Page 86 of When You See Me

I left this place.

I survived Jacob Ness.

And right now, if his father turns on me with that shotgun, I will have him facedown on this floor with his own shotgun pressed against the back of his head so fast, even Keith won’t see it coming. And if he twitches, I’ll pull the trigger without thinking twice.

Something must show in my face, because Walt takes a nervous step back.

Fuck this entire damn shack. And thank God Jacob Ness is already burning in hell.

“I’m done here,” I state. Then without waiting for either Walt or Keith to respond, I head straight up the rickety stairs, out of the collapsing cabin, and right to the middle of the clearing till I can feel the wind on my face.

I am free, I tell myself.

And for the first time in years, I almost believe it.
