Me:This is different.
Conor:You said that already.
Me:This was important to me.
Conor:Did he think he was doing it to protect you?
Me:No. He was testing me.
Conor:Oh. This is about the Sparrows in the Points, right?
Me:You knew?!
Conor:I bug all your phones, Savannah. What do you think?
Me:That you need to get a life. And if you listened to us having sex, then I’m going to kick you in the dick the moment I’m home.
Conor:I'm trying to get a life. Ain't that a part of the reason why you've gone to Jersey?
I huffed out a breath, well aware that he’d skipped over the part about him listening to Aidan and I having sex.
I was pretty goddamn sure Aidan had told me how many Sparrows were in the Five Points while he’d been inside me.
Or maybeafterwe’d come…
The orgasms tended to blur together, dammit to hell, so my memory was shot.
Me:You don't get a life by being with someone you love. You have to make your own life.
Conor:That's the title of your new self-help book, right?
Me:No. I’m being serious here, Conor.
Me:You really knew he was lying to me and didn't tell me?
Conor:Savannah, I gotta ask you a question. I need you to think long and hard about this one...
Me:What is it?
Conor:What about my brother didn't key you into the fact he's a chronic self-sabotager?
Before I could wince, he continued:
Conor:Don't answer yet. I just hacked your car's GPS and know you're on the outskirts of West Orange.
Conor:Let me know what your answer is when you arrive at the Lancaster place.
As he suggested, I didn't reply, just started up the car again, and as I rolled down the highway toward Thomas Edison's hometown—he was a total fraud as well.Men. I was just destined to be surrounded by the treacherous fuckers today—I thought about Conor's question.
"He has a point," I muttered to myself as I turned up the music so loud that it made my ears ache.
Trust me, when you grew up backstage at concerts, it took alotto make my ears twinge.
Screaming along with Miley Cyrus about wrecking balls and adding a few choice lyrics about the balls I was going to wreck when the day was done, I made my way to the address Conor had given me.
I'd meant to head here earlier, but that hadn't worked out.
Researching the Sparrows' induction process had been fascinating and had taken pretty much all of my spare time.
