CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Aoife sat back in the dark, dusty garage and tried to wrap her head around everything she’d learned—and what she was going to do next.

It was always dark in here. Smelled like damp. But it was quiet. Aoife needed silence right now. She needed it to figure out how the hell she was going to go from here. What choice did she have? She was locked up. Locked up because Yuri still didn’t totally trust her, apparently. Dick.

But then, she couldn’t hold it against him.

Not if what he’d told her was true.

And why wouldn’t it be true? What reason had he given her not to believe in it?

She sat there in the darkness and kept on thinking of Yuri’s two boys, Ben and Ross. Losing their mother, Caroline. Searching desperately for some kind of home with their father, some kind of safe place.

Only to run into Harvey at the gates.

Harvey shooting them in a bitter rage.

And then hunting down and trying to wipe out Yuri’s people completely.

She shook her head. She still couldn’t accept it. Harvey seemed so friendly. He seemed so caring. Intense and passionate about his project, sure.

But he was a good man. A good man who trusted her.

You’re blinkered, and you always have been…

She remembered those words, and they stung. Was it true? Had she been so dead set on believing Sanctuary was perfect and Harvey was the ideal leader that she’d actually failed to see the cracks in the flags right before her eyes?

She didn’t know. She didn’t know a lot anymore.

But she knew one thing.

She’d seen Yuri killing her people. Good people. He’d captured Kayleigh, and Aoife had no idea where she was. So regardless of what he said, regardless of what had happened to him and his family, he was no angel.

But then, was she? After all, she’d done some pretty horrible things over the years in acts of revenge.

She was far from perfect herself. And she knew how blinkered the search for justice could make a person.

She closed her pulsating, burning eyes. She just wanted to wake up back at Sanctuary. Wake up days ago, before all this mess. Wake up in a time when things were good. When things were perfect. When she didn’t have a thing to worry about. When nobody had a thing to worry about.

And then, out of nowhere, in her mind’s eye, she saw Max.

He was looking at her like he didn’t recognise her. Shaking his head.

“What’s your problem, old man?” she said.

But he didn’t say anything to her. Just looked at her, kept on shaking his head. Like he was judging her.

“What would you have done differently?” she asked. “If you found somewhere perfect… what would you have done differently?”

He looked away, then. Faded from view.

She wanted to scream out. Wanted to cry at him to come back. Because she didn’t want to be on her own right now. She needed him right now. Needed his advice. Needed his wisdom.

But he was gone. He was long gone.
