Panther looked from me to Stanfield before he shot him a dismayed look. “I’ll be in the car, Marvin.”

I waited until Panther was out of sight, and so did Stanfield.

“Don’t worry, I’ll deliver the message, just like you’ve asked me to, Stanfield told me. “It’s your last request, so I’ll do you a favor.”

“Thanks.”

I was dying to ask that question all along and felt grateful he started the subject himself. Although I was happy to get out of this place, I had to admit it pained me to know that I wouldn’t be able to talk to Elena
