Neil’s eyes clouded with confusion. “Beth?”

“Your daughter. Where isshe?”

Neil didn’t flinch. “I don’tknow.”

He winced. “No need to be a brute. Just tell me what you want toknow.”

“I want to know what thefuck— ”

The rest of his sentence was lost to an ear-splitting explosion somewhere behind Declan. A second later a dark circle appeared on Neil’s forehead. Declan was so shocked he didn’t realize what it was until blood started oozing from thehole.

Neil’s eyes had gone wide andunseeing.

“Whatthe— ”
