Queenie and Shawn didn't die, but it was a near thing. We tied them up and set them aside, keeping them alive on the barest minimum of food. I was going to deal with them after we got back to civilization. I was the one running the company behind the scenes, but everyone thought he owned the business. His company could never have gotten off the ground if it weren't for me.

I needed them both alive. I sat back on my heels, wiping my bloody hands on my jeans. “This…” I gestured between them “…isn’t about trust, it’s about survival.
