Maddie held herself together until she was back inside her cabin. She crawled onto the bed and pressed her back against the wall. Penelope was still snoring softly. Maddie covered her ears with her hands, pulled up her knees, and propped her elbows on them. She thought about facing the rest of her life in prison.

There was no way she could free Terrance now. As soon as she was arrested, the police could use Penelope’s testimony to convict her and Terrance.

If Terrance still hadn’t confessed, then Penelope was the only one except for Abbott who could accuse them. Anita would never talk.

She stared at the sleeping child. If the girl disappeared along with her, then there would be no way to prove anything. There was only Tom Abbott’s word. Terrance would serve time for resisting arrest, shooting a policeman, and maybe even for killing Lawrence. But he might never confess to the kidnapping.

“Was it worth it, Maddie?”

Truth be told, her brothers had never done anything of worth, never owned anything they came by honestly, never thought of anyone but themselves. She was just as bad as they were.

As the steamboat continued on toward New Orleans, Maddie sat shrouded in darkness trying to see into the future. She thought about Terrance and Penelope. Mostly she thought about Tom Abbott, a man she didn’t really know at all.
