MEETING ZACH

Astrid jumped up from her seat, covering her grandfather's frail form, along with Maren with traces of fear in their eyes. 

Maren's eyes narrowed, her voice firm. "How did you get in here Dad?" Maren's voice trembled as she looked around.

Landon flashed out a sly grin, his eyes darting between Astrid and Maren."Wow, so your relationship with Astrid is so close that she knows this?"

But Astrid cut him off already, not having good feelings about his appearance here. "What exactly do you want, Landon?"

Landon's expression turned serious, his voice low. "I don't need much, Astrid. Just a name for myself, my bitch daughters can't do it aside from you who have a close relationship with the Logans directly."

He drew nearer to her, "I want my name cleared of being a killer. I want to be able to walk freely, without hiding in the shadows."
