Chapter 15

“Whatever we’re gonna do, we need to do it quickly,” Max stated. Our nights' sleep had been cold and miserable, each of us surging with adrenaline and drooping with exhaustion at the same time.

Jordyn had taken to pacing the cave, looking a bit stiff around the edges. But for the most part, he was surprisingly strong. His smooth hair had been pulled back into the ponytail I remembered when I had met him in Italy, back when he’d come to our rescue. I hoped he could pull it off again.

“Yes,” Jordyn answered, continuing his pacing. “The only chance we have is to keep to the cliff. There are too many men down the other side. But you said you don’t know where—where Enrica went?”

Max shook his head angrily, wiping a hand across his face. “She wasn’t thinking Jordyn, I’m sorry. I doubt she even knew where she was going. I think we can both wager a guess, though.” Jordyn was nodding, and I supposed I knew as well.

She was out for revenge.

“If only she knew you were alright,” I said, wishing Enrica had stayed a few minutes longer. She’d been so out of control.

Jordyn shook his head, looking a hint wild as strands of hair escaped from his ponytail. “We can’t think like that. If it’s one thing we know, it’s that Enrica can handle herself. All we can think about is how we are going to get Givanni out of here. I doubt he will live another night.” He glanced at my face and nodded. “Yes, I saw him—but that was yesterday, and I barely made it back to the cave myself. Their security patrolmen almost got a hold of me and I fell down half this cliff. But Givanni didn’t look well, and by the conversations I overheard he was becoming a problem they were tired of dealing with. He escaped once from L.A., using the ocean, so they brought him here where swimming was a death sentence. If Enrica caused any problems last night he might already be dead.”

I flinched. Didn’t he know what he was doing? If he wanted me to concentrate on his infernal plan, he needed to stop bringing up my entire reason for living and crushing it so completely.

Max was staring at me, and I met him with what I hoped was determination. His reaction was unreadable, his face always a bit perplexing. “We have rope,” Max started, keeping his eyes on me. I nodded like I knew exactly what to do with that. His eyes jumped to Jordyn. “So let’s get started. He’s in the outbuilding at the volcano's edge, right?”

Jordyn nodded, looking glum as Max handed me a coiled bundle of rope. It lit a fire in my chest that undoubtedly burned in my eyes. Did he want to just dig a hole and throw me in right now? His lack of confidence in me was infuriating; with the way he’d said my name still echoing in my head.

We loaded up our packs and headed for the mouth of the cave.
