Wolf nods.

Cole looks around the room.
His gaze finally settles on Sophie.
“No one gets near Claire or her daughter.”
Havoc folds his arms.
“How many people know they're here?”
“No one,” I whisper.
Cole looks at me.
“Someone knows.”
A chill moves over my skin.
“How?”
“Because you didn't come here by accident. Nathan sent you.”
He closes his fist around the key.
“And if someone killed him because of whatever is in that box, they'll know exactly where you went.”

Wolf moves toward the window.

“Claire.”
