Death in the Family
Page 27
It isn’t the first lie I’ve told him. That happened in the Sinclairs’ house when he inquired about my scar. I said Bram had nothing to do with my deformity. In fact, it links us sure as a chain.
Bram wasn’t lying when he declared we have history. I wish I could say his claim didn’t register until after he escaped, but I was already wise to him in the belly of the East Village. It was there I cracked open his stories and inspected the cold goo inside until I found the nucleus. The heart of it all.
There’s darkness in me, just like there is in Bram, but I refuse to let it take over. I owe it to my family, to A-Bay and Tim, to fight. I have skin in the game, no question, but I’ve got skills, too.
Enough to defend about a thousand islands.
