She'd gone to them, to Owen and Annika, and Nick had been there, too. Something was going down with Nick and Owen. Sin had interrupted an important conversation, but she didn't have time to stay and find out what it was.

Ann Evalyn was no longer a source of information. It was only so long before she’d be found anyway. Maybe even already. She'd considered more than once that Ann Evalyn’s demise triggered the bullet hole. There had been enough time that she could have been found and the order to say "hello" via gunfire could have been enacted. But Sin didn't think that was it.

She wasn't a big believer in coincidence, but shit was going down. Owen was scared. Annika wasn't but should be. And Nick was in up to his neck in something she didn't know about. So she interrupted and asked what they had.

Owen showed her the map, Annika chiming in about likelihoods and probabilities. Nick put in his two cents and she compiled a stack of post-it notes with addresses and names and scribbled notes on them. She would destroy them as she used them, rather than leave a manual for anyone to trace her steps. But there wasn't time to memorize them here.

Sin reached for his fingers, prepared to peel them back and bend them so that he would literally jump away from her to avoid the pain before she remembered whose hand was on her. And before he remembered it was a bad idea to grab her. Neither of them mentioned it.

"But we did get a lot of information. It was a female."

That matched the fuzzy memory she had of the night. For a moment it hit her that so much time had passed. She wondered if Lee could still be holding on. How would he have lasted? But she pushed the thought aside so that she didn't give up. Not yet anyway. She couldn't.

In the end, she took a note from Owen, it was just a list, and while she wanted to tuck it in her pocket for later, the sticky part clung to her fingers. And when the silence of everyone wondering what everyone else was up to began to permeate her thoughts, she pulled up the note and looked. Slavic—recent ancestry. Curly, dark hair. Neg. BRCA. Neg Genghis relative.

What the hell good was that? Was she supposed to go around asking people if they were related to one of
