I don’t budge. “I don’t take orders from you.”
“If you disobey, you’ve gone rogue.”
“And you’re going to stop me?”
“You know I could,” he says with a dangerous smile.
“A threat, is it? What would Annelise think if you were to kill me? I don’t imagine it’d go over too well,” I say, watching as the truth of it registers. “Checkmate, McCloud. You can’t convince me, and you can’t kill me, either.”
I slip away before he decides he doesn’t care what Annelise thinks.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Like her heroine, Veronica Wolff braved an all-girls school, traveled to far away places, and studied lots of languages. She was, however, never trained as an assassin (or so she claims). In real life, she’s most often found on a beach or in the mountains in Northern California, but you can always find her online at veronicawolff.com.
