Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 195

"I've sent you his number; remember to save it." I immediately sent Neil's number to Kitty.

Kitty was thrilled, "Awesome! Thanks!"

If she could help me out with Neil, I should be the one thanking her.

Just then, some of Kitty's friends found her, so she said goodbye and left.

I stood alone on the street for a while, reluctant to go back and continue drinking. So I shot a message to Stella and the gang in our group chat, then called Bailey to pick me up.

"Miss, are you alone?" As I was waiting for Bailey, a few young lads swarmed over, grinning and asking me questions.

I shot them a glance and immediately took a few steps back.

Then Finn Hackett showed up, rubbing his bald head and showing his hypocritical smile, "You're Ms. Finch, right? Let me introduce myself. I'm Finn."

Finn obviously came for me, but I couldn't understand why. The last time his men hit my car, the police didn't have enough evidence to nab him. Even though he was a small-time punk, he was pretty good at dodging jail time.

Neil had pulled some strings to get those two punks to snitch on Finn, but because his methods were unorthodox, the evidence handed to the police may not hold water and could even backfire.

"Finn, what do you want with me?" I asked coolly. We were on a busy street with surveillance cameras everywhere. He couldn't possibly do anything to me in broad daylight.

"I'm flattered that Ms. Finch would recognize a nobody like me." Finn grinned, "Since fate brought us together, why don't we grab a coffee? I'd like to get to know you."

I frowned, and my gaze darted towards the entrance of Cielo Nocturno. If Stella and the others came out looking for me right now, I might be able to ditch him.

But I had already sent a message saying I was heading home, so they wouldn't come looking for me.

"Finn, if you have something to say, spit it out. My friend's on her way to pick me up. As for the coffee, let's take a rain check. I'll treat you next time." I said with a smile.

"It has to be today. I know a place that serves killer coffee. It'd be a waste not to go. Ms. Finch, my car's over there, shall we?" Finn pointed to a car parked by the curb.

If I refused, he might resort to violence to get me in the car. He was a notorious scumbag, not giving a damn about what people thought was his MO.

"Alright, let's grab that coffee." I scanned the area. With so many cameras around, if I disappeared, the cops would be able to find me easily. Plus, Bailey would be here soon. If she couldn't find me and couldn't reach me, she would know that something was up.

Right now, not doing as Finn said might only add fuel to the fire.

Once in the car, Finn made a call while sitting next to me, "We've got her. Don't worry, I'll handle it just fine."

I faintly heard a woman's voice on the other end.

"Finn, we don't really cross paths. Why are you inviting me for coffee? Can you tell me who you're working for?" I asked.

"Ms. Finch, I know who your father is. I don't want to cross him. But I had no choice; doing shady stuff for others is my job." Finn chuckled, showing off his disgusting yellow teeth.

I kept my cool, "So the car accident last time was that also part of your ‘job,’ right?"

Finn was a bold one. He laughed, "Yes, but everyone's got a backer. I've got mine now, so I'm not scared."
