Chapter Ten

Three days later, as I held the crumpled piece of paper in my hand, I realized that I had been wrong about Jordan. As wrong about her as I had been about anyone before.

I’d thought she was smart, but the paper in my hand proved how mistaken I was. She was foolish, stupid, and may very well die because of it.

I glanced out of that window that I had grown to hate into the parking lot that I had grown to hate even more, and watched her walk to her car as I had those times before. And as I watched, I tried to bite back the bitter disappointment that filled me.

Such a waste.

I’d done horrible things, unspeakable things, things I tried—and failed—to forget. But I’d always done them for a reason, one that I believed in more than anything. And that reason was protecting people like Jordan.

But as I again glanced at the piece of paper, I realized that she wasn’t worth my protection, that she was a part of the problem. It stung. And confused me. I’d gone with my gut, chosen to believe her when she said that she was done, and I had been burned.

And once she explained herself, she’d pay for that error. A fact that, despite everything, saddened me. But what else could I do? Jordan was a stranger, not someone that I trusted, or even believed, but still, I’d given her a chance, and she'd tossed it away.

I took the scenic route to her place, hoping that the few extra moments would help me clamp down the rage that roared through my system. As I approached the door I searched for an answer, but there wasn’t one to be found.

I knocked hard, impatiently, and she opened quickly and let me in.

Her expression shifted to one of concern, genuine-looking worry when she glanced at my face. My rage flew even higher.

“You stupid, foolish woman,” I said, voice hard and cold as little chips of ice. “I gave you every chance. I gave you more than a chance. But you didn’t learn.”

“Will you come in?” she asked, glancing around behind me, I presumed to ensure that no neighbors were around.

I glared at her, and she took a step back. I entered and closed and locked the door behind me. After a deep breath, I turned to face her.

“Don’t fuck with me, Jordan. Not now. I thought we had an understanding.”

“We did. We do,” she said, eyes widening. “I haven’t done anything at all. I promise.”

Her voice wavered over the last word, and that little hint of uncertainty didn’t fit Jordan, not the real Jordan I’d seen.

“Then explain this,” I said, shoving the piece of paper into her hands.

She scanned the page quickly, and her eyes narrowed.

“I have no idea what this is,” she said.

“Back to playing dumb? I know better.”

“No! Seriously, I have nothing to do with this.” She stepped closer to me and held the paper up for my inspection.

“You see this. It says I logged in using my username and password from my own terminal.
