I took another sip of my drink, the bitter taste a reflection of the bitterness in my soul. I didn't know what to do, what to believe. All I know was that I felt lost, alone, and utterly betrayed.

But enough to scare me. “Be very careful with that word.” “Why?” “Because betrayal,” he said quietly, “isn’t always physical.” Silence. Heavy. Deadly. He reached the console and tapped a key.
