Cole wants to kill him. That would break my vow to always keep swimming

to the surface, never sinking to the bottom, becoming more vicious than the

monsters trying to devour me.

My worst fear is to become like my mother. When I catch myself doing

anything her way, I want to slap my own face. I won’t do it. I refuse.

“If you don’t want the money, will you give it to Frank?” I ask.

Now Joanna does consent to take the envelopes. I have no doubt she’ll give

them both to Frank. Joanna’s principles are as iron-hard as her posture. I

always respected that about her.

“Thank you again,” I say. “If you ever need anything—”

“I won’t.”

She closes the door, not slamming it in my face, but certainly not waiting for

my response.

Making the long descent back to the car, I can tell Cole has followed the

conversation as closely as if he could hear it.

“She’s still upset about Erin,” he guesses.

“So am I,” I tell him. “What are we going to do about Shaw? Why has he

been so quiet?”

“He usually goes dark after three kills. This time it was four—but the third

was a prop, to trap me. He meant the real climax to be you.”

Cole’s intimate understanding of Shaw’s process unnerves me.

Stomach clenching, I ask him, “How do you know that? How did you find

out what Shaw does? And how did he find out about you? Were you

friends?”

Cole sits tall in the driver’s seat, seeming to fill the whole space of the car.

Seeming to loom over me.

Asking him questions is terrifying.
