CHAPTER FOUR

We weren’t talking about it. What had happened between us. It wasn’t a part of the conversation, but I knew it wasn’t far away from either of our minds.

Aiden couldn’t look at me properly. I didn’t know if it was because he was developing new, difficult feelings for me, or he was trying to slaughter the feelings that were left. For me, I found it hard to be close to him. Especially when he was facing me. I think we were both confused by the taboo. There was a sickening pang of disgust that went with it, along with the progression towards what had driven us there in the first place. Maybe we didn’t want to believe it had happened. And yet out of all the things that had happened tonight, it would be hard to say that our shared moments were the worst of it…

“Stop it,” Aiden said. “Stop trying to convince me you’re up to this.”

“You need to stop treating me like I’m your little sister,” I countered. “I’m a grown woman. I can make my own decisions.”

We were walking again now. Up ahead was the tunnel leading down to the train station.

“What do you even think you can help me with?” Aiden asked. “Seriously, what do you have to add that will help us?”

“Maybe some common freaking sense.”

“Seriously?”

“Seriously,” I said. “And if you don’t let me come along with you, then I’m going straight to the cops. Which I probably have a good mind to do anyway.”

“That will just put you in even more danger.”

“How so?”

“You think they’re not going to be able to find a girl in a police station, who is making up stories about bears and government secrets? You wouldn’t last an hour in there.”

“You know none of this would have happened if you just stayed where you were,” I said sourly. “They wouldn’t be after us like this. Mom and Dad and Lara would all be okay.”

“They might still be okay,” Aiden said.

“Really?”

He shrugged and shook his head. “I don’t know. All I know is that we have to shut their operation down before it gets any more out of control.”

There was a pause.

“Hey,” I said. “Who were the guys on the bikes? What did they want?”

Aiden gritted his teeth together. “I don’t know.”

“I thought you said that if you pushed the button they were supposed to come and help you.”

“Look, I don’t know, alright?”

“And how did they get there so fast? I mean – is their base or club house only five minutes down the road from Fort Pacific?”

“I don’t know!” Aiden shouted.

“Well, you must know something.”

Aiden stopped. Right outside the train station tunnel.

“I’m not going down there,” I said. “I don’t care. I’m coming with you.”

He looked at me and closed his eyes a moment. Then he turned and walked towards the building at the side of us. There was an ATM machine there.

“What are you doing?” I said hovering over his shoulder.

After his transaction was complete he turned and stuffed a pile of cash into my hands.
