The frustration burned deep in my chest as I paced back and forth, the news my men brought me hanging heavy in the air. They had scoured the island, every inch of it, and still hadn’t found Olivia. It was the same thing Luke and the others told me.

But I refused to believe she was gone. I knew, I knew, she was still here, hidden somewhere we hadn’t thought to look. Somewhere unexpected. Somewhere like the cemetery

The team had reported that Xander had appeared there before, slipping through Luke’s men as if he had melted into the shadows, One minute, they had seen nothing.
