SATURDAY. AEGIS GROUP Safe House, Seattle, Washington.

Bethany closed the bedroom door. It didn’t help the tension between her shoulders. Kyle was still under the same roof with her. But he was no longer her focus. Megan was.

“Is he gone?” Faith asked.

“I saw Zain and Roger leaving, but I don’t know if that means they’re gone.” Bethany crossed the room to the side of the bed.

“I never liked that man.” Megan glared at the door. “Dad always called him. I could never stand him.”

“You knew him?” Bethany asked.

“I wish I didn’t. I don’t think he remembered me.” Megan slid down a little farther in the bed.

“How are you feeling? Can I get you anything?” Faith perched on the edge of the bed.

“Shut the fuck up.” Megan glared at Faith. “You’re hovering.”

“It’s only because I care.” Faith smiled at their roommate.

“You’re being too fucking nice. Stop it.”

Faith recoiled, her face creased with lines.

“What the fuck is your problem?” Megan crammed the pillow behind her.

“I just—I’m glad you’re back, is all.” Faith shrugged but her face still looked like she was in pain.

“I think what Faith is trying to say is, we’re glad you’re back and we’re sorry we weren’t there to keep this from happening.” Bethany crossed to the other side of the big bed and sat on the vacant side.

“It’s not your fault this happened.” Megan stared at the comforter. “This is my dad’s fault.”

“Don’t say that. You can’t know who’s at fault here.” Bethany had watched the whole situation unfold, and she wasn’t sure any of them were at fault.

“My dad voted to keep this guy off the news. Without people knowing he was out there, how are they supposed to look for him? This is his fault. If he hadn’t let this guy get away, I would never have been kidnapped. Her house would not of been broken into. Faith would not of been attacked. None of us would be a target. The only reason we are roped into all this is because of my dad.”

“About your dad...” Faith glanced at Bethany. “I’m kind of jealous I didn’t get to meet him. You make him sound like the biggest ass hole on the planet.”

“He is.” Megan didn't seem as though she wanted to entertain the idea of her father being a decent person.

Bethany to know what to think about Megan's dad. Megan's whole family seemed like a complicated mess. But who was Bethany to judge?

“How the hell did you even know who my parents were?” Megan peered at Bethany.

“Oh, you listed them on your emergency contact information when we rented the house. I called our landlord and asked.” Truth was Bethany had her parents listed as her emergency contact as well. Besides the family she could no longer trust, these two women were all she had.

“Remind me to take them off,” Megan said.

“Not to change the subject or anything, but Kyle?” Faith asked.

“Kyle, that’s the one who busted Rogers balls?” Megan asked.

“Yeah, that would be Kyle.” Bethany examined her nails as if they were most fascinating thing of a room.
