Chapter Seventeen

Emma, what the fuck is going on? Will shouted toward her. He was about to burst into the room, whether Emma wanted him to or not.

The door to the Magnolia Room opened and Alex exited, then walked toward the ballroom.

I know where Jake is.

Will paused. Alex knows? That’s why he wanted to talk to you?

No. He told me Jake and Raphael destroyed part of Jackson, Mississippi this afternoon.

Will held his breath. Another city? So soon? Marcus had to be right about their motives, and the timing of the attacks suggested urgency. Emma, by the time we get there, he’ll be gone.

I know. Raphael’s targeting cities I lived in with Jake while I was on the run. In order.

You’re saying that you know where they’re going next?

Shreveport. We need to go now.

What to do with this information? Alex was so close that Will couldn’t back off now. Especially if Alex really trusted Emma. Will might not have this opportunity again until the end, and they couldn’t afford to leave Alex alive that long. Getting to Shreveport would take eight to ten hours. Raphael probably wouldn’t stage another attack until tomorrow. They had time. No. Not yet.

He felt her confusion, then her fury. No?

We need to finish what we started.

Let’s be clear, Will. You and I have two very different objectives at the moment. You’ve known mine since the day we met. I came here to find out where Jake is and now I know. Alex wants to help and I want to let him. Three of us stand a better chance of saving Jake than two.

Will leaned against a wall and closed his eyes. Shit, Marcus had been right.

Her anger poured through their connection, prickling at his nerves. What the hell was he going to do? There was no way he would agree to work with Alex. Will came here to kill him and he wouldn’t leave until he’d accomplished that task. But she’d never agree to any of it, so he’d have to keep her in the dark. You said Alex wants to help you get Jake?

Her irritation faded. Yes.

Did he say what he wants to do?

He says as soon as he finishes his fundraiser, he plans to go to Shreveport.

And he wants to take you with him.

Yes. He thinks I left you.

Then stay with him for now. Emma was going to be furious once she realized what he was planning. He hoped he could make her see this was the rational course of action. Marcus was right. Emma was thinking with her heart when they needed to be using their heads.

You want me to go with Alex to Shreveport?

Hell, no, he didn’t want that. He’d never let it get that far, but he couldn’t tell her that now. I need to figure this out. For now, unless you’re in danger, stay with Alex.

How easy it was to slip into the callous, heartless man he’d been years ago, but he didn’t have time to think about the ramifications now. Jake had once told him that good and bad were just words.
