Bodhi's grip on me is firm and tight as he drags me over to a large black van. My stomach aches as I watch Ethan hop into the driver's seat, with Johnny accompanying him in the passenger seat.

He opens up the door and practically throws me inside. I let out a breath as I watch Grayson climb in with me.

"Savannah, I'm so sorry. He said he wanted to kill you the way his father killed your mother. I tried so hard to stop him, but all he kept saying was how he was going to kill you if I ruined his plan." He lowly whispers, his voice heavily trembling.

I shake my head back and forth while gulping. "He's kidnapping me, Gray."

"We're heading to the Santa Monica Airport after this. We're going to Fiji."

"Fiji?!" I loudly yell in shock.

"Ah, so you told her." Bodhi gets into the back on the van as a sudden motion jolts my body forward. Ethan really stepped on the gas pedal. "We're getting out of here, Georgia. You're coming with us."

I look back at Grayson with fear written all over my face. "But I-"

"Do you want to be with Grayson or not?" Bodhi harshly snaps.

"Babe, I'm so sorry." Grayson looks at me with tears in his eyes. His entire face is turning red.

"It's alright." Is all I manage to say.

"Sorry we didn't give you time to change. Looks like you're going to be standing out." Bodhi says while putting on his black gloves.

"Wait, what?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"Robbing our last bank before we disappear forever. You're helping us." A sick smirk grows on his lips.

"Are you serious? I can't!" I scream. God, what the fuck is wrong with him?

"Yes, you can and you will." He angrily says.

"Bodhi, this is fucked up. I'll let you get away with all of this, I'll never expose you. Please just let Grayson and I go." I beg with everything in me.

"Aw, cute. You think this is negotiable." He chuckles while passing Johnny and Ethan their ski masks.

"Bodhi, please just-"

"Ninety seconds, Savannah. That's all I ask for, ninety seconds of your life. This is our tactic, we strike fear." He loads bullets into his gun before cocking it. "It's basic psychology, if you scare them then they submit to you. If you project weakness, that promotes violence and that's how people get hurt. See, fear causes hesitation and hesitation causes your worst fears to come true."

I shake my head back and forth. "No, I can't do this."

"Who knows, you might like it." He lets out a laugh.

"Bodhi, this is your fucking wake up call. I am an FBI agent!" I scream as loud as I can.

"I know, isn't it wild? That's what makes it so interesting. You see, I took matters into my own hands. Since you can't be away from Grayson you're going to skip town with us and never come back."

I gulp, taking all of this in. I feel so fucking sick to my stomach.

"Sorry, we don't have an extra ski mask for you." I hear Johnny say from the passenger seat.

"Looks like everyone is going to see that gorgeous face of yours." Bodhi winks at me, which causes Grayson to wrap his arm around my waist.

"You two are pathetic." I watch this monster shake his head. "You let love get in the way, man."
