CHAPTER FIFTEEN

LUCILLE

I heard them talking and now I’m standing in their living room in shock. I should never have eavesdropped on Falcon and Crow, but when I went to ask them about lunch, I stopped short when I heard my father’s name. He’s going to get out, there is no doubt about it, but the fact he’s going to come for me has unease coiling in my stomach.

I raced into the lounge to turn on the news, and now, as I stare at the screen, my chest tightens with panic.

A jailbreak at the Molehill Penitentiary.

My heart stops. My lungs struggle with air as I stare at the reporter outside the prison. High walls, barbed wire, and cameras in every corner, and yet, three men have escaped. Three. As their names pop up on the screen, the mug I’d been holding falls from my hand.

It crashes to the floor, but I don’t hear it. I only hear my father’s name repeating over and over again. Lionel Mahoney. It’s no longer my name, I changed it legally years ago. But I can’t stop the panic swimming in my eyes which causes my vision to blur.

He’s out.

He’s free.

The photo of him appears on the television makes bile rise up my throat, burning its trail to my mouth where I force myself to swallow back the fear.

I can’t drag my gaze away from the screen. There’s evil in the man. He’s my father, but there has been a sinister darkness which has followed him around like a shadow. Deep down, I think it’s inside me.

I’ve fought for so long to ignore it. To focus on the good I can do in the world, but as I look at my dad, the man who gave me life, I know whatever is broken in him, is shattered in me. My mother did her best. She thought leaving the country would give me a fresh start, a new perspective, and ninety percent of the time, I am fine.

But it’s the other ten percent I can’t account for. It’s what scares me. Perhaps it happened the day he hurt me. I recall the scar running along my spine, the phantom pain tingling as I think about that night. The sleek blade sliced through me caused a sting of agony which tore my attention from the boys for a second.

I lost control and cost the boys their lives.

That day, I saw the devil in the form of my dad.

“Fuck,” Crow’s voice cuts through the darkness swimming in my vision. I can’t look at him because I know what I’ll see—rage. I don’t blame him, I feel it too. Deep down in my core, I realize my life is about to change once more.

When I glance over to the two men beside me, I take in their expressions filled with knowing. We’re aware of what’s about to come; my father will seek me out, and he’ll bring along the evil had haunted me for years.

The television still replaying the latest
