"Two days ago," he answered.

"Does Damian work for you?" I pressed.

"Not exactly," he said. "He was sent to protect Carter. He doesn't know the full plan.

"Then why did he betray Carl?"

Without hesitation, Yael replied, "Because that person wanted you dead. Damian thought that handing your over to me might give you a chance to survive." "It's Amber, isn't it?"

"Yes."
