“Good god,” Cade commented

“I hired the best lawyers I could, presented all the evidence that was insurmountable and proved beyond a doubt that her death was self-inflicted I was found innocent of her death by a jury of my peers, and I believed that would be it, but Eva’s brother continued to accuse me of the crime The co hell, claiet really awful for Trey and I Eventually, I had to travel a route akin to the witness protection progra to a new city, just to keep us safe Your boss was designated to see to it that I wasat me

He took a deep breath and I noticed his eyes glance towards the hole in the wall outside the den “But, it would seem I didn’t escape my past as much as I believed I had We’ve been here five years successfully, but today so pictures ofover Eva’s dead body She believes I committed that et ahold of her since”

I sat staring at Harrison, or Adam It was a lot of information that I felt like should have been co the truth A e, childhood, and past, but he cannot truly hide who he is I’d spent enough time with Harrison to know exactly what the od’s sake He wasn’t the kind ofat the pain in his face, I could see that he had been haunted by the notion that anyone would think he would, most of all Jordan

He looked at o to her place and check on her She wasn’t in a good place when she left, and I’iven the circumstances, I can’t blame her”

“And that?” Cade interjected,towards the wall

“Jordan?” I walked through her apartrade her hodge-podge furniture any chance a birthday or holiday would allow Christ her place et her a whole new apartment “Jordan?”
