She sobbed, but this wasn't in fear, but great relief as he scooped her cold muddied body up and began to carry her. It didn't matter where he took her, she had a feeling she would be safe with him until at least the morning, then she could get him to help her. He would help her even if he probably did want sex. It didn't matter as long as he helped her.
Ethan looked down at her as they got into his home to see her in an exhausted sleep. Cleo followed them and she was too busy looking around the strange front room to notice where he laid Nicole, but when she noticed him heading to what looked to her to be a couch worth more than eight of her paychecks she told him to stop. She ran in front of him and laid out a clean blanket she had brought from her home knowing Nicole would need it when he brought her back.
Ethan impatiently let Cleo busy herself in getting the other blanket off before he laid her down, then he wrapped her up. "I'll take care of her, Cleo. Thank you." He wanted to be alone with her.
"We should call the police."
"Did she say so?"
"No. She told me not to or Marvin would kill her."
"I'll take care of everything. If she doesn't want the police called we won't call them, yet."
