Chapter Fifteen

The light streamed into the room, forcing me to cover my eyes.

“You can’t sleep all day,” Sammy said. “And we need to talk.”

At first, I thought it had been a dream, but the ache in my ass reminded me of the reality of what had happened. I noted that he’d wiped me down while I’d slept. I didn’t know why that made me feel so…cherished, but it did.

I started to sit up until Sammy put a hand on my chest. “Stay there. I want you to be comfortable.” His eyes twinkled in the bright light. I’d never noticed twinkling eyes before, but with Sammy it felt right.

“Are you feeling better? Ready to eat something?”

The enormity of his question shook me to my core.

“I don’t know if I can do this anymore.” I whispered the words as if saying them out loud would give them weight that I wasn’t ready for.

“Tell me why.” He stroked my arm and I found it comforting.

I had no idea where to start. “I was a sniper in the military. I’m trained to kill, but what I do now is different. When I shot a target from a few hundred yards, it wasn’t personal for me. I had a detachment I was able to maintain. What I do now is very personal. I know the people. I know their victims. Sometimes I’m able to take the shot from a distance, but the way I do it now makes me feel like I’m giving the victim the final word and letting the person know why they’re about to die.”

“Is that what you did with Arianna?”

I nodded.

“And you did it because of me?”

“Mostly,” I mumbled. “She hurt a lot of people. You, the kid she shot, and a lot of others we may never find out about.”

“And what happened last night?”

My heart began to race at the thought of DeMarco, his brains spattered across my clothes and body, and still I continued to shoot.

“They were just little girls. They were naked and holding one another, taking comfort where they could. H-h-he kept corpses in the room with them. He said they didn’t always follow the rules. I was too late to save them.”

Tears stung my eyes and rolled hot down my cheeks. Sammy drew me into his arms and held me, rubbing small circles on my back. It reminded me of me doing the same to him when we had been on our way to Arizona. The reversal of our roles should have sent me running from the man, but my body knew it needed him. I allowed myself to soak up his warmth, which helped to chase away the chill of the memories.

“I thought about my sister. I haven’t seen her in a long time now, but I could see her face and yours everywhere I looked, and that fucker had to pay for what he did to them.”

I began hiccupping, trying to draw a breath. Sammy’s voice finally cut through me.

“Enough.” He stood and cupped my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes.
