“Which means once we do it,” Vivian said, “we can’t take it back. Once we tell Nolan that we’re working with Pascal, once we deliver that message—we’re in Pascal’s organization. We’re not witnesses. We’re participants.”Sebastian turned to look at me.“Is that what you want,” he said. His voice was very quiet.“No,” I said. “But I don’t know if what I want matters anymore.”“It matters,” Sebastian said. “What you want still matters. What I want still matters. What Vivian wants still matters. We’re not powerless yet.”“Aren’t we,” Vivian said from beside us. “Pascal has leverage. Pascal has threats. Pascal has made it clear that if we don’t cooperate, people get hurt. How is that not powerlessness?”The ocean continued its rhythm against the rocks.“Because we still have a choice,” Sebastian said. His voice had changed—it was harder now, more certain. “Pascal is offering us a choice. It’s a terrible choice. It’s a choice between two things we don’t want. But it’s still a choice.”“What

Chapter 62: The ChoiceWe drove in silence for a long time.No destination. Just moving through Los Angeles while the evening turned to night and the city lights began to replace the sunset. Vivian hadn’t said a word since we got in the car. I was staring at the text on my phone, reading it over and over, as if the words might rearrange themselves into something that made sense.“Don’t call anyone. Don’t warn anyone. Just come back to the building tomorrow. Room 2304. We have more to discuss. And bring whatever evidence you have against Nolan. All of it. Or David starts talking tonight”.“We don’t have evidence,” Vivian said finally. Her voice cut through the silence like something sharp. “We don’t have anything that would hold up. We have conversations. We have things Nolan said. We have—” She stopped. “We have nothing.”“Pascal knows that,” Sebastian said. His hands were very tight on the steering wheel. “Pascal wouldn’t ask for it unless he was testing us. Unless he was seeing if w

Chapter 61: The Weight of It.We didn’t speak until we were in the car.We didn’t speak as we walked through the hallway. Didn’t speak as we waited for the elevator. Didn’t speak as we drove down into the parking garage and found our car and got in. The silence was the kind that had weight to it—the specific, heavy quiet of people who had just heard something they couldn’t unhear and were trying to understand what it meant.Sebastian’s hands were very tight on the steering wheel.Vivian was in the back seat with her face turned toward the window, looking at nothing in particular.I was trying to breathe normally and failing.“He’s working for him,” Vivian said finally. Her voice was very quiet. “David took the federal money and gave it to Pascal Morse. He’s been working for him the entire time.”“Not the entire time,” I said. “David was trying to run. He was trying to disappear to Mexico. But then Kim—” I stopped. Started again. “Kim found him. Kim told him that Nolan would hunt him.

Chapter 60: The Mall Immediately after Sebastian told Chris to run, we also moved to another city.We’d been in Los Angeles for two days.We were staying at a small hotel on the outskirts of the city. Nothing fancy. The kind of place where nobody asked questions and nobody cared who was checking in.Vivian had gone to the shopping mall to get clothes. Fresh things. Things that didn’t smell like fear and running.She’d been gone for an hour.She came back looking like she’d seen a ghost.“What’s wrong,” I asked.She didn’t answer right away. Just sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at the wall like it was very interesting.“I saw David,” she said finally.“What.”“At the mall. Coming out of a store. I saw David.”I set down the coffee I’d been holding.“David’s in Mexico. David and his mother got on a plane and they disappeared.”“That’s what we thought,” Vivian said. “But I’m telling you I saw him. He was wearing different clothes. Different hair. He had glasses on. But it was

Chapter 59: Finding ChrisSebastian pulled up Chris’s number.His thumb hovered over the call button for a long time.“If you call him,” Vivian said, “you’re bringing him into this. You’re leading him to Nolan.”“My father’s already decided Chris is a problem. I’m just the messenger.”“You’re the betrayal,” she said. “That’s what you are.”Sebastian made the call anyway.Chris picked up on the third ring.“Hey man, what’s up,” Chris said. He sounded normal. Relaxed. Like he had no idea his life was about to collapse.“I need help,” Sebastian said. “With something. Can you meet me.”“Right now. It’s like one in the morning.”“I know. But I need to talk to you. Face to face.”There was a pause.“Is everything okay,” Chris asked.“No,” Sebastian said. “But I can’t explain over the phone.”Another pause. Longer this time.“Where,” Chris finally said.Sebastian looked at me. I shook my head. Don’t do this.“There’s a parking garage on Fifth,” Sebastian said anyway. “Level four. Twenty minu

Kim came back inside and closed the door.“You three need to understand something,” he said.We didn’t say anything.“Your father just won. He got the video. He’s going to neutralize David with federal charges. He’s going to clean up every loose end except one.”“Except what,” Sebastian asked.“Except me. Except the person who’s been carrying his secrets for fifteen years. The person who knows where the bodies are buried. Literally.”Kim pulled out his phone.“I made copies too. Different copies. Better copies. And I’ve been waiting for the right moment to use them.”He showed us the screen.It was a video file. Not of Marcus. Of someone else. Someone very familiar.The file was labeled: Chris Park. Documented involvement in organized crime operations spanning 2010 to present.My blood went cold.“Your cousin,” Kim said to Sebastian. “Nolan never told you about Chris, did he.”Sebastian’s face had gone completely white.“Chris is just—”“Chris is very much involved. Chris has been run
