“I know,” I murmur, and I do. “I just fucking hate him so much. He ruined my life once, I can’t let that happen again, and yet I’m sitting here like I’m back at that barn, useless and scared and not doing anything—”
“But you are. You’re keeping yourself and me alive. You’re giving your family a chance to stop this without any bloodshed—well, apart from him. You’re not helpless, Blair. You are stopping a criminal, a murderer, in the best way you can by keeping yourself out of his grasp and alive. By letting the finest men for the job do what they do best. I know you hate letting others help, but this time you have to. If they don’t have him by sunrise, we can come up with another plan, but for now, let’s try this.”
And that’s what it comes down to, doesn’t it? Hoping Crew catches him by sunrise, even as some part of me hopes they don’t. Hopes they don’t meet him.
My past and present are colliding. Nothing good can come from it, and despite what they all say, this isn’t their battle.
It’s mine, and this time I’m ready to go to war.
This time, no one dies.
This time, I’m not the victim.
He is.
