Chapter 138

Kendrick didn't want to feel sorry for Ruth, he really didn't, but dammit all, did she have to look so disappointed, and worse, cry when they didn't find any decent clues as to her sister's whereabouts? It annoyed him that his first urge was to hug and console her. He restrained himself, and meant to ignore her, but he wasn't a complete ass. He could understand how Ruth missed her sister and worried for her safety. If it were his family, he'd have lost his mind. But understanding didn't mean he could let her bow to her sorrow, especially since he didn't see any reason for it yet.
