Chapter 245

MARCO GRIPPED THE STEERING wheel with both hands. He had very little idea of what to expect, who might still be at home or if the police here were mobilized and out to get them. Ghost wasn't answering, which meant they were on their own, and they needed supplies. Plus, Marco couldn't go to ground without checking on his family, though doing so might put Fiona at risk.

It was a no-win situation.

"What do we do if someone is here?" he asked. Again.

"Run to your parent's house, get on the ATV, and head for the biggest rock on the horizon," Fiona repeated his words down to the pauses for emphasis.

"Good. And?"

"And then call Aegis."

He could see her glance at him from the corner of his eye. She was probably biting her lip. He was becoming well-versed in her expressions, the way she looked when they discussed her real past, versus her fictional one.

If he could go back in time and put things back the way they'd been, he'd do it in a heartbeat.
