After Monica, Felicity, and Fetch left, Meg retrieved her weapon from Reaper then retreated to the living room and turned on the TV. She felt unsettled, itchy, and needed a distraction, but nothing on the screen held her attention.

Frustrated, she turned off the TV and headed back to her bedroom to gather her laundry. Maybe a little housework would help. She needed to be active. How she wished she could go for a run but going anywhere out of doors would be unwise. She might be spotted. Already, all the blinds and curtains in the house were closed to prevent anyone seeing inside. She was as much of a prisoner as Tobin had been, albeit with comfortable surroundings and a better class of company.

For the thousandth time, she wondered what had happened the night of the fire. She had no doubts he’d started it. Accelerant had been on his hands and clothing, but she was pretty sure he hadn’t been alone by the way he’d kept looking over his shoulder. Had those who’d been there to see the job done decided he needed to die? Had they shown their hands and spooked him into fleeing?

Made sense. If his body had been found inside the burned warehouse, no one would have questioned the narrative of Tobin torching the place for no other purpose than to watch it burn, but then tragically being unable to escape.

A warehouse empty of anything, except for charred old file cabinets, wouldn’t have raised an eyebrow.

Tobin’s continued nervousness after his arrest had to have been concerning the leadership. What might he blurt to authorities? The guards had likely suggested he should run, offered him the opportunity, and then hunted him afterward, making sure to wrap up a loose end that could have unraveled and led to the congressman and the militia group.

“You’re thinking too hard,” Wolf said behind her.

Meg turned to find him leaning against the doorframe as she stood with her dirty clothes clutched against her chest.

“I was thinking about Tobin.”

His gaze fell away. “Yeah, I keep thinking about him, too. He was so scared his whole body shook.”

“It’s not right what they did—getting him to fire up the warehouse, and then turning on him.”

He nodded. “Makes sense. They’d want his body there, so they could pin it entirely on him.”

“You came to that conclusion, too?”

“Like I said, makes sense. Poor idiot thought his militia buddies were his friends. They took advantage of the fact he wasn’t that bright.”

She patted her bundle. “I’m doing laundry. Want to throw yours in with mine?”

He smiled. “Sure.” He stepped past her into the bathroom.

Meg looked away from the bed as she headed down the stairs. Sure, she needed a distraction, but she did have a little pride left. She wanted to keep what they had private from now on. Although last night had been exactly what she’d needed.
