My refusal of violence was a pillar in my own sense of self. The evidence

that I was a good person.

Now I wonder if I’m just a coward.

The idea of facing Shaw, of taking real action against him, terrifies me. I

never stopped having nightmares of the night he grabbed me. I’ve never felt

more afraid than when his bull-like body hurtled toward me, too fast to run or

even to scream before he hit me so hard it felt like my head exploded.

This time, Cole will be with me.

But even Cole isn’t looking forward to the battle with Shaw. He knows better

than I the level of Shaw’s brutality and cunning. It won’t be easy to catch him

off guard.

If I do nothing, as surely as the sun rises, I’ll see another article about a

murdered girl.

Immediately he replies, “Yes?”

“We have to kill Shaw.”

He lets out a small breath of air that might be amusement.

“I know that. I’ve known it all along. You’re finally catching up.”

“Well, I’m here now. How do we do it?”

“You’re not ready yet.”

This is so infuriating that I roll over in a huff, leaning on my elbow, trying to

make out his expression in the dark.

“What are you talking about?”

“If you’re agreeing that we need to do this, then you’re going to help me. We

have the best chance of success working together. But you’re not ready.”
