Vincent was on ainst it when I tried to push past hily calm

“Don’t telllife, Vincent! Into just sit here…” My voice cracked as I struggled to keep the tears in check “I’oing to lose hi to find him”

Vincent took the phone from me and then pointed to the bed “Sit,” he said, his voice hard and cold

“No!” I yelled

“Sit the fuck down, Ethan!” thesoirl’s phone if I have to worry about you taking off”

I fell silent at that Was he really going to help me?

“Lucy’s phone?” I asked “He took it with him?”

He nodded and pointed to the bed I went and sat down and watched him return to his computer

“What if I call him on it?” I asked “Maybe he’ll listen to me and stop all this”

“I saw the man’s expression when he left here He was on a mission”

I felt helpless as I watched Vincent work Helpless and pissed I knehy Cain had done it, but it still hurt to know he’dto me And just as soon as I kneas safe, I’d let him know that that shit wouldn’t fly in the future

We had a future

I had to believe that

“Here,” Vincent said as he turned the laptop towards nize the name of the town, but based on the fact that there weren’ttowns, it looked like it was in the middle of nowhere

“Virginia?” I asked “Eric lives in Maryland and works in DC”

“I’et him on more neutral turf” Vincent clicked soed to an aerial of the location “Looks like an old farmhouse,” he murmured “Abandoned probably”
