“I think so. What will happen?” I asked.
“You need to drink the mixture in the glass next to you. This will relax your body and enable you to allow the chamber to provide you with what you need.”
“Will I remember everything?”
“You will remember what your mind wants to remember.”
“Oh.”That’s a convenient way of getting out of this.
“Lacey, you can leave the chamber now and accept Carter is telling the truth,” Clay said. But he no longer understood this was more than Carter right now and if I was honest with myself, I believed Carter and didn’t need it any longer.
What I did need was closure on my parents’ death, though something inside me knew I wasn’t about to get it with this memory recall, but I still had to do it.
Hopefully, I’d soon know why.
“Let’s do this,” I said, swallowing a small clog in my throat.
“One more thing,” Clay said.
I stared at him and nodded.
“Once you’re finished, you need to drink another potion. This will help you retain the genuine memory.”
I nodded.
Thinking about what I needed to do. Transmitting the entire memory to Kane in case I couldn’t remember. Now I trusted him more than anyone else, and he wanted to help and promised he would help me find the answers.
“Drink the potion when you are ready, Miss Summer,” an unfamiliar voice said over the intercom. It was static and grated through me like a steel knife cutting into a china plate.
I stared at the man behind the booth and narrowed my eyes, but couldn’t see past the shine on his mask that had bounced from the low level overhead lighting.
“Once you drink the potion, relax into the seat and the chamber will take over.”
I picked up the glass beside me, passed my tongue over my bottom lip as I thought about what I was about to do.
Taking in a deep breath, I wondered if I could relax enough to not drink the potion. Would they know?
‘‘I’m about to drink the potion, Kane. Keep me linked.’’
‘‘I will.’’
Knocking the drink back, I relaxed back in the deep, white chair and closed my eyes and waited.
Chapter 50
Lacey
Irandownstairstothe knock on the door, wondering if Carter had come to my home. Normally he wouldn’t because my dad was quite the grouch or protective, if you preferred. Worse, if he thought Carter would turn up if they weren’t around, but Carter knew we had cameras in the house.
He wouldn’t take the risk—would he?
But it didn’t stop me from thinking he wanted to meet me at my home and take me to his. Sometimes he could be a gentleman and his parents weren’t so strict with us and let us go to his bedroom. Whereas, Carter didn’t know which bedroom was mine. Thinking of it, I wasn’t sure he’d been upstairs at all.
Maybe with Lucas when he was alive.
I opened the door, surprised to see my uncle Clay, and Yuri, one of his bodyguards. Which was strange because my uncle didn’t need a bodyguard. We were within the safety of the Oak Perimeter, it was the safest place in the world.
“Hi, Lacey. How are you today?” Clay asked.
