He shifts backward but doesn’t leave.
“Look…” I lower my voice and slide her hand a few inches to pull her closer. “I know about the lake house—”
“How?”
“I’m getting to that. Bloody hell, woman. Be patient.”
She bares her teeth. “Archer…”
“Boxcar told me about it.”
The anger in her fades, instantly replaced with fear. “Boxcar?”
“Yes.”
“Fox Fitzpatrick’s little hacker buddy knows about it?”
I nod and gesture to the knife. “Please…”
Lilah raises her head and scans the prying eyes around us as the knife clatters against the table. “I have to go…” she whispers.
“I’ll take you—”
“Stay away from me.”
“Lilah—”
She jerks from my hands and bolts for the nearest exit.
“Shit.” I stand up, reach into my pocket for some cash to toss on the table, and chase her outside. “Lilah, stop.”
She quickens her pace, forcing me to do the same.
I catch up to her as she throws open the door to my trailer. “What are you doing?” I ask.
“Do you have any idea what Fox is capable of?” she asks, beelining into the back to grab her duffel bag.
“Yes, I do.” I block the door. “Calm down.”
“I shot Boxcar.”
“It was a flesh wound. Trust me. He’s fine.”
She throws the bag over her shoulder. “They could be on their way there right now. I have to call my brothers and tell them that Fox fucking Fitzpatrick knows about our goddamn safe house!”
“Dante already knows that.”
She freezes. “What?”
“He spoke with Fox two days ago.”
Her expression twists. “No, he didn’t.”
“Yes, he did. Just after you and Elijah left. I saw it myself.”
Lilah drops the bag to her side. Fear, confusion, hatred. It all passes through her eyes in seconds. “Dante talked to Fox?”
“Yes.”
