“I have feelers out. Other spies that I was in contact with.”
“Are you serious?” she demanded. “You’re on the outs. If they find where you are, they’ll kill you. What happens if your negligence brings Harrington to their doorstep?”
“I’m being careful.”
“You better be,” she snapped. She sighed and sized him up forwhat he was telling her. “Can any of your contacts get into the camps?”
Everett shook his head. “None of them would risk it.”
“Yeah.” There went that idea.
“Well, here they are,” he said, stopping in front of one of the nondescript black doors. “Let me know if you need me, Reyna.” He placed his hand tentatively on her shoulder.
She jerked out of his touch. She still hadn’t forgiven him for all he had done to her. Finding this place was only the tip of the iceberg as far as she was concerned. Everett had a lot more making up to do.
He held his hands up. “I get the picture. You can forgive murderers but not me.”
“You turned me in. I was tortured. Then you help us withinformationat the last minute, which resulted in my brother being captured and tortured. Excuse me if I’m not running to make you feel better about the shit you’ve pulled.”
“I didn’t know about the stuff with Brian. I saw the trap for what it was. Would it have been better if I hadn’t told you? Then no one would have gotten away.”
“It was some well-timed information.”
Everett sighed heavily. “You should trust me, Reyna. You’re running out of friends.”
“I appreciate what you’ve done, but it doesn’t absolve you of everything else. We have a truce. Not a friendship.”
Reyna knocked twice on the door to Drew and Laura’s room. Everett blew out a long breath before disappearing back down the hall.
“Rey!” Drew said, flinging the door open and enveloping her.
“Hey, big brother.”
“I didn’t know you were coming.”
“Well, here I am.”
“Hey, Reyna,” Laura said. She stood from the twin bed in thecorner and came to give her a hug.
“It’s so good to see you. How’s my niece or nephew doing?”
Laura patted her belly. “Making mama sick as a dog, unfortunately.”
“Sounds about right.”
“Those new Elle people didn’t help much. Shell-shocked. Going to need to get them some therapy. Even the children looked horrified,” Laura said with a shake of her head. “I wonder what happened to them.”
“I…I think you should sit down,” Reyna said.
Drew raised his eyebrows. “What’s going on?”
“Both of you.”
Laura retreated back to her twin bed and took a seat. Drew looked uncomfortable and curious, then relented. He had a pallet against the opposite wall but took the chair in the corner.
“Tell us,” Drew said.
Reyna took a deep breath and told them everything. Start to finish. She didn’t want to tell them why the new Elle people were so shell-shocked or about Brian’s feeding frenzy or how he was now. She especially didn’t want to tell them that he didn’t want to see them. Any of them. But she did. She told it all.
