I sit in the truck, in the corner of the library parking lot for five more minutes before I crank the engine. It will only take me 12 minutes to get to the location. While I drive, I let the plan run through my mind a few more times. It’s simple, get Reed, take him to the cabin and wait there until all the information is released and we are safe. What could go wrong?

A lot of things could go wrong! That is the last thing that goes through my mind when I turn into the parking lot of the run-down warehouse the GPS on my phone leads me to. My hands are sweating profusely and my heart rate must be through the roof. I am taking quick ragged breaths and I have to force myself to calm down before I hyperventilate.

Just when I drive up to the entrance, the door opens and I stop breathing all together. Then I see Reed walking out and my lungs fill with needed air. Relief overcomes me. Now that he is wearing clothes again, he almost looks as if nothing has happened. He takes long and fast strides toward me and before I know it the passenger door swings open and he climbs into the truck.

I want to throw myself at him, hug and kiss him but I know we are not safe yet. Someone could still shoot at us so I just take his hand to cool down the need to somehow touch him. He wraps his fingers around mine, strong and gentle at the same time.

“How did you do it?” His voice is rough and coarse like he needs some water.

“I’ll tell you everything, but first let’s get out of here.”

I slowly start driving away from the building. My eyes rapidly scanning our surroundings for any danger. I pick up speed, needing to put more space in between us and the building. I take a few unnecessary turns and keep looking in the rearview mirror to make sure no one is following us.

After a few minutes I am sure we are safe. The next hour feels like a string of déjà vu’s. Driving up to the mountain. Walking the trail in the darkness. Getting to the cabin and patching up Reed.

I gave him an overview about what I did to get him out while we were walking up the hill, which seemed to quench his thirst for questions until now.

“You told me that you figured out who the Magnolia family is but you didn’t say how you did that and who they are.” Reed asks, while I am finishing up working on his stomach. He is sitting on the bed, propped up on the headboard and I am sitting on the edge of the bed with my legs hanging off.

“By accident really,” I start explaining, “when I recovered the files from Whiteside’s computer, two of them popped up together. They were from a folder of potential suspects, but they had been deleted on different days so they probably weren’t next to each other before.
