Keon lowered his voice, barely a whisper. “She’s the one who owns the bullet–casing necklace. The ‘Fox‘ he used to fight alongside.”

His voice dropped further. “And Veronica, holding that necklace, is the person Emyr believes to be the Fox.”

Charmaine’s eyes widened in realization. “So that’s what’s going on.”
