CHAPTER 76 Controversy

  "Enough to know it's bad, Camila. She mentioned your name, some sort of document... I couldn't get everything. But you have to be careful," Blake urged, his words tumbling out in a rush.

  "Okay, okay. I'll... I'll figure something out." Camila's mind raced, trying to connect dots that danced just out of reach.

  "Just watch your back, Camila. That's all I'm saying," Blake finished, his tone softening ever so slightly.
