“Leave?” Watching the two women comfort each other, Victor let out a cold laugh. “None of you are leaving tonight.”

“I don’t think so,” Hayden said, his face grim and his voice raspy. “It’s late. My wife needs her beauty sleep, and we have no desire to waste any more time with you.”

He continued, “Be smart about this. Let it go now, and I’ll let what happened to your son slide. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what comes next.”

As Juniper wondered, the door swung open again. The police captain and his officers rushed in, their eyes landing on the trio. “Are these the ones who hurt your son?”
