Chapter 12

Cady

Perry had dropped Ted like he was a fly hovering around his food. A spark of crazy lit up the dark part of his gaze and Cady suppressed a shiver that he wanted her.

Her.

What had she done to deserve his special attentions? She refused to shift her gaze from his face, to take in the fear that spread throughout the inhabitants of the camp. No matter what, he couldn’t think he’d gotten to her. That would be giving him more power than he already head. That wasn’t an option. Not if she was to gain any traction with anyone else.

She didn’t need him to fear her. No one did. But the other women needed to know freedom was possible, that standing up to him, to all of them, was possible and probable. And dare she hope – preferable?

“Do you think you want to go collect your daughter for me? Or wait until I get her?” Perry leaned close and wagged his finger toward Cady. “My way probably isn’t what you want, in reality.” A darkly sinister twist to his lips sent a chill down Cady’s back, but she tamped it down, didn’t show it.

She shrugged, irritation arching an eyebrow as she folded her arms and thrust her hip to the side. “I don’t care what you do. She’s not with me.” She waved her hand. “As you can see.” She ignored the presence of the dead body feet from where she stood. Looking at his sightless eyes would probably push her over the edge of nausea and she’d lose it, along with any credibility she might have gained.

Perry nodded, his smirk bone chilling. “I know. She’s at the Parks’ place. No big deal. I have my best guys on it. They’ll drag her out and kill anyone else.”

Cady refused to let him affect her. Dusty was out there, rallying people to come get her. She just knew it. Bailey was safer with Elba and that baby than she would be anywhere else. Cady had to believe that wholeheartedly or she’d lose her composure.

She had to control her faith in something she couldn’t control. The lack of control was something she’d have to adapt to, something she’d have to accept. At least for the interim. At least until she could get more power back.

For the moment, all she had control over were her own emotions, her own reactions. For the time being, that would have to be enough.

“Do what you need to, Perry.” She rolled her eyes and folded her arms. “I’m still waiting for someone to offer me a drink.” She ignored the throbbing pain in her cheek from the random hits she’d been delivered as she’d been led to the camp.

Evergreen trees surrounded the clearing with a spiky intention as if they too saw the happenings and weren’t impressed. Would they burn as easily with rain so close? Would a fire burn past the creek and get the Parks’ place? Cady wouldn’t be able to escape the flames, but it was a possibility.
