He had faith in the car's sturdy build.
As long as Millie stayed inside, she
would be safe. His fear was that if
she panicked and fled the vehicle,
only to be taken hostage, things
would become complicated. The

He was confident he could handle the four men.
Marcus gently ran his large hand over Millie's head. The gesture had a calming
effect on her, like a soothing balm to her rattled nerves.
He had just assured her that he would protect her. He had said it so seriously.
