'Haha..."
A sinister laugh echoed in response to my question.
| knew that laugh. It was Bruno.
But why the hell was Jace with him? Could Hernan's claim about the mastermind actually mean Jace involved?
I'd suspected it before, but now it hitlike a punch. Anger flared, and | demanded coldly, "Where's Jace? Put
him on the phone."
*Tsk tsk, so fierce. Just like when you play snooker," Bruno taunted.
| didn't have the tor patience for games. "Bruno, what do you want?"
"| told you already, didn't I? Just wanted to play snooker. By the way, your gtoday was impressive. Very
nice," he sneered.
| should've appreciated the compliment, but coming from him, it made my stomach churn.

pause. Then, he added, "Right, Mr. Johnston?"

through, sounding distant and urgent.
| froze. He wasn't in on this with Bruno. Bruno had him captive.
Before | could process it, Bruno spoke again, his tone shifting from mockery to something darker. "If you want to
see Jace, cto the address I'm sending you. Don't, and I'll make sure he takes a little trip to heaven, where he
can confess his sins to Jesus for all the ways he's wronged you."
"Rea, don't listen to him. Don't-Jace's voice was suddenly cut off by loud, sickening blows, followed by his pained
grunts.
So I'd been wrong. Jace wasn't the mastermind Hernan had hinted at. Maybe there wasn't any mastermind at all-
just a story Herman had spun to mislead me.
"Bruno, tell them to stop! I'm coming over now!" | shouted into the phone.
"Good. I'll be waiting for you, beautiful," Bruno said, then hung up. The sounds of fighting stopped.
As the call ended, my strength drained away, and my hand dropped limply to my side.
A message notification buzzed on my phone. It was a location pin.
| stared at it, dazed, but | didn't go right away. Instead, dialed Hayden.
Jace had toldnot to come. If | went, I'd just be another hostage. But | wasn't about to rush blindly into
Bruno's trap.

The call rang endlessly, and my frustration grew. Then realized | didn't need Hayden specifically-1 could call
Steve.
Just as | was about to hang up, Hayden picked up.
