https://archive.palanq.win/bant/thread/20472076/#20533313Lexi is escorted out of the motel and Cassie unceremoniously shoves her into a black Range Rover with heavily tinted windows. Someone deftly gags her from behind, and her world fades to darkness as a blindfold is applied.
Lexi’s heart quickens as she feels someone sit beside her, just before the Range Rover rolls into motion. “You’re gonna get honest with me before the day is though lass,” she hears Cassie whisper, her cousin’s breath warm on her ear, “or it’ll be your last regret.”
The warning sends a shiver down Lexi’s spine, and she says a silent prayer to The Foremother.
After a journey of roughly twenty minutes, the vehicle comes to a halt. A door opens and Lexi finds herself being pushed out of the vehicle. Still clad only in her bra and panties, a cool breeze against her bare skin causes a discomforting chill. But then she hears the door of a building being opened, and the chill soon fades as she’s taken indoors and shoved onto a chair. The blindfold is pulled away and Cassie glares down at her.
“I went to Japan not just because of the business opportunities there, but because I found out I had two cousins in GJPW,” Cassie says. “But from the moment I’ve found you, it’s been crystal clear that you’re keeping something from me. And now you’re in my city, carrying around my name, and leaving dead bodies in motels.” Cassie leans forward. “So by the time we’re done here, you’re gonna tell me just what kind of business you’re in, and with who, because I do not have room for uncertainties. Do I make myself clear?”
Lexi nods in response to the question, and Cassie unceremoniously rips the gag away from her mouth.
“Start by explaining why you killed that man you lured back to the motel. Who do you work for? Was he your employer's competitor?” Cassie asks.
