Chapter Forty-Four
“Now?” Blondie is more confused than I am. “But I’m not
done examining her.”
Kenji shrugs. “He wants to meet her.”
“Who’s Castle?” I ask.
Blondie and Kenji look at me. Kenji looks away. Blondie
doesn’t.
He cocks his head. “Kenji didn’t tell you anything about
this place?”
“No.” I falter, uncertain, glancing at Kenji, who won’t look
at me. “He never explained anything. He said he knew
someone who had a safe place and thought he could help us
—”
Blondie gapes. Laughs so hard he snorts. Stands up.
Cleans his glasses with the hem of his shirt. “You’re such an
ass,” he says to Kenji. “Why didn’t you just tell her the
truth?”
“She never would’ve come if I told her the truth.”
“How do you know?”
“She nearly killedme—”
My eyes are darting from one face to the other. Blond hair
to black hair and back again. “What is going on?” I demand.
“I want to see Adam. I want to see James. And I want a set
of clothes—”
“You’re naked?” Kenji is suddenly studying my sheet and
not bothering to be subtle about it.
I flush despite my best efforts, flustered, frustrated.
“Blondie said they destroyed my clothes.”
“Blondie?” Blond man is offended.
“You never told me your name.”
“Winston. My name is Winston.” He’s not smiling anymore.
