CHAPTER 2 EXCERPTS:
There is no blood or sign of injury or struggle here. There is also no indication of life and that she will reawaken. There is no there there. There is no her there, here. But I check for vital signs of life a second time anyway, again rudely confronted with the paradox that nothingness can exist. That she can not exist.
The click I heard sounded like the hammer of a pistol being cocked back, which makes no sense in this place.
All I need is time, expertise, faith, and resources I don’t have, to do something I don’t know how to do, with something that could unleash unimaginable destruction across international Lynch Global systems, possibly the world.
No big deal. I’m not sweating, you’re sweating.
The comment rolls off my tongue, a crass grenade, before I can swallow its blast.
The journalist-trained portion of my brain has a million questions it’s dying to ask [him] about Datum Analytica and all the things he knows about the Lynches and their projects, particularly the lesser-known, seedier projects. But the newly activated Head of PR portion of my brain knows it’s best to be patient and gain his trust first, and to keep him as close as possible.
I’m not about to bare my soul to this total stranger, who is conceivably dangerous, despite him becoming less and less of a stranger with each passing second.
“If he’s Satan’s spawn, wouldn’t that make you the devil’s child too?”
That was the absolute last thing I was expecting her to say, even though I obviously wholeheartedly empathize with her new long-suffering plight. What wouldn’t a young woman do to avenge a mother who was gone too soon due to the callousness of men, the world, or shitty circumstances?
Her eyes are filled with understanding and worst of all, hope. And there is no way that I’m going to be the one who takes that away from her. Not now. Not when she needs me to be on her side the most.
“Tori, tell me the truth. Do you believe my mother was an adulterous, suicidal, criminal?”
Screw An0nymoUS1, whoever they really are, and whatever game they’re trying to play.
