Seth stopped on the rise and knelt down to survey the small enemy camp below. During the walk here, he still hadn’t come to terms with the horrible chore that Angela had given him. Becky had helped by telling him the rest of Angela’s plan that she knew.

“Angela will need you there, Seth,” Becky stated. “If you’re not, she’ll die. She has everything pinned on you.”

As he considered all the things that could wrong, Seth didn’t think this was a mental game to get him agree. Becky had sworn that she would be protected, that Angela was the one in danger.

“You ready?”

Seth glanced over to see Becky wearing an outfit that brought his male side to alertness and a huge scowl to his face.

Before he could argue, Becky reminded him, “They’re already looking for me. I’m the dancing girl. It’s sure to get you in.”

Seth wasn’t worried about blending with the men getting set to attack Safe Haven. All he had to do there was let the asshole out. Becky’s safety terrified him.

“I’ll be fine,” she lied, hoping he couldn’t hear the tremor in her tones. She actually had no idea if Angela had her covered or not. Adrian hadn’t before. She was scared.

Seth felt her waver and gently put his arms around her. “We could–”

“Don’t.”

Seth met her eyes. “Why do you have to do this? Tell me or I can’t help her.”

“It will give me my life back,” Becky state slowly, realizing she had to trust someone. “I have to do it. I want to.”

“For the power she’s offered,” Seth argued quietly. He understood the allure.

“For my soul.” Becky sent him the image of her flirting with Rick, accepting the vial of drugs to hurt Neil. She ran through the mistakes she’d made, tears pricking her lids. “I have to atone,” she forced out through lurking sobs. “Then his voice in my brain will go away.”

Seth did the only thing he knew to. He held her close and cursed Adrian. Over the last month, he’d come to understand how many of their lives Adrian had put in danger during their time with the slavers.

Becky didn’t let many of her tears fall. As she grew stronger, the need for justice and retribution had been replaced with the longing for her mental control back. She didn’t like being unstable. Her addition to Angela’s plan had been to suggest using a chain reaction and she was extremely happy with being proven right. She was also extremely worried about Seth. He had a dangerous job, more so than she had. Seth could be hit in the crossfire even if his role wasn’t discovered. The line they were walking was too thin for comfort.

“Uh, they’re about to leave,” a voice above them said pointedly. “If you’re going in, now is the time.”

They looked up to see no one there.

“Who is that?”

Crista had to stick a hand from her blind and wave before they found her location.

“Oh, too good,” Becky praised. The hammock was cleverly hidden by blending with the tree trunk.
