Chapter Thirty-one: Lorelei

Meeting Raff in the woods seemed a good idea in the bright light of day. Now, in the damp drizzly darkness, I’m not so sure. He’s Chano’s third, so I get that he doesn’t want to be seen talking to me when I’m persona non grata…but stalking around in the trees, chasing shadows is overkill.

A figure moves up ahead and I freeze, squinting through the branches. Is that him? I pick up my pace, treading lightly through the undergrowth. It’s so driech I’m only a few feet away before I’m sure.

“Raff,” I say quietly.

Raff makes an undignified squawk and spins toward me. A blush creeps up his neck, and he fakes a cough. I choke down my laugh.

“This isn’t a good idea,” he mutters, his gaze darting around. As if any other nutter is going to be crawling around the bushes in winter.

“But you’re here.” I touch his arm. “Thanks for coming. I—I can’t give up on Chano.”

Raff scuffs the ground with his toe, kicking up dead leaves. “I won’t talk to him for you. More than my life’s worth.”

I picture how that might go down and purse my lips. Raff’s scrawny frame wouldn’t last two minutes in a fight with Chano. “I’m not asking you to.”

He cocks his head to the side.

“Look, I have to prove myself. I’m working on something important to his family. To his mami.”

He leans in, his interest piqued.

Once I have Raff convinced, the rest is easier.

I might be misleading the rebellion…but the soldiers I trained with are the only contacts I have with even remotely promising leads. If they think that by accepting their help, I’m throwing my hat in the ring to lead the rebellion, then let them think that. I’m not actually saying it, just implying it.

I need Chano in my life.

I really don’t care how I manage it.
