Chapter 43

“I'll be right behind you.” Megan said to him as he walked towards the door, but Steve shook his head and refused.

“Don't! I already have an idea of how the whole thing will pan out and I don't want you there.” He said to her firmly, and she nodded as he calmly opened the door and without questions, followed the guards who had come to pick him, while Megan watched as he was being taken away.

As they left, Megan sighed and went back into the house. She dropped herself on the sofa in frustration and worry as she stared into thin air, that she didn't notice that Veronica had come out of the room.

“What do you think is going to happen to him?” Megan whispered beside her, startling her and she jerked back to reality.

“I scared you, didn't I?” Veronica asked.

“Uh, yeah.” Megan answered softly and Veronica sighed.

“I'm sorry.” Veronica said. “How do you feel?” She asked her.

“Honestly, I don't know how I feel. I'm just kind of scared and frustrated.” She confessed and Veronica sighed again.
