LOGINI know it’s risky and probably stupid, but at this point I’m willing to follow any instinct that might lead me closer to Val. Maybe Noah’s men missed something. Maybe there’s still a clue hidden there waiting for someone to notice it.Quickly, I jump into the shower and then get ready. I leave the g
Noah’s jaw tightens immediately as his eyes narrow on the guy.“What the fuck do you mean the signal is coming from the Sahara, Blaze?” he asks, his voice full of disbelief.So that was the guy’s name. At least now I can use it instead of just calling him ‘Guy’.Blaze looks just as confused as the r
