The bald man sneered, stood up, and circled Luna a few times before finally squatting in front of her and grabbing hold of her chin. "Why would a gorgeous woman like you be on a blind date with a man like Master Crawford? Don't you think I'm so much manlier than him? Hmm?"
A glimmer of lustful greed flashed through his eyes." Have some fun with me tonight, won't you?"
"Harris! I'm the one you should be looking for, so don't make things difficult for this woman," yelled Caleb, frowning. "She's from Merchant City, and her family is very powerful and wealthy here, so don't you dare touch her!"
The man named Harris chuckled and reached out to grab hold of Luna's neck with one hand while the other pinched her cheek. "What's wrong? Are you worried about this woman, Master Crawford?
"You had simply gone on one dinner date with this woman, but why are you already so concerned about her? I never knew you were such a hopeless romantic!"
Harris' sweat and wine-stained fingers brushed across Luna's face, the sticky texture of his skin making Luna feel nauseous. She instinctively dodged away from him and said, "You know that he and I have just met, so why do you have to capture me as well when kidnapping him?"
"You two seem like long-lost friends and hit it off almost immediately," Harris replied, smirking, as he continued to pinch her face adoringly. "Besides, you've already witnessed us kidnapping him, so what would happen if you called the cops on us?"
With that, he curled his lips into a sneer and continued, "Do you know that every person who witnesses our wrongdoings in Lincoln City... has to be..."
He reached out and slid his finger across Luna's neck. "Snap."
The glimmer of malice in his eyes, as well as his tone, made Luna's blood run cold.
These men were just as cruel and heartless as Luke's.
Luna knew that just like Caleb, it was unlikely she would be able to make it out alive tonight.
"Harris." Caleb let out an exhale and said, "Let go of her; you and I should settle our vengeance on our own."
