Faith sighed again. “Well, shocker, when he got there, he started being an asshole.”
“What the hell did you expect? You called me and said you were bleeding, Faith! You scared the shit out of me!” Zane exploded.
“As I was saying,” she said, cutting her eyes at him. “We fought again, and I ran upstairs. Unfortunately, I was still bleeding badly and it got everywhere. I’m sorry, you guys, I’ll pay to have your house cleaned. I’ll pay for new carpet if I have to.”
“She needs stitches, but she won’t…fucking…go!” Zane roared, punctuating his last words.
“Must be an epidemic,” I muttered, tossing a look at Phoebe.
Zane motioned to the front door. “If that’s all, you can get the hell out now.”
I almost backed out. Everything had been cleared up, and Phoebe and I could leave without any more drama. But if I’d learned one thing, it was everything came back to bite me in the ass. She’d confessed to visiting Elisabeth Cayden’s dump site, and if I withheld this right now, it’d be a guaranteed way to lose her. With a deep sigh, I sat down and rubbed my eyes.
“I’m going to tell her, Z.”
He regarded me cautiously. “Tell her what?”
“Your friends. Hough. Everything.” Dropping my hands, I bounced my eyes from him to Phoebe, both wide-eyed and quiet.
“I’m listening,” she said, backing against a wall for support.
If I owed her one thing, it was to look her in the eye as I destroyed her. “You’ve been under surveillance for weeks by some not so legal people employed by him.” I nodded toward Zane. Her hand backed against her mouth as I delivered the final blow. “Your father murdered Elisabeth Cayden, and he’s been tracked to Los Angeles.”
