Amy's Pov

"Is this real?" I asked Mark.

"This is all real baby girl."

We are about half way to our new house, it is in a different state but it is away from any bidding areas. Sean did a check and there are no sex slaves that live in the town if there were he saved them and arrested the buyer. It has been a couple weeks since Jorden's court day but I can't shake that day, I thought I was going to lose Mark forever. He was either going to go to Jail for all of those lies she told or Devon was going to kill him.

"What are you thinking about?" Mark asked stopping at a red light.

"Can we get a dog?"

"I know that isn't what you were thinking about but sure! Dogs are always fun."

"I was thinking about these past two weeks, I almost lost you. The only person who cared for me."

"It is going to take a lot more than asshole cops and a knife to get rid of me."

"Good, because I don't think I can handle a world where your not in it."

He grabbed my hand then kissed it, Once his lips left my hand the light changed back to green and he kept driving.

"So Tyler and Ethan are going to look for a place up here, they gave their jobs two-week notice."

"What did they say when you didn't show up for work?"

"They called me, I told them that I was busy at the zoo. They tried to get me to come in but after all the lies, I am not doing it. I have no idea how that place is still open, everyone is either quitting or getting arrested."

"Well, you are out of there and not in handcuffs."

" I was expecting to be arrested." He said softly.

"But you didn't do anything wrong."

"No, but Jorden and Miller had to be working together. I was a dead man walking. If Devon didn't come in and tried to kill us Miller would have put me in jail for at least a year."

"Why does he hate you?"

"There was a case I was working on, he let the guy go with probation. He raped and killed two teens. The guy said he was high on drugs and didn't know what he was doing when he came too, he saw the kids dead on his floor and called the cops. Since he said he was sorry and called on himself Miller left him off. I went off on him in the courtroom, their parents did as well. Ever since then I try to keep away from him. He is not a fair person and not a fair judge."

"That is horrible, the parents lost their kids."

"When the inmates found out he was set free, they set a lot of stuff on fire, Miller was forced to send him to jail with protection."

"Good."

"We have about another couple hours and we will be in our new home."

"I can't wait! A fresh new start where no one knows who I am. But what will happen if someone moves there and they know who I am?"

"Most likely I will kill them, but before I do that I will call it in and if nothing happens then I will take matters in my own hands. No one is going to make you feel that pain ever again."

"Thanks." I looked out the window as we drove past a farm, " Look at all the cows!" I pressed my face against the window like a child.

"We can see if we can tour a farm if you would like, we might be able to pet a cow."

"Can we?"

"I can see what I can do." He was laughing.

"Thank you."
