can do that.” He said.

“You don’t contact Victor.” I said.

“I won’t.” He said.

“You don’t contact the Black Reapers.” I said.

“I have no reason to.” He said.

“And if you lie to me?” I asked and Damien looked directly at me.

“You will find me.” Damien said.

“Yes.” I said and he nodded.

“Then we have a deal.” He said.

My phone rang and it was Sarah so I answered.

“Sarah.” I said.

“I heard from one of my officers.” She said.

“What about?” I asked.

“The old quarry.” She said and I looked at Damien.

“What about it?” I asked.

“We have reason to believe Victor has used the property.” She said and my eyes narrowed.

“How long have you known?” I asked.

“Not long.” She said.

“Who told you?” I asked.

“I can’t discuss sources.” She said and I closed my eyes.

Of course.

“What can you confirm?” I asked.

“Victor has been seen near the quarry.” She said.

“Recently?” I asked.

“Yes.” She said.

CHAPTER 238 3

“Can you confirm a bunker?” I asked and there was a pause.

“Yes.” She said and I looked toward Ethan as Sarah continued.

“There is an old maintenance structure beneath the eastern section.” She added.

Damien was telling the truth. At least about that.

“What else?” I asked.

“Several older records connect the property to companies that were dissolved years ago.” She

said and my attention sharpened.

“Which companies?” I asked.

“Ridgeway is one.” She said and I looked at Ethan.

“Anything else?” I asked.

“Blackstone appears in the records too.” She said and the silence between us felt heavier.

Sarah had independently confirmed the location.

That made Damien more credible. It also made Sarah’s involvement more complicated.

“Thanks.” I said.

“Jace.” She said.

“What?” I asked.

“Don’t go there without backup.” She said and I almost laughed.

“That’s exactly what I was planning.” I said and she paused.

“Be careful.” She said.

The call ended and I looked at Damien.

“You were telling the truth.” I said.

“I told you I was.” Damien said.

“That doesn’t mean I trust you.” I said.

“I never expected you to.” He said and I turned toward Derek.

“Get everyone ready.” I said and he nodded.

“We’re hitting the quarry.” He said and Ethan pulled out his phone.

“I will send the location to the others.” Ethan said as I looked at Damien.

“You stay here.” I said and he frowned.

“You promised me safe passage.” Damien said.

“And you’re getting it.” I said.

“Then why keep me here?” Damien asked.

“Because I don’t trust you enough to let you disappear before we confirm Victor is there.” I said and Damien sighed.

“I suppose that’s fair.” Damien said.

We returned to the clubhouse before midnight and Paige was waiting in the main room.

The moment she saw me, she walked toward me.

“You found him.” She said.

“Not Victor.” I said and her expression fell.

“Then what?” She asked.

“Damien.” I said and she stared at me.

“He contacted you?” She asked and I nodded.

“He gave us Victor’s final hideout.” I said.

“And you believe him?” She asked.

“I believe enough of what he said to investigate.” I said.

I explained the quarry, the bunker, the records, and Sarah’s independent confirmation while Paige listened carefully.

When I finished, she looked toward the armed members preparing in the hallway.

“This is it.” She said.

“I think so.” I said and she nodded.

“You’re going.” She said.

“Yes.” I said and she reached for my hand.

“I know I can’t stop you.” She said.

“No.” I said.
