Mason's POV
I couldn't sleep all through the night because every time I closed my eyes, I saw Christy's face when she realized Piper was free. The pain in her eyes and the disbelief, It replayed again and again until the first light of dawn slipped through my blinds.
Did I make a mistake by freeing her? Should I just let the past go? What if the mastermind is still watching?.
I had promised myself that I would protect her, but after hearing all she had been through, it felt like I was putting her in danger instead.
The worst part was knowing the people behind her pain were still out there, walking free and living comfortably.
By noon, I was sitting in my car outside a downtown café, a laptop was open on the passenger seat, as I typed away. I wasn't planning to rest until I found something concrete.
My contact from the cyber-forensics unit had finally sent the files I had requested. I opened the encrypted folder, my eyes narrowing as I scrolled through the transaction records.
