WE DROVE IN SILENCE, ROMAN behind the wheel, Priyanka in the front passenger seat.
Me, once again, in the back.
I leaned my head against the glass, trying to will myself to sleep.
Clancyâs voice had wormed deep into my thoughts, burrowing through every plan I tried to make about what we should do next. In the end, I gave up trying and let the others choose. I didnât trust myself to make any kind of decision.
It wasnât just that she had gone to see Clancy, knowing the risks, knowing who he was and what he had done. It was that she had chosen to confide in him. Anyone could lie about another personâs exact words, but he had seen something that Ruby never let slip. When Iâd first met her, she hadnât even wanted to be touched, she was so locked inside her own fear. And while sheâd learned control and had become stronger, those darker storms moving beneath her skin hadnât left, theyâd only morphed.
Trapped by peopleâs expectations and needs, alone in what sheâd seen and what she could do. Lonely.
I was here, I thought. I was here the whole time.
I couldnât keep from wondering if I had done this somehow. By working with the government, by not going to live with them at Havenâdid that lock the door on our friendship? Iâd only been trying to help her live a better life. I wanted that for all Psi. She could have used our contact procedure to get in touch with me. I would have come to her. Instead, I waited for a call that never came.
I should have made the call.
Still, there was a small part of me that clung to the belief that Ruby wouldnât just walk away. From Liam. From the kids at Haven. From her friends. From her family. From the world. The more I tried to picture it, the harder it became. The only times Ruby had willingly distanced herself, it had been to protect us.
But things were different now, and all of us were, too. So much could have happened between when Iâd last seen her and the time sheâd vanished. She could have been swallowed by her old, familiar darkness and left us for good.
I leaned between the seats and turned on the radio, just to see what terrifying crime Iâd been accused of that day.
When the familiar voice came over the speakers, I thought my exhausted mind had spun it out of thin air.
ââout there, if youâre listening, turn yourself in. Please, Suzume. Turn yourself in.â
âWhoâs this chump?â Priyanka asked as Roman pulled into an empty rest station parking lot. He turned the engine off, but none of us moved.
âYouâre a delegate in the Virginia state House, are you not?â
I closed my eyes. Of course. Of course heâd gone on Truth Talk Radio.
âI am. Iâve had thoughts about resigning, but staying and fighting for the American way is the only thing I can think to do to counteract the evil Suzume has injected into our fragile world.
