Words pushed their way through my head as I lay there, but I could barely make sense of them.

“How did you guys know he was at the office?”

“We were following him,” a man’s voice answered. “Have been for a few days now.” I gave up trying and slipped back into the comfort of the darkness.

Cold water hit me, and my mouth opened wide as I gasped desperately for air. My mind scrambled to understand what was happening. I was shot from the hell I had been in to the hell I now found myself in. It looked like a basement of a bar. Boxes of whiskey lined the walls, and as my vision cleared, my stomach dropped when I saw the Devil himself in front of me. I swallowed hard and blinked at Trigger’s stare. I looked around and realized the other members of the Devil’s Reach, as well as Grim and Jesse, all stood around me. Then I spotted Knox, who looked totally wrung out and pissed.

Shit.

Then it hit me. “I didn’t kill her,” I stammered through my fear. “One minute she was alive, and the next…” Tears came then, but I didn’t care. “I really cared for her. I’d never hurt her.”

“Seems real convenient that you just so happened to be there the moment she got killed,” Knox hissed from where he leaned against a pillar.

“It looks bad,” I agreed. “It really does, I know. It’s just that given everything that’s been happening lately, I needed to get away from the hotel. Cameron and I, we’re butting heads, and I…” I stopped and tried to pull myself together. “I loved her, Knox, just like you did.”

“If you loved her so much, why’d you run?” He raised a brow in that way you know shit isn’t going to end well. Grim did the same thing.

“It was a Potens kill.” I watched their faces, but nothing showed. “Meaning a hired hit.” I waited, and still nothing. “Meaning if they knew I was there, I’d be dead, too. I couldn’t risk it.”

Grim, who had been silent until then suddenly stepped up and grabbed a fistful of my hair and stared down at me. “Arms up,” he ordered, and I obeyed. I knew what he wanted to see. The tattoo. He pulled out his switchblade and cut a slit down the sleeves of my dress shirt. Then he used the point of his knife to pull apart the fabric to check. I had one tattoo that was a quote from Catch-22. It read, Anything worth dying for…is certainly worth living for. Grim shook his head at Trigger.

“I had the chance to join them,” I confessed. “My cellmate, Kurt,” I glanced at Grim, “would have loved nothing more than to recruit me to the Potens. That was his job there, to bring people in. But I had zero desire to join any kind of group.” I stopped myself there; I didn’t need to run the risk of aggravating Trigger. “Kurt saw potential in me anyway and helped me get out of jail early.
