Chapter 416: It's All Pointless

I try for courage but what rises up inside of me is sorely lacking. It's not courage that's for sure. Instead, I feel a cold despair.

None of this matters, anymore.

If she's dead... It's all pointless.

There's enough blood on the ground that she may well be dead. But, if there's one thing I know about Georgia Kentley it's that she's a fighter. She's strong.

Far too f*cking wilful for her own good...

Plus, if she had died, they'd have left the body. That's what I tell myself at least.

John comes around the car to stand beside me, a gentle hand on my shoulder as he returns my phone to me. I almost flinch away from his fatherly support. I can't afford to pause. I can't stop for a second. If I do, I don't know how I'll ever save Georgia.

I'm barking out orders at the officers around me as if my heart hasn't stopped, as if my world hasn't stopped spinning. I'm on autopilot. Nothing matters, not now. Not if she's dead.
