The Complete Burn For Burn Trilogy: Burn For Burn; Fire With Fire; Ashes To Ashes - Plot & Excerpts
MARY is quiet again. She hasn’t said a word since I finally managed to get her into my car. She just cries every few minutes. I sit next to her and pick broken glass out from the sole of my boot. Around midnight I get a text. It’s Lillia. Where are you? I text back that we’re at my boat and for her to get over here ASAP. I have no idea what to do with Mary. Is she having a breakdown? Should I take her to a hospital or something? She’s not hurt or cut anywhere, but the look in her eyes, it scares me. Twenty minutes later Lillia comes running down the dock. She’s breathless. I stand up. “How is he?” Lillia bursts into tears. “He’s in the ICU.” She sits down and hugs her knees. Her hair is falling out of its bun. “How did everything get so messed up?” I look away. “It was my fault. I thought we took out enough votes.” Mary wipes her nose on her arm. Tonelessly she says, “I gave the drugs to Reeve. I’m the one who took homecoming away from Rennie. I’m right at the center of everything.”
