Naughty in Norway Read Online Free PDF

didn’t make a lot of noise and I think it had a silencer on it. That’s all I caught before I ran inside. They took a shot at me and missed. That’s all I know.”
    I listen intently as Mikkel turns to Lisetta and says something in Norwegian about traveling that totally freaks her out. Her natural rosy coloring goes paper-white as she argues vehemently with him. I catch a “no way” and “you can’t.” I tense up when I hear the name “Alreck” interspersed throughout the conversation. Where is this leading?
    This goes on for a few minutes with Lisetta becoming increasingly more upset before he grabs her shoulders and gives her a stern shake. He speaks in a gentler tone now, telling her everything will be okay.
    I watch in confusion as she sags against him and nods weakly. Without looking at me, she walks slowly down the hall toward my bedroom.
    This so cannot be good!
    I want to call out to her but fear keeps me immobile as I look into Mikkel’s agitated face. “Mikkel, what’s happening? I need to go to the police and give my statement now. I waited and gave you all I know.”
    With a deep frown he looks down at the carpet, as if searching for a way to tell a child something unpleasant.
    Desperately, I try again. “Mikkel, you’re scaring me. What’s going on?” I take a step back toward the door.
    No answer, but his vivid scotch eyes connect with mine and what I see within them scares me even more. He looks intent, and dangerous.
    The gravity of my situation hits me like a runaway train.
    Instinct tells me to run. Stupid, stupid! I shouldn’t have told them anything. I should have gone straight to the cops last night.
    I’m frightened and try to call his bluff. “This isn’t funny, Mikkel. I think you and your big buddies need to tell me what’s happening. I’m beyond sorry for your friend dying and I wish that there was something, anything, that I could have done last night to prevent it from happening, but I couldn’t. I told you all I know, now please leave me alone. I’ve had more than enough stress in the past twelve hours.”
    The tension threatens to tear me apart and I’m just barely holding it together. At this point all I want to do is talk to the police and crawl into bed for a few days. Why, why did I go out last night?
    Bern looks surprised and Mikkel’s frame locks still, his eyes narrowing in abject fury at my demanding tone.
    Way to go, Vail, now you’re in for it. Note to self, not the best idea to piss off burly bikers.
    In a deadly whisper, Mikkel hisses, “You think this is a fucking game, Vail? It sure as fuck is not and you’re going to do exactly as we say. You most certainly don’t call the shots. We do. You’re playing by our rules now.”
    My head jerks back slightly at his frightening words and demeanor. Damn! Why do they have to be so intimidating?
    Just as I’m about to turn around to make a break for it, Lisetta comes out of my room with tears rolling down her cheeks. She still won’t look at me as she drags one of my large duffle bags on the floor behind her and I can see that it’s bursting with my belongings. My jaw drops open.
    Before I can protest, Mikkel asks her in a stern voice, “ Har du pakket kun varme klær ?”
    With an annoyed look she answers him in English, “Yes, I packed warm clothes only.”
    I need to get out of here!
    Taking a deep breath, I whirl around and shove hard at Alreck’s torso in hopes of getting past him and out the door, but it is like trying to push over a brick wall. I’m unable to move him an inch as he effortlessly grabs me and pins my arms to my sides, clutching my back against his thick chest.
    “Let me go!” I scream at him as I twist about and writhe desperately, using all my strength. It’s not nearly enough. His power is irresistible.
    The men are yelling at each other and Lisetta is crying harder now, her delicate hands clutched against her wet cheeks. I swiftly pull my leg forward and slam my boot heel
