Chapter Fifteen

“Tell me everything,” I said, staring across the small room at Levi.

I couldn’t take my eyes off him. In fact, I wanted to wrap myself around him like some kind of love python and never let him go. Being permanently attached might be kind of extreme, given that we both still had to function as camp counselors. And normal human beings. Well, at least I did.

Instead, we sat in the bunker, him on a folding chair and me on the bed at opposite ends of the small room. True had been exceptionally great since Levi’s return. She told me she’d cover for me the whole night if I wanted, just to be careful—she’d said this with a sassy wink—then disappeared back into our cabin to make the girls go to bed.

Her behavior was weird… and good. It was like having the old True back. I wondered what had changed.

These thoughts flitted through my head as Levi readied himself to tell me the whole story. The bunker was his idea, somewhere to keep nosy ears from overhearing us. Warren, it seemed, had spies everywhere. I hadn’t minded the change in location. The bunker didn’t scare me anymore. I’d seen so much worse than a small, concrete structure built to protect people from a war that never arrived.

It was surreal being back here again, though. The last time I’d been inside this cement hideout, Levi had saved me after I’d witnessed Sarah and Chef Chloe attempting to drink blood from little Johnny. That had been about a month and a half ago, but it seemed like much longer. So much had changed.

And yet, it was me and Levi, here together once again.

We were alone. Together in private. Hussy Piper’s mind wandered toward all kinds of naughty things as my eyes trailed across the clean bedspread.

I shook my head. What kind of monster thought about getting hot and heavy with her boyfriend while waiting for him to relay the gruesome details of how he taken out her father’s murderer?

What was wrong with me?

“Is something wrong?” he asked, his eyes watching my movements carefully. “Your pulse is elevated.”

“Yeah, I’m just nervous about what you’re going to tell me. I’ve thought about my dad’s murder for so long. I just… I don’t know how I’ll react.”

“I can tell you later. And if being in the bunker is bothering you—”

“It’s not. But thank you for checking.”

He nodded, growing quiet. He still looked wary, like his words might shake my foundations to the ground. I was determined to keep that from happening. My father was dead, yes. My only hope was that Levi was right, and the killer that took him from me was gone, too.

“Go ahead,” I said, inhaling deeply. “I’m ready.”

With one more probing glance to make sure I was as ready as I claimed, Levi steeled himself and started to recount the story.

“So, as you know, I went out on the hunt with Malachi and Wesley, two of Warren’s crew. I’d met them a couple of times, and they seemed like decent guys.
