“That, too.” Jake moved from the door to the sofa, collapsing on it. “I wish I knew how to stop him.”


Settling beside him, Russ said, “Finding him is the first step and it might not be as hard as it sounds. When he finds out Todd’s alive, it could push him over the edge. He’ll start hunting for his next victim and he might not be as careful this time.”
