Chapter Four

Chapter Four—Desmond

The edges of my consciousness kept fading to a dull gray, and it took all my strength and concentration to keep snapping back into clarity a few moments at a time.

Despite the blood transfusion Ernesto had given me, I was still weaker than I'd ever been in my life. I flexed the muscles in my arms, but I couldn't break free of the duct tape that was wrapped around my wrists, securing them behind my back, not that I could have anyway, even under the best of circumstances.

Chelsea was in the seat next to mine, also trussed up with tape. I wanted to reassure her that I'd get us out of this, but the truth was, I didn't have the first idea how I could possibly do that. I'd been turning things over and over in my admittedly foggy head, and the way I saw it, we were terminally screwed from just about every angle. Our chances of ever seeing another sunrise were slim to none.

I'd never known anyone more dangerous or deadly than my oldest brother.

I had seen him do things to people that gave me nightmares for years after—and worse, I had seen that terrible look in his eyes, the one that told me nothing he'd done could possibly compare to the things he didn't do, the secret atrocities he kept locked away in the morbid and moldering charnel house of his broken brain.

Had I really thought he would never use his gift for carnage against me? How had I been so blind to his true, sick, rabid nature for so much of my life?

And would that blindness now cost me my life and the life of the only real love I'd ever had?

“I can't believe you guys thought I didn't know about your dumb little love nest,” Junior chortled from the driver's seat as he cruised down Lake Shore Drive.

The lights of the skyline twinkled across his craggy face, making it appear strangely ethereal, as though fairy lights were dancing in patterns on his rugged skin. “You think Peter and I didn't know you two went down there together every couple of weeks when you were kids? We followed you a couple of those nights, sure. You had no fucking idea, did you? Yeah, we used to laugh about it sometimes, how moony you two would get for each other. There were a few times when Peter wanted to tell Dad, but I always talked him out of it.”

“Oh? Why is that?” I wasn't particularly interested, but I wanted to keep him talking. It was a long shot, but maybe I could get him to slip up, start getting sentimental about our past so I could use that to make him rethink this.

“Well, first of all, Dad wasn't exactly gonna reward one of his sons for being a rat, now was he?” Junior glanced in the rearview mirror, giving me a toothy grin. “I figure I probably saved him one hell of a beating there, don't you? Besides.
