Chapter 81
Wolfe elects to speak with the chief of our city force as I make my way to Scarlett's cell. He doesn't say it, but I know he thinks he'll kill her if he gets too close. I'm not entirely sure I won't do the same. She betrayed me to the Outsiders, and she gave up our doctor to another Sanctuary. No amount of explaining will absolve her guilt, but I still need to understand.
I nod at a guard who unlocks the door and allows me into the room with Scarlett's cell. I spot her right away, sitting on a bed and playing with her hair, brushing her fingers through the length. She looks up, surprise creasing her expression as she recognizes me.
She pushes herself off the bed and stands, walking slowly toward the bars.
"I wondered if you would come see me."
"I wasn't going to," I admit, standing opposite her with my arms crossed over my chest.
"Why did you come then?" Her tone is resentful.
