I pulled my gun, clenching my jaw as I watched the guy lunge forward. Before he could get to me, Sam was stepping in front of me.
"Julia, go!" Sam hissed as I nodded and turned to run back to the car.
I was trying to be calculated but before I knew it I was being tripped, causing me to stumble to the ground.
"SAM!" I screamed as the guy who tripped me started dragging me towards a car. I fought as hard as I could but was being thrown into the backseat of a car.
"Just relax. Nobody is going to hurt you." The guy said as he got in the car and started quickly driving off.
"No, but I'll hurt you." I snarled and pulled my gun out, unclipping the safety.
"Really, Juliana. Just relax." The guy said calmly. I didn't know why I was believing him, because obviously I was being kidnapped.
I guess he just had a calm demeanor surrounding him and he wasn't actively trying to hurt me or anything like that.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked with a sigh. "There was a big call to capture you. A lot of money involved. I can't tell you who put out the notice." The guy said and continued to drive.
"Am I going to get killed?" I asked as he checked his rearview mirror multiple times.
"No." He said simply then quickly swerved to get away from the car following him.
I sighed and crossed my arms, annoyed with the fact that I couldn't even go on a simple drug run without something happening.
We drove for a while, seemingly making turns to avoid being followed.
I assume it was Sam that they were trying to lose, but if I wasn't in danger and wasn't going to be killed, why were they so concerned with losing him.
After about twenty minutes of driving, we arrived to a nice looking mansion that was in a gated community.
"Alright, let's go." The guy said and got out of the car. I rolled my eyes and got out of the car, keeping my guard up and my hand placed on my gun.
"I'd be careful about having the gun." The guy warned as we made our way to the front door.
"I'm not going in unarmed." I said blandly as he knocked on the door in a very specific way. "Suit yourself." He said as the door open.
"Ah. You found her." A man in a nice suit said as he opened the door. "Come on in, Juliana." The man said then looked at the man I was with.
"You wait here. We'll get your money after he talks with Juliana." The guy in the suit said then led me through the elaborate mansion.
"Who wants to talk to me?" I asked and followed the man. He ignored me and walked down the hallway before knocking on a door and opening it.
"Go on." He said as I sighed, walking into the room. "Ah, they finally tracked you down." A man wearing a suit said as he stood up from his desk.
"I guess so. And you are?" I asked and blinked slowly. "Gavin Newsom." He said and held his hand out.
"The...the governor?" I asked as he nodded. "Bingo." He said then sat on his desk. "Okay....and you wanted to kidnap me because...?" I asked and crossed my arms.
"Not kidnap. You're just harder to track down than I thought." He hummed. "And how do you know about me?" I asked, raising my brows.
"As someone who's been in the game for as long as you've been in it, I think you should know my role in all of this." He said as I nodded.
