Sydney pulls the car to a stop in front of the Inn, and we pour out of the cramped vehicle. A second later she motors off with a squeal of the tires.

Connor stomps inside without so much as a glance toward me. He hasn’t said a word to anyone since we talked by the polar bears.

“What’s up with him?” Akari holds the door open for me.

“Beats me,” I lie, knowing he’s angry with me even though he shouldn’t be. If he had given me a chance to explain, I would have said something. I don’t know exactly what, but it would have been reasonably good. I’m sure of it.

I take a deep breath and follow the others inside. They fade behind their doors, but I hesitate in front of mine and trace the twisted arrows symbol with the tip of my pointer finger.

Is this all that’s left of me?

Is Juliet Wildfire Stone gone, only to be replaced by a silly symbol?

At least Troy remembers who I used to be and.... Thinking about him sends a shiver of anxiety roiling through me. I unlock the door, scan the rooms, and call out his name, but he’s not here.

My heart thunders in my chest and my imagination races. What if Stuart caught him sneaking around his apartment? Would he hurt Troy? We’re still on the same side, aren’t we?

The dining room was bugged last night, but that doesn’t mean all that much. There are numerous reasons to snoop on a formal dining room, many of which don’t involve us. That bug could have been old. Stuart might not even know it’s there.

Still, my gut tells me he knew all about the listening device. After all, he knew how Blake found the Inn, which must mean that he had listened in on our conversation.

There’s only one way to find out if he’s spying on us, so I search the two rooms that make up my suite. Three smoke detectors are stuck on the ceiling for just two rooms—at least one too many. Stuart has bugged my rooms, just like the dining room.

I can’t escape the obvious: he’s spying on us. But why?

I start to pace as my thoughts hopscotch between Stuart, Troy, and Connor. My insides twist when I think about Troy. I can picture him snooping in Stuart’s bedroom when the diminutive Host waddled inside.

Though not physically imposing, Stuart probably has a gun or some other type of weapon. He poisoned us, so he won’t hesitate to hurt Troy if he wants to.

But why would he want to?

Just when I picture the worst for Troy, I remember the hurt on Connor’s face at the zoo. What’s his story?

He hinted at something important last night. Did he kill someone, and now have a hard time living with it? Does he drown the memory with booze?

I would’ve thought that ridiculous a month ago, but I killed a Seeker. Sure, I wasn’t left with any choice, but if I could kill a Seeker, why is
