will do drastic things to support those he loves,” she states.
       “What? Does he have a million baby mommas running around begging for child support?” I laugh.
       “Where you raised to be rude and clueless? Or just plain selfish?” Jennifer asks.
       “Do you suggest I should give a flying fuck about anything that man is going through?”
       “Yes, you should. Seeing as your family is the reason he is without a home or a job. That his mother may lose her home. She depends on him to support her and without his job, he can’t.”
       “My family doesn’t have anything to do with his life. My father is a business man, not a bank,” I explain. “See? You have me confused for someone else. You can just let me go now, you have the wrong girl.”
       “Sage Donovan. Daughter of Carl Donovan. One of the owners of Royale South Hospitality. Oh, honey, we have the right girl,” she points out. I look up to ask her the connection between my father and Lynkin only to find I am alone in the room. I just don’t get it. We are from two separate worlds. My father would have no reason to go after someone like Lynkin, he doesn’t have anything my dad could want.
       I just want to get out of here and sleep in a decent bed. My phone! I run over to the table and shuffle around all my things trying to find it so I can call someone, anyone, but come up empty. The room phone! I run to the night stand and nearly knock everything off trying to pick up the phone. I am greeted with silence when I place it by my ear. Damn .
       There are three ways out of this room. The front door, the windows next to the front door, and a tiny window high up beside the closet. It’s worth a shot. I grab one of the chairs and carefully carry it to the window placing the back of it against the wall. I stand up on it and unlock the window. I push it open and try to pull myself up with my arms, but I’m just not high enough. I put one of my feet on an arm of the chair and the other on the back to push myself up some more.
       Just a little more . I jump up and get my top half through, only to knock over the chair. Knowing they will come plowing in here at any minute I start kicking at the wall to push myself the rest of the way out. Just as I hear the door bang against the wall, I give one final shove and I hit the outside pavement on my side.
       I don’t even take time to enjoy being free. I get to my feet and run. I stumble a few times before I finally keep upright, but I keep going. They are both behind me, I can hear them hollering at me. They sound distant compared to my bare feet kicking up rocks behind me and my heart beating loudly. I don’t make it far when I realize I have no idea where I am, and there is absolutely nothing around. There is nothing on either side of the road but flat fields and dirt roads. There isn’t even a place to hide. Just nothingness.
       I slow to a stop and spin around. Lynkin still running after me and Jennifer standing back at the hotel in the distance. When he stops in front of me dirt kicks up forming a cloud around us.
       “Damn, Beauty…” Lynkin pauses, bending over at the waist and placing his hands on his knees, “You have a pair of legs on you. That’s for sure.”
       I don’t even give him the satisfaction of replying. My plan is to walk past him back to the room, but my feet have their own idea. I guess the adrenaline kept me from feeling what I was putting them through while running. Now, well now, they hurt like a bitch.

     
    Lynkin
     
    This girl can run like no one’s business! I have to take a second to catch my breath once I get to her, because it took everything I had just to keep up with her. She sticks her nose in the air and starts to hobble past me back to the hotel. I hide my smile because I know it will just piss her off more, but when I drop my head I notice her feet are bleeding.
       I don’t know what comes over me. I don’t even remember
