"Had a nice talk?"
Valentina spun around in fright. He stood behind her, hands in his pockets. His face was calm. Her heart nearly tore through her ribs. "Are you following me now?!"
Luca's mouth curved faintly. "You know what they say. Keep your friends close and your annoying family members closer."
"You are insane."
"Yes, we covered that during your little betrayal arc." His eyes moved briefly to the building behind her. "Is this how Voss plans to protect you?"
"Get away from me!" She shoved him.
Luca barely shifted. His hand moved faster than her next breath. He snatched the keys from her fingers, caught her arm, and pulled her towards the passenger side.
"Let go of me!"
"Get in the fucking car."
She fought him anyway, twisting against his grip, her breath coming hard. Luca opened the passenger door and stuffed her inside. "Luca!" she shouted, scrambling upright.
