We are rarely proud when we are alone.

LOGAN
Hadley jumps when I sling open the door to her room.
She jerks out her earbuds, clutching her chest with her free
hand.
“Cheese and rice, you lunatic. Don’t scare someone like
that when there’s a serial killer literally in our backyard.”
“Or living just a few cabins down, right?” I ask dryly,
though there’s an edge to my tone that has her entire body
stiffening.
She doesn’t even have to say the words, but I want to
hear them.
“You knew?” I ask her quietly, my tone full of disbelief
and heartbreak.
Everything hurts right now, even as I fight off the
onslaught of emotions. In this unit, you train against showing
emotion at all costs. I’ve never found that to be harder to do
than today.
Her lips move for several seconds before words actually
start coming out.
“Logan, I’m sorry, but—”
“You knew!” I shout with accusation, as my fist slams
into the wall, and my entire body heaves for a breath of air that
doesn’t feel lined with lead.
“Logan!” she yells, but I turn around and face her, slowly
regaining my calm. “Listen. It was complicated, and she—”
“We’re done, Hadley. You and me. I’m fucking done with
you,” I say on a broken promise.
Tears immediately spring from her eyes.
“Are you serious?” She has the nerve to ask that with
incredulity in her tone.
“Yeah. I can’t be friends with someone who could watch
me fall in love with someone like that and not tell me the
truth.”
Her eyes narrow, and her lips tremble. “Someone like
that? Someone who would kill or die to keep you safe?
Someone who loved you so much that she almost gave up her
revenge?”
“Her revenge?” I ask bitterly, shaking my head as I turn
and stalk away. “It’s not her fucking revenge!”
I slam the door behind me, and stalk next door to where
Leonard almost falls off the chair when I burst in. “Shit! Easy,
man. I’m trying to find some more info on Ken—”
His words die when he sees my face. “Oh shit,” he says
on an exhale.
“Yeah,” I say, dropping to a chair and grabbing the bottle
of whiskey he has hanging out of his go-bag. “She admitted
it.”
“She what?” he asks, shocked.
“She basically admitted it. I couldn’t stick around for a
full confession.”
“Where the hell is she?”
I run my sleeve over my eyes, then turn up the bottle.
“Cuffed to my bed,” I say when I lower the bottle.
His eyes grow wider.
“I have no idea what to do right this second. She’s fucked
my head up so much that I can’t bear turning her over to
anyone in this town or the FBI. But I know I have to do
something. Since I don’t know what, I cuffed her in place.”
