Summary
“Get out of the car,” Ryan says. “Now.”
He can’t bear to look at Naim, knowing what he’s done. Knowing that because of him, he’ll be cursed forever.
“Okay.” Naim’s voice is barely above a whisper.
The world is eerily quiet, the obsidian darkness of the night broken only by the flickering streetlamps. The click of Naim’s seatbelt unlatching sounds deafening in the silence. Ryan stares straight ahead at the empty street. It’s all he can do not to break down. Anger boils beneath his skin, hot and poisonous, but worse than the anger is the betrayal. Excruciating. Heartbreaking betrayal. Naim had told on him and Hunter.
He had gotten Hunter killed.
“Naim.” Ryan’s voice breaks the silence.
He can feel the tension hanging between them. He can almost feel the hope in Naim as he turns away from the half-open door, as though he’s holding his breath, waiting for Ryan to say something that might make this okay.
“If you see anything that looks like me, don’t go near it.” His voice is cold. “It will never be me.”
