“Hence the fucking reason I don’t know what to do,” I growl. And she’s not delusional or suffering a psychotic-” She’s been clean for years though, and I haven’t noticed any track marks. “I can’t find anything at all in her history-besides drug use-that would make her willing to do anything like this. He scrubs his face before shoving a file at me. It’s a terrible fucking way to stall, but it’s the only solution I currently have. Since I don’t know what, I cuffed her in place.” She’s fucked my head up so much that I can’t bear turning her over to anyone in this town or the FBI.

“I have no idea what to do right this second. “Cuffed to my bed,” I say when I lower the bottle. I run my sleeve over my eyes, then turn up the bottle.

I couldn’t stick around for a full confession.” “Yeah,” I say, dropping to a chair and grabbing the bottle of whiskey he has hanging out of his go-bag.

I’m trying to find some more info on Ken-” I slam the door behind me, and stalk next door to where Leonard almost falls off the chair when I burst in. “Her revenge?” I ask bitterly, shaking my head as I turn and stalk away. “Someone like that ?

I’m fucking done with you,” I say on a broken promise. “Logan!” she yells, but I turn around and face her, slowly regaining my calm. “You knew!” I shout with accusation, as my fist slams into the wall, and my entire body heaves for a breath of air that doesn’t feel lined with lead.

In this unit, you train against showing emotion at all costs. “You knew?” I ask her quietly, my tone full of disbelief and heartbreak.Įverything hurts right now, even as I fight off the onslaught of emotions. She doesn’t even have to say the words, but I want to hear them. “Or living just a few cabins down, right?” I ask dryly, though there’s an edge to my tone that has her entire body stiffening. Don’t scare someone like that when there’s a serial killer literally in our backyard.” She jerks out her earbuds, clutching her chest with her free hand. Hadley jumps when I sling open the door to her room.
