Chapter 8

The room was just as Jonah said—not the greatest, but fairly clean. Two full-sized beds, with a nightstand between them holding a lamp and a phone. A dresser with a television on it. At the end of the narrow room, a bathroom with a stand-up shower.

Piper was beyond caring about the accommodations. He could’ve brought them to a cave covered in mold and slime, and she would have gone with him.

He’d chosen a death sentence over hurting her.

She’d never felt worse in her life, especially about the conclusions she’d jumped to earlier. She accused him of breaking Celeste when he was the one who’d been broken. Eddie had beaten the hell out of a nineteen-year-old kid for refusing to hurt someone—and Jonah thought he was the monster.

It forced her to wonder what other lessons Eddie Verona had crammed down his throat over the years. And whether Jonah ever had a choice about what he did.

“Welcome to paradise.” Jonah smirked as he closed the door behind them and locked the deadbolt. “Take whichever bed you want, as long as it’s not the one next to the door.”

Still shivering, she walked to the furthest bed and tossed her bag on it.

“That was mostly a joke.”

“I know.” She made herself turn around and face him. “Jonah, I…don’t know what to say, except that I’m sorry.”

He frowned. “Why?”

“For getting you into this,” she said. “He’s going to kill you because of me.”

“He’ll try.” A threatening look crossed his face. “And don’t you apologize,” he said. “None of this is your fault. It’s my decision.”

“Is it?”

“Yes.” His clear gaze met hers. “I had a problem, and someone I know told me to look at it from a different angle,” he said. “So this is it.”

She managed to smile. “Some angle.”

“Yeah. And it’s still better than the original choice.” The lines of his body relaxed a little, and he said, “Are you going to be okay now?”

“I think so,” she said. “I’m not dead, so that’s a bonus.”

“Good. Let’s work on how we’re going to keep it that way.”

Fresh chills went through her, but she nodded and sat on the bed next to her bag. “Where do we start?”

“With Eddie’s partner,” he said.

“He has a partner?”

Jonah nodded. “One who wants to bring him down just as bad as I do. I think he’s got something on Eddie,” he said. “But he’s not easy to contact. I talked to him once, and all he’d say was that he had to be careful this time.”

She gave a slight frown. “So he’s tried doing this before.”

“Yes.” Jonah paced a few steps. “What I don’t get is how he could’ve failed, and lived to try again. Unless…he was working with someone else.” He stopped suddenly, shook his head. “Whoever it was must’ve been desperate, or crazy,” he said. “I can’t see anyone actually wanting to work with Patrick.”

The name jolted her. “Patrick?” she said. “Patrick Stiles?”

“You know him?” Jonah said. “How…”

“It was Celeste.” More pieces of the puzzle fell into place.
