Emily spent the next few days trying to come up with a plan. She couldn't ask Ethan for help, as she didn't want to endanger him.Finally, she came up with an idea.

Emily had a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, I'm in. What's the plan?"The man grinned. "First, we need to get you and your husband to safety. The boss is going to be coming after you now that you have that evidence."Emily felt a pang of fear in her chest.
