Chapter 292

CARSON SAT ON THE curb, Ryan's arm wrapped around her. She stared at the asphalt and the bits of twinkling glass that had fallen out of her clothes and hair. The cops that had arrived a few minutes after Ryan rescued her were going back and forth. No one was speaking to her yet, which she was grateful for.

Ben was dead.

That man had looked at him and decided his life was pointless.

She could still see the moment the first bullet hit Ben in her mind. Like a perfectly captured picture.

"Hey," Ryan whispered.

Carson closed her eyes. She wasn't ready.

"The detective is here. Do you want to call a lawyer?" he asked.

She swallowed. Her ass was already on the line. Agent Walker was going to come down on her hard for this. She didn't know how she could fix the situation. With Ben dead, how were they going to decipher the files? No one knew who Ben's clients were except him.

"Carson, please talk to me?"
