“Detro,” the other says.
“Who told you that?” I ask.
“Everyone is talking about it,” the first says. “His SUV was found this morning. With him inside.”
Oh fuck. Fuck… Archer is fucked…
“He was really drunk and crashed,” the second girl says. “He crashed into the woods and just kept going. At least that’s what I heard.”
“I heard he did it on purpose,” the first girl says. “He drove into the woods and… you know…hurt himself.”
“So you don’t know what happened?” I ask.
They both frown.
“Okay,” I say.
I turn and start to walk again.
This is what Cullen was talking about last night.
Archer set up the SUV to be found.
Just to get it out of the way.
Here’s Darby. He’s dead.
Now the rumors would swirl and I assume eventually die down.
Most know about Birdie.
And with Darby suddenly dead, they’ll connect the dots.
This whole mafia thing is almost sickening.
But it’s kind of genius.
Between Cullen and Archer…
… being terrified and turned on is just normal for me now.
Chapter 63
Cullen touches my chin and smiles at me.
“You’re not here, Jaci,” he whispers.
I nod.
I haven’t seen Archer since the night in the woods when he was setting up Darby’s body to be found.
“This is new to me,” I whisper.
“I know it is,” Cullen says. “It’s a lot to take in. And I know you’re worried about… someone else.”
“What happens to him next?”
“Nothing here,” Cullen says. “Worst case it becomes a family issue.”
