Chapter Twenty

What if Cleo is hurt…or worse?

As Jordan and Lukas flew as fast as they could towards their home, this was the one though that kept repeating in Jordan’s mind. Ahead of them the dark cloud moved like a storm towards everything they loved. Zulu, one of Lukas’ swallow friends, was flying on the other side of Lukas, screeching out a desperate message to any other feathered friends to pass on, to try and warn Tobias and the community that Hell was coming. Would the message get to them in time?

I didn’t get to say sorry to Cleo.

Jordan cursed himself for hesitating that morning at her door. He should have knocked. He should have told her that she wasn’t a nuisance, okay maybe an adorable nuisance with her constant teasing and inappropriate questions, but it was a nuisance he had come to need in his life. He should have told her that he had been an idiot to even say anything to Alyx. I should have said sorry. It was just a word, just a simple tiny word. Why had he been so scared to talk to Cleo that morning?

Now she might never know. She might die without knowing he was sorry. She might die hating him. This thought he couldn’t bare.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when Lukas spoke. “Someone has betrayed us.” Lukas’ lips were white as he pressed them together. “Otherwise how would Michael know where the castle was?”

“But who? Everyone was cleared.”

After the last culling, the FreeThinker communities had implemented a policy to investigate their newest community additions before accepting them. The locations of the other communities were kept secret, even among community members. Only a select few including elected Chiefs knew them and even then, not a single FreeThinker knew them all. Potential members had to be vouched for or verified before they were granted a residence. Informants were contacted to verify the story of any potential FreeThinker to avoid spies from being able to infiltrate their community and betray them as happened at the last Rogue culling. Tobias had been sure that there were no traitors at their community. He had been sure.

But he had been wrong. He had been fooled. They all had been.

“The stories of past Society members had been checked out,” Jordan continued, “There were no inconsistencies.”

“What if she was never part of the Society?”

Jordan’s blood ran cold. ”What are you talking about?”

“Cleo.”

Jordan’s head spun as his insides reacted violently against this. “No.”

“Think about it,” Lukas continued. “She’s new to our community.”

“There are others who are new to our community.”

“She worked in Purgatory for Lady Bluesette for−”

“Her past career choice does not make her a spy.”

“But it gave Michael potential access to her.”

“We don’t even know if Michael ever went to Purgatory.”

“Her cover was thin to begin with. Do you really buy her excuse for leaving Purgatory and wanting to reside with us? She just happened to have a change of heart and wanted to leave her old life behind? After decades working as a whore in Purgatory, she just decides to come good?”

“Shut up.
