It's all the confirmation that Caden needed that this isn't over. They're
going to extort him over and over because they know they can get away with
it, because there's no amount of money Caden wouldn't give to ensure
April's safety. He knows it and they know it.
Caden's jaw ticks at the comment and a final clap of thunder sounds
overhead as they leave the room. April lurches away from his side and Caden
follows like they're connected by a string, wincing in sympathy when she
rips the tape off of her mouth.
"God, April, are you okay?" She is okay. She's whole and standing in front
of him, looking more pissed off than anything else, but he still has to
ask. He reaches up to cup her cheek, taking a deep breath for the first
time in a day. "I was so fucking scared."
