While Holden gathered what he needed, Tyler gestured for Allie to step out onto the fire escape. He led her down to the ground because he didn’t want the others hearing. He sure as hell wasn’t going to lead his brother and his closest friends into a trap if that’s what it was. He needed information and as this was new, he had to assume she was holding back even more.

He shifted his weight from one foot to the next, put a hand on his hip and with the other hand jabbed a finger at the ground. “You want to explain to me what is going on here?”

“Nothing.”

“Bullshit! Then why didn’t you tell me? I mean because I think that would have been key to know because I just went to all the trouble of telling my brother.” She dipped her head. A look of shame, perhaps guilt. Tyler continued, “Is everyone in Camp Olney a raider?”

“No.”

He gave her a skeptical look.

“No. Not everyone.”

He paused for a moment running a hand through his hair. “Is this another one of Jude’s games?”

She stared back at him and shook her head. “No. Hell no.”

“Then maybe you can help me to understand this. You told me your sister was taken by them, but yet you yourself are one of them? Which is it?”

“Both are true.” She sighed and dropped her head. “The day she was taken, I was with her. That’s how I know what they have down there. She was told to remain while the rest of us returned.”

“So you lied to me.”

“I told you the truth, I just left out some of the details.”

Tyler scoffed. “I’d say you did.” He shook his head. “Why should I believe a single word that has come out of your mouth? Are the women really being used as slaves? Were you really living in Texas or was that made up too?”

When she didn’t answer he knew they were lies.

He threw his hands up. “God. Next you’ll tell me your name is not even Allie.”

“It is.”

He glared at her, getting really close. One part of him wanted to kiss her, the other wanted to just leave her behind. After the death of Ella, he couldn’t allow his brother to suffer any more grief. It could send him over the edge. He studied her eyes waiting for her to look away but she didn’t.

“You want my help then you better start telling me the truth. What’s the deal with the branding? And who is this Morning Star? Is it Jude?”

“I don’t know who it is. We’ve never seen the person’s face. Thomas, the guy you saw with the blind eye, he’s the only one that speaks with Morning Star. And he’s not always at the camp. There have only been a few times Morning Star has visited the camp and only Thomas and his inner circle speak with this person inside a tent. All I know is he gets new information on places that can be raided and the group does the job.
