Chapter Eighteen

Bridger

“What the fuck are you doing here, Clemonte?”

After he asks me that, he holds the door, his face unmasked but also a little pissed. He’s good at hiding emotions now. That’s what happens when you have to die for the cause.

Or in his case, not entirely die.

Close enough.

Cassidy stands in front of me, his silvery blond hair in a bun on his head and his face stronger and more filled out. I saw him for merely minutes when he came to Arcadia, and seeing Colt wasn’t what he planned to do. His mission was to pick up the files Yang had hidden. Colt had cut herself while he was in the cabin, going for the files, and he saw her from the cameras planted inside their bunker.

It wasn’t basic either. It was his project when he and Colt found an underground type cave. He harvested it and made it into a full room where she could live in if all hell broke loose. Unfortunately, he didn’t realize that time would come so soon; he didn’t get to warn her, teach her, or prepare her for a life without him.

But he knew she’d somehow not fight.

Whether that be her mind being tampered with like when we were kids or something far worse, a mental collapse.

Neither of us expected the effect of his death to bring her to the point of doing something stupid. I haven’t inspected her wrists, but I’m sure they’re healing up well. She covers her scars and memories with ink, blackening them with lies, it’s almost painful to watch.

“We had a plan,” he grumbles, and grumpy Cass never existed before spring break of last year. “So, I’ll reiterate. What the fuck are you doing here?”

I let out a loud breath, only coming here for advice.

“I don’t know what to do.”

He waves his hand. “Might as well come in while you’re here. Don’t need any random-ass people knowing I’m not dead.”

His voice has deepened over the last few months, becoming huskier and more gravelly. I’m not sure if that has to do with its lack of use or what, but it’s different.

“Colt is here,” I let out as soon as I sit. His eyes bug out wildly.

“And you let me leave the door open that long, are you insane?”

“She’s inside with Lux, Ten, and Jordan.” His agitation grows. Since going to the Edgington Estate and being undercover, I couldn’t communicate with him and he knew that. But it seems like the time hasn’t done him any good. Being out here, only visiting with his father, it isn’t the best for anyone’s mental health.

“What the fuck happened at the Estate?” His expression is one of curiosity and fear. He’s not going to like this little catch up.

“First of all, don’t be mad at me.”

Nice Cass disappears immediately. “What did you do?”

“Not exactly me,” I argue. Trust issues stem from experience, but Cass could love you to death and still not trust you. Even if experience showed you never lied, he would definitely doubt you.
