CHAPTER 19

“Do you know what the plan is?” My gaze dances between Donovan and Daniel as I pose my question.

“We need to get to the transportation warehouse, and from there you’ll be teleported to the secret society’s base,” Daniel replies.

“In Egypt?” I inquire, and he nods. “Are you coming with us?”

He shakes his head. “My job is to stay in Eaton Lake to keep watch over your mother and to look out for any new enemy threats.”

“I need to speak to my mom before we go. She must be worried sick.”

“She is,” Kylie cuts in.

Daniel sends her a warning look, and she clamps her mouth shut. “I have spoken to her at length and explained everything,” he confirms. “She knew we were coming to get you out, and I’ve already sent her a text to confirm you’re safe.”

“And how did she take the news of your betrayal?” I direct my question at Kylie. She bites her lower lip and stares at the floor. “Yeah. I thought as much.”

“Tori, I know you’re pissed at Kylie, and you’ve every right to be, but she was only a kid when she was coerced into this madness,” Daniel says, doing his best to fight his sister’s corner.

“She was old enough to know right from wrong! And when my guys showed up, she had the perfect opportunity to come clean. They could have protected her, and you. I could have protected you both. But she chose to do nothing. Say nothing. To betray my trust and …” I draw a shuddering breath, not wanting to do this with an audience but unable to stop now I’ve opened the floodgates.

I stop talking about her in third person and look her square in the face. “Why, Kylie? Why didn’t you tell me once the guys showed up? We could’ve discussed it and figured a way to make this work to our advantage. Why didn’t you confess then?”

“I wanted to. I almost did. So many times,” she quietly admits. “But I was terrified of making things worse. Once the guys arrived in Eaton Lake, the number of undercover agents around town multiplied. It was like every time I turned around I spotted someone watching. I was freaking out and so scared they would overhear me telling you the truth and that we wouldn’t get to Daniel in time.”

“And you didn’t know any of this?” I arch a brow as I direct this question to Daniel.

He shakes his head. “I hadn’t a clue. I was so caught up in my work with the society and in watching out for you that I didn’t notice what was right under my nose.” He drags his hand along the back of his neck, sighing. “I’ll admit I was suspicious those last couple weeks. Kylie was acting weird and being so secretive, but never in a million years would I have guessed she was spying for the government. That as long as I was working for the society, she was plotting with the enemy.
