Panic flashes in his eyes now. “If you kill me, you’ll never find her.” I pause, for just a second, wondering if he’s telling me the truth. But I’m not stupid enough to fall for his tricks, and even if he is being honest…I can’t take the risk of keeping him alive. Shaking my head, I lean in close, spitting out the words. “I’ll always find her. But at least if you’re dead, I’ll be able to sleep at night while I do.” And then I pull the trigger, closing my eyes when warm blood sprays across my face.
