If I had felt like a prisoner while I was being “protected” in the library at the Hennessey compound, it was nothing compared to how I felt once I returned to my family’s home in Virginia. I wasn’t sure what I had expected, but it wasn’t this. Nothing about what was going on could have been considered normal, even in the screwed up world I had thought of as mine before all of this began.

There was security. A lot of security. Not that there usually wasn’t some sort of bodyguard around—Cade had been around for a long time, after all—but this was something different. It was almost as though they were expecting me to run or to do something that was going to endanger my father, not that I really knew who they were. I had always assumed it was the Secret Service, but this wasn’t like it had been before. I knew it had to be because of Brandon’s payoff to the medical examiner’s office. Even if the official cause of Marian’s death had been ruled a suicide, it was only the press and the public who would have believed it. Anyone who had seen that scene knew that no one could inflict those kinds of injuries on themselves.

I guess I didn’t really want to believe it—that there was a killer on the loose. It wasn’t like I was going to try to entangle myself in that particular mess. I just wanted to stay alive. I wanted to find my way to the other side of the rabbit hole I found myself in and find something closer to normal than this. And if I could find normal, I knew this would all be worth it in the end.

The door swung open before Brandon and I were even at the top of the steps. I only heard her voice; I couldn’t see any part of her body from behind the door. “Did anyone see her?”

My head was covered in something that could only be described as a black shroud. It wasn’t attractive, but I knew what it was for—to keep anyone from photographing me.

I heard Brandon make a noise that sounded something like a low growl as he ushered me through the door. “No. Who could see through that?” He pushed the door closed with his foot and pulled the scarf-like thing from my head. “We didn’t even see any press until we got here.”

“Thank God.” Krystal walked toward me, eyeing me up and down. “You haven’t made any statements, right?”

“No.” I felt my forehead furrow. “When would I have been able to do that?” It was ridiculous to think I would have had even a second away from Brandon or any of the other guards to talk to a reporter. I hadn’t even been allowed to go to the restroom alone.

“We have to get on top of this story, Jenna. This boy—the kid from Waterville. He’s ruining everything.” She let out an exasperated sigh. “We need to control the message.
