Leanna held her new phone and heaved a sigh. She went to the backdoor with the men and looked at the car not far from her before she said, “Give me a minute. I don’t feel too good.”

One of the men turned around and told her coolly, “We’re here to help, Miss McKinney. Don’t try to pull anything funny.”

Leanna bit her lip. “I won’t. I mean, look at me. I’m pregnant. What can I even do? You know how pregnant women are. Life’s a hassle for us. I can’t help it.”

The dagger was absurdly sharp, and she felt a sliver of pain coming from her neck.
