Odie trembled as she climbed out of the cab. The evening air was warm and a little humid and the sky was clear.All the way here she’d been drowning in thoughts. Horrible thoughts. Coming at her from every direction.That last day with Sage. Sending him off to a mission that was doomed from the start, if she believed what Calan said. And her father hadn’t known. That should come as a relief. He hadn’t sent Sage to his death. But the senator had. And when her father discovered it, Luis had him killed.But how had her father learned what the senator was doing? Sage? Maybe Sage hadn’t known enough but was getting too close, and it had taken her father a year to connect the dots and add a few of his own.Oh, God. Her heart felt crushed in her chest. Sage must have known enough to threaten the senator the morning he’d left for his mission. Only Sage hadn’t realized it. Had her father talked to the senator about it? Maybe gone to him for help, knowing Dharr was buying arms? Maybe her father had grown suspicious of Luis who led him to Yemen and then arranged for Dharr to send the email and kill him.She wiped a tear that had fallen from her eye.
