CHAPTER 15

SARAH

“You can’t come,” Massimo says in the parking lot under Precious Blood.

“I can drive,” I remind him. “And if I can’t steal a set of car keys, I know how to get a cab. Don’t think I won’t, or I can’t, and don’t think your men can stop me.”

There was money in the safe. It’s in the desk drawer now. All I have to do is take it.

But then what? I don’t even know where we’re going.

Most of the men have loaded shovels and buckets in the backs of SUVs, like overgrown children going to the beach for a middle of the night sandcastle contest. Doors slap closed and engines hum as they exit in a line.

“I know.” Massimo throws two spades into his Suburban and shuts the rear door. It refuses to slam, hissing to a gentle close. “And I don’t think anyone can stop you.” He leans closer to me and speaks softly. “Except him.”

He means Dario. But Dario didn’t stop me. He told me a place to go so that I’d go there.

“I’m trained to be an obedient wife. He told me where Mom is. He wants me to go. So I go.”

All of those things are true, but unrelated. I am trained for obedience. Dario did tell me, and I’m sure he wants me to be the one to dig up whatever’s in the hole. But that’s not why I want to go. I’m sick of waiting around. I need to see this with my own eyes, and if it’s some kind of trap, so be it. I’ll be caught inside it.

“Get in.” Massimo taps his phone.

The car lights blink as the car beeps. Locks clack open and the engine turns over. It’s nothing like the Skylark’s step-by-step process, and again, I’m reminded of all I don’t know.
