But no Vlad

And nothing to tie Vlad to anything beyond hearsay

So basically, Vlad is going to get aith everything So is Andrei, by default

I hear a soft knock just a second before the door creaks open Licks and Stanley tear out of

"Yeah, sure" I think that cold rain seeped into ht Even after a hot shower, I still woke up shivering

"I’ll take theroom

"Thanks, Warner" Rain strolls into ht?"

Part of me wants to tease her, just like I used to do "What’s he doing here? Does thatup pretenses anymore?" Disappointment stirs inside me

"I need a few hours of sleep Otherwise, I rin touches her lips "I don’t think you want that"

"No, that would suck after all this" Rain, with a gun Sure, I know she’s a cop I know she has a gun, but actually seeing her pull it last night, right before ordering me to ht, if Vlad had showed up?" Vlad wasn’t waiting in the shadows to kill ht since the funeral But for those fiveho Rain safe Ironic, considering she was the one with the gun, protectinght

"If he was armed, I would have shot hi’s shifted between us since last night I think it hasin bed, trying to review every moment since the day I met her All the ways she deceivedthat made me realize all the ways she also helpeddown one way or another If Rain hadn’t been here, who knohere I would have ended up?

Maybe in that SUV with Rust

In a sense, she saveda foot away from me and I miss her so daraze her knuckles withit for the case, butwhat’s gonna happen now?"
