Vanessa
Vanessa shook the gun and banged it against her palm. “It’s empty.”
Rylie furrowed her brows, “They’re not supposed to be empty. Ever.”
“If it’s empty, I can’t shoot it, and if I can’t shoot it, I can’t do what they want.”
“I don’t know V something doesn’t sit right with me.”
“It doesn’t for me either, but I wonder if they’re aware of the fact they gave me an empty gun.”
Rylie nibbled her bottom lip, “I don’t know…if they want you to kill Malik, why give you a gun that makes the task impossible?”
“Do you know where they are?”
Rylie sighed and nodded, “I do, but if we go there, we’re taking Byron back with us.”
