“You really want to know?”
She nods.
I chuckle darkly, sitting forward. “I hope he rots in that jail cell until they have to scrape him up off the floor with a shovel.”
She stares at me a beat, concern pooling in her eyes.
Funny. That’s the only emotion I’ve seen from her all day.
Ting . . .
And just like that, time’s up.
I stand before anyone can stop me. I need to get the fuck out of this stuffy little office before I say some shit that will get me locked in a padded room.
“Mason, wait!” Savannah calls as I exit the building Kenda’s office is in. The heat of the day washes over me and sweat dots my brow as I search for my truck.
Then, I remember . . . Mila and Raul, one of Mom’s drivers picked me up.
Fuck.
“Can you just stop running, you big asshole?” Savannah pants, catching up to me when I stop on the sidewalk.
I need a beer. Or to hit something. Or to fuck my pretty little receptionist.
Maybe all three.
“What, Savannah?”
While Bailey and I are close, Savannah and I couldn’t be further apart. She’s always been cold. I’ve always been colder. Where she’s starting to open up after everything happened, I’m shutting everyone out because once they see what’s inside my fucked-up head, they’ll never want me around, anyway.
“Mom got another letter.”
Of course, she did.
“What about this time?”
She shakes her head, watching a car pass us by on the road. “It was encrypted. Logan took it in to be cracked. But I think it has something to do with Melissa.”
Prince didn’t tell me that.
“Good. Maybe they’ll kill her and save the rest of us some trouble.”
“What about Parker?”
I whirl on her, the mention of his name like a shot of fire in my veins. “What about him?”
Savannah remains unfazed. “He’s dying. He might have some inkling to where she’s at, but he won’t talk to Logan.”
I shake my head. I know what she’s asking. “No.”
“He knows things, Mason. Things that could be useful. He won’t talk to any of us, but maybe if you go, he’ll let something slip.”
“You sound like Prince.”
“Isoundlike I’m right. We still don’t have anything on the Brethren and if someone’s got her, that must mean they’re out to get Mom, too. We have to do something. Please just think about it.”
“I said no.”
