Chapter Twelve

Abandoned

I’d settled onto the couch while Logan created a list of addresses. My bare feet were tucked underneath me as I paged through the other documents when he finally sat his cell phone on the narrow coffee table.

“There are seven locations we could check, but these are our best shot.” He pointed at three blocks of text on a note pad, his writing clean and sharp, not at all like Morgan’s. “Does anything stand out to you?” he asked.

I shook my head. “I’ve only been through Stanton. The Jamison plant, didn’t that burn last year in some kind of gas leak accident?”

“Explosion,” he said, his level tone making me wonder if there was more I didn’t know, something the news hadn’t reported. “But there were a few buildings left standing.”

“Okay.” I sat up. “Let me just grab my shoes.”

He raised a brow at me. “You don’t think this should wait until morning?”

I glanced at the window, but could see nothing except our own reflection against the dark of night. “Right. I guess daylight’s probably better.” I bit my lip, remembering Emily and Aern’s warnings about getting rest. I didn’t think I could sleep at all, but they were right. Plus, I didn’t exactly want to snoop around abandoned warehouses at night with Morgan’s men gunning for me.

“Bri,” Logan said from beside me, and I turned, lip still tucked beneath my tooth.

His gaze lingered on my face and I asked, “What?”

He smiled, more to himself than for me I thought, and said, “Can I help you look for something?”

My attention fell to the documents on the table. “I suppose,” I replied, surprised at the disappointment in my voice, “we’re looking for anything else my mother’s hidden.”

Logan squeezed my arm. “It was hidden from the others, Brianna. Not you.”

The gesture was so casual it sent a momentary shock through me. I swallowed hard. I knew his words were true—she’d meant to keep us safe, Emily and I—but it still stung. We’d been lied to for so long.

“It’s no different,” I said, not believing I was admitting it out loud, “than what I’ve done to Emily.”

Logan stared at me for a long moment. “For the right reasons,” he said before finally picking up a stack of papers to search for other clues. “It will all turn out, Brianna. You’ll see.”

I huffed out a laugh. They all had faith in me. I was their savior, their prophesied hero come to light. And I was digging through paperwork for a sign. Me, the Dragon Slayer.
