Chapter 79: Who Paid The Bounty?

Adeline

Dread coiled inside Adeline. Indecision tore at her. If they didn't visit her boss, more would come after them. And with a five hundred-thousand-dollar price tag on his head, few would refuse and eventually they'd be screwed.

"Who do you think ordered this?" Jack asked.

"I don't know." Emmie never revealed the clients, and previously, Adeline never cared. "She won't tell me." She clenched her fists. "What are we going to do? Even with our skills, we can't hide forever."

Her heart hammered. They'd recently finished fighting Marie and settling with Beth, and now this.

"Hey, we will figure something out. Wish I had some rich relatives who could buy out whoever this is." His lopsided smile made her heart speed up. "Who knows, maybe I do, but as an orphan, it might take a while to locate them. Damn, I should've used the Oracle powers when I had them to look into my own timeline and find my parents."
