Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Brooklyn

I jump backwards as the figure hurries past me and then down the stairs.

He's got a hoodie pulled up over his head, so I can't see who it is, but he's certainly young, and with the height and broad shoulders of a guy.

How long had this been going on?

I take a few steps into the hall, peering down the steps, but whoever it is has disappeared.

Clearly, he's not being loyal to me-not even really pretending to be.
