Chapter 646: Hitchhikers And Half-Truths

Just as I was about to freak out from the solitude and my own spiraling thoughts, the seal around my door sighed and it opened. I braced myself, not sure who or what to expect. And winced at the sight of Varity Rhodes. She stared at me with a blank expression, draped in her heavy Enforcer robe, jaw tight, but eyes hooded and revealing nothing.

I felt terrible for what I'd been forced to do to her, thought of Charlotte and wondered if my poor bodywere was catatonic yet.

Before I could offer the apology I owed her, Varity spoke.

"Was it you who came to me?" Her voice seemed to echo in the stillness between us and I felt the brush of Enforcer power running beneath her words. "Was it you who asked me to bring you here?"

Um, weird question. I opened my mouth to confess.

Felt a jab from a place I wasn't expecting.

Lie, Quaid sent. Lie your face off. Just do it.

Huh? Okay, confused.
