“Yeah.”

“How quickly can you get here?”

“Kelly and I are free tonight.”

“Kelly? I assume that’s your wife?”

“She is. She’s been through some shit as well.”

“Welcome to the fucking club. All right. I’ll text you the address.”

“Falcon, you don’t need to text me the address. I was there when the house was being built, remember?”

Despite myself, I crack a smile at the memory. “Yeah. I remember. Nix it, though. Meet me at the hospital instead. I have to check on some people there.”

“Oh? Is Raven…”

Just the thought slices into me like a knife. “No. Some others.”

“Got it. Just text me where.” A short pause. “Maybe one day you’ll trust me enough to tell me what happened. Why you bagged on all our plans.”

I don’t answer.

Because that day will never come.

SAVANNAH

I think I’m awake.

But I’m not sure. The sun is streaming in from a window, hitting my face.

My mind is a haze, and I don’t feel like I can move my body.

It’s like one of those dreams you have in that semi-awake state. Where you know what’s going on around you, but you can’t move.

I’m not even sure where I am.

But I know something bad went down.

I close my eyes, turn, and inhale the scent of woods and musk.

Falcon.

I’m in Falcon’s bed.

And then I remember…

All the bad things…

How I may have—

I stifle the thought.

But it forces itself into my brain anyway.

I may have killed a man.
