CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Leira listened to as much of Rhazdon’s stories as she could stand, long into the night. She paced the room, taking breaks to run around the estate, digesting as much as she could, only to come back and listen to more. Rhazdon laid out her entire sordid life, trying to leave out some details but Leira pressed her for every corner.

On one of the runs she circled the estate again and again as Turner stood at the window, watching her under the moonlight. They were getting to Rhazdon’s years as the false prophet and Correk’s name came up. Leira bolted for a run leaving Rhazdon in mid-sentence. She lapped the house several times, finally stopping on the back lawn by the lake, leaping over a cement gnome, sweat dripping off the tip of her nose. I still want revenge. Some taste of it.

She pulled out her phone to call Hagan and hash it out with him. He might be able to see it as a case, despite everything but she saw the time, four a.m.

“Hello…”

“Correk? Did I wake you?” She had wanted to wait to tell him. But she knew there was never going to be an easy time. This would wound him deeply. That Rhazdon held the key to anything and they would have to take her help. That was the thing churning inside of Leira.

“No…yeah, kind of. I was waiting up, but I must have dozed off. Where are you? Did something happen?”

She heard the concern in his voice followed by a giant yawn and instantly thought of a joke, something to make him laugh, but she bit her lip, hesitating.

“You still there? Hello?”

He should hear it from me. “I’m here at Turner Underwood’s place. He has Rhazdon. She showed up to help.” Her voice cracked in the middle and she pressed her lips together, determined to let Correk talk it out, but instead there was silence.

For once, she broke one of Hagan’s rules and talked first. “Okay, I guess it’s my turn. You still there?” Fuck, caring about someone… She could feel how fast her heart was beating.

Correk let out the breath he was holding, resting his head in his hand. He sat forward on the couch, trying to figure out what to say.

He thought of his days next to the king. Stick to the mission when you don’t know what else to do. “Has she given us anything useful?”

Leira’s eyes were glistening as she looked up at the stars. “All of it. She’s dying and she says she’s trying to make things right before that happens. Something cliche about the error of her ways.”

“You believe her?”

“Not for a minute. But her intel could help us figure out what the hell is going on and how to get ahead of it before there’s some kind of war. I keep picturing
