He raised his voice, so that anyone between here and
the main plaza would hear?Come out, come out, wherever you are,? he called, his voice hard
and mocking
CHAPTER 29
Betrayed
Maybe I should have run the other wayBut no one was holding me back now, and though his
voice was cold and angry, Jared was calling to meMelanie was even more eager than I was as I
stepped carefully around the corner and into the blue light; I hesitated there
Ian stood just a few feet ahead of me, poised on the balls of his feet, ready for whatever hostile
movement Jared might make fake white chanel watches toward me
Jared sat on the ground, on one of the mats Jamie and I had left hereHe looked as weary as
Ian, though his eyes, too, were more alert than the rest of his exhausted posture
?At ease,? Jared said to Ian?I just want to talk to itI promised the kid, and I'll stand by that
promise
?Where's Kyle?? Ian demandedYour cave might shake apart from the vibrations
?I'm not lying, IanAnd I'm not going to kill itNo matter how messed up this
stupid situation is, Jamie has as much say as I do, and he's been totally suckered, so I doubt he'll
be giving me the go-ahead chanel sheep bag anytime soon
?No one's been suckered,? Ian growled
Jared waved his hand, dismissing the disagreement over terminology?It's not in any danger
from me, is my point For the first time he looked at me, evaluating the way I hugged the far
wall, watching my hands tremble?I won't hurt you again,? he said to me
I took a small step forward
?You don't have to talk to him if you don't want to, Wanda,? Ian said quickly?This isn't a duty
or a chore to be done
Jared's eyebrows pulled low over his eyes?Ian's words confused him I took another short stepJared turned his hand palm hermes kelly up
and curled his fingers twice, encouraging me forward
I walked slowly, each step an individual movement followed by a pause, not part of a steady
advanceI stopped a yard away from himIan shadowed each step, keeping close to my side
?I'd like to talk to it alone, if you don't mind,? Jared said to him
?No, Ian, it's okay I nudged his arm lightly
Ian scrutinized my face, his expression dubious?This isn't some death wish? Sparing the kid??
he demandedJared wouldn't lie to Jamie about this
Jared scowled when I said his name, the sound of it full of balenciaga uk confidence
?Please, Ian,? I pleaded?I want to talk to him
Ian looked at me for a long minute, then turned to scowl at JaredHe barked out each sentence
like an order
?Her name isWanda, notitYou will not touch herAny mark you leave on her, I will double on
your worthless hide
I winced at the threat
Ian turned abruptly and stalked into the darkness
It was silent for a moment as we both watched the empty space where he had disappearedI
looked at Jared's face first, while he still stared after IanWhen he turned to meet my gaze, I
dropped my eyesHe's not kidding, is he?? Jared chanel black handbags said
