Chapter Thirteen

Everlie

I wasn’t sure when I’d finally dozed off, but when I woke up, I was still wearing the outfit I’d been wearing the night before, and my eyes were dry and scratchy from crying too much and sleeping in my makeup. Everything from the night before rushed back to me as I sat up in bed. When I’d given up on trying to get answers from any of the FBI agents digging through the house, I’d barricaded myself in my room. Which is where I’d been, hunkered down, stewing in panic and frustration, when Ryker called.

And now, he was on his way back to Vegas. He’d texted his flight details to me and would be landing a little after ten o’clock. I’d considered offering to pick him up, but then decided against it. It was bad enough he was, once again, back in town—and my life—I didn’t need him in my car.

After taking a shower and scrubbing off the fatigue and stress of the day before, I went out to the living room and stopped dead in my tracks. The FBI team had left the room in complete chaos and it took every ounce of will I had inside me to keep from crawling back into bed. I ignored the mess long enough to get a banana and coffee.

It was nearing nine o’clock when I stopped working on straightening everything that had been disturbed by the late night search of the apartment, and sat back, bracing myself against the couch. I ran my hands through my hair, mindlessly smoothing the still damp strands against my head. The entire scene was something from a bad dream. This kind of stuff didn’t happen to people like me. Late night FBI raids, best friend getting arrested, ex-boyfriend—or, whatever he was—coming back, hell bent on saving the day.

What’s happening to my life?

Why are things so far off track?

It all pinpointed back to one night. The night Tori met Bennett.

“Ugh!” I screamed into the empty room, not caring that my neighbors might hear. They were all gossiping about me anyways. An FBI raid wasn’t exactly an event that could be kept quiet.

“Tori, what did you do?” I whispered to myself. I hated to even give a voice to the deepest and darkest question of them all. Ever since I’d known Tori, she’d floated through questionable situations without a care in the world. Tori was the kind of girl who laughed at the idea of danger, even in a city like Vegas that was steeped in sin. She’d always been immune to trouble, and I suppose that’s what gave her the impression that she always would be. As much as I hated to admit it, there was a very good chance that she’d finally gotten tangled up in something that she couldn’t just sweet talk or sleep her way out of. The scary part was thinking of the scrapes she’d already been in, which was nothing to laugh about, and wondering what kind of real trouble she’d gotten into this time.
