The Intruder

I just blinked, not knowing what to say, but he saw the belief in my eyes.

He nodded to me in agreement. “I’ll tell you something else. He’s gonna get himself killed soon and who knows what else will happen to you. Take this money and get in your car. Leave while you can. I like you, babe, but if I have to come back, I won’t be so gentle.”

With that, Rooftop left me, fucked, sore and naked on my bed. I fingered the cash while I thought about his words. Twenty minutes later, I was in my car and on my way out of town.
