“Whatever it is you’re up to, I assure you it’s in your best interest to reveal yourself immediately.” Yeah, right. If my lungs weren’t about to explode with the effort of staying silent, I might actually have laughed. “If the others find you before I do, there will only be so much I can do to protect you.” Protect me? How gullible did he think I was? Did he really expect me to— “Don’t end up like your mother. She betrayed me and lost my trust. You should learn from her mistakes.”
