finally it fell to the floor .
She fidgeted with the internal mechanisms of the knob which were stuck holding the door closed and then got it opened .
Sticking her head into the hall , she listened for voices .

Tiptoeing down the stairs Kiefer carried her up , she could hear yelling coming from a room near the bottom .
Ducking behind a door she covered her mouth to try to hide the sound of her breathing .
Tadgh , Jerren , and Aoife were arguing .
You didnt like her either Tadgh ! Are you kidding me right now ? Tadgh grumbled .
I always liked her , but I didnt like the way she made him react .
He was so into her , he wasnt thinking clear .
He fucking married her within weeks of meeting her .
He was reckless and unlike himself and it freaked me the hell out .
But then I spent time with her .
I got to know her .
I learned about her .
She was a good woman , Aoife and you destroyed our brothers happiness over a bullshit scheme of wanting to have Laoise as your sister .
She deserves it more .
Why ? Because shes done things for this family and that bitch hasnt .
Hitching A Ride 3/8 By your logic , you shouldnt be part of the family then .
Youve never done anything for the family business .
Genesis decided shed heard enough .
She looked around for an exit and her eyes widened at the sight by the front door .
Someone had dropped her backpack and shopping bag by the front door .
It couldnt be this easy , could it ? She ran to the door and grabbed the bags and then ran back into the house , ducking into a side room .
She knew better than to try to simply walk out the front door .
There were bound to be soldiers everywhere .
She transferred some of her things from the shopping bag into the backpack and then looked at the cheap cell phone .
She needed to find a way to get it charged .
For now , though , her main priority was to escape .
She peeked back out of the room she was in and then made her way to the back of the house .
Slipping through , she exited out the back door and onto a small patio .
A pool was there , and she noted the pool house at the far end .
Entering the pool house , she hid for a moment when she heard people coming towards her .
I cant believe he shot Barry .
I cant believe I have to clean it up .
Fucking gross .
He must have really pissed the boss off to get shot in the face .
Well , lets take his body to the shop .
Well get rid of it but man , we need to find out what the fuck he did .
This guy barely spoke Hitching A Ride two words and now he has no face .
4/8 She covered her mouth to stop the gasp from coming up .
Kiefer killed Barry .
She couldnt remember his name earlier , but she knew now Barry was the man who used to hold her down for sexual favors from Aoife .
Her heart thundered as she waited for the men to go in the direction shed been heading .
Where the hell was , she going to go to get out of here ? She came out of the pool house and then raced through the garden and prayed she came across the end of the property sometime soon .
After nearly thirty minutes she found herself looking at another house .
There was another house .
She didnt know who lived there but she prayed it wasnili someone who kept guard dogs .
Putting her toes into the chain link fence and climbing it , she scratched her legs as she scampered down the other side .
She froze at the sound of people talking and she ducked behind a bush and noted an older lady sitting and talking to a younger man .
She twisted her lips at the scene she was spying on when the man called the woman Mom and poured her lemonade .
Someday she hoped Egan would come visit her like this and take care of her the way this man was taking care of his mother .
Sliding along the side of the house she threw yet another prayer of thanks to whatever guardian angel was watching her today .
There sitting in the middle of the driveway was a motorcycle , key in the ignition and a helmet sitting on the seat .
Hitching A Ride 5/8 Could she steal a motorcycle ? She was running from the Irish mob .
Of course she could steal a motorcycle .
Adjusting the backpack on her back , she crossed her fingers she didnt kill herself before hitting the road .
Deciding against starting it up in the driveway , she coaxed it down the drive and reminded herself of the time she and Astra toured Ireland on motorcycles .
It was when shed met Kiefer .
Theyd gotten turned around and ended up in an unsavory section of town .
Walking into a pub to ask for directions , shed stumbled over the broken sidewalk and straight into Kiefers arms .
Theyd made love the first day and didnt stop for a full year every chance they got .
She pushed the thought away and then climbed on the bike .
It was a bit big for her , but beggars couldnt be choosers .
She revved the engine , grateful for the luck she was finding .
It didnt take much time for her to drive through the streets and while she didnt really know where she was going , she did know she was putting distance between herself and Kiefer OReilly .
When the streets started getting busier and more crowded , she found a place to park the bike .
Hopping off she ducked into a café .
Ordering a tea , she was never going to drink , she sat in the furthest corner of the room , her eyes on the door and waited for her phone to charge .
Two girls sitting at the next table were talking about going to to visit one of the girls mother .
Sacramento Hey , sorry to eavesdrop .
Did you say you were going to .
Sacramento ? Yes .
Hitching A Ride Today? Yes , were leaving here soon .
Why ? Ill give you a grand in cash if you take me with you .
The two women blinked .
Are you a criminal or something ? 6/8 Nope .
Running from an angry ex husband .
Hes probably going to watch all the bus stations here in town .
I only need to get to Sacramento so I can catch a bus or train to Seattle and then to Vancouver .
Is he dangerous ? Will he hurt us if he catches up to you ? God no .
Hes infuriated because I called him out for having his girlfriend in the house .
He tried to tell me they were friends , and when I caught them in bed it was only because they fell asleep watching a movie on his tablet .
He thinks because Im pregnant I should forgive him but Im not the forgiving type .
The lies were falling like rain .
A grand ? one of the girls asked .
Yeah .
Its all the money I have , she kept up the bullshit , but a friend of mine is going to wire me money once I get there .
She lives in Canada .
Im going to visit her until I figure out next steps , you know ? Ive been with him for years and I knew he was cheating , I just knew it ! she let some tears fall for good measure .
Can we see the money up front ? Yeah , she dug into the space where she had her money broken up in sections and pulled the elastic wrapped cash out .
Its in fifties and one hundreds .
Ill give you half now and half when we get there ? Deal .
Were going to finish our coffee and go .
Its a five hour drive and we should be there by ten .
Were going because my cousin is getting married tomorrow , but we didnt want to get there too early .
Were a couple , the girl waved between them , and my parents are judgemental as hell .
Im sorry to hear this .
If you pay us the money , well be able to stay in a hotel instead of my parents house , one of the girls shrugged .
Okay .
She opened her phone and sent a text to Astra .
Found a way to Sacramento .
Meet you tomorrow .
Youre safe ? The immediate response almost rendered her to tears .
She took a breath and typed back .
For now .
Stick with the plan to meet in BC .
Ill see you then .
As she tucked the phone into her bag and followed the two girls out of the café , she prayed shed be seeing her friend and holding her son as soon as tomorrow .
Everything else would have to wait .
