FROM THE WAY Lucas white-knuckled the steering wheel the whole drive back, it was easy to assume he was pissed. He didn’t like my plan. It was too dangerous and I’d be with “that asshole.” The problem was that I didn’t see any other way around it. Those brujos held my one clue. The only thing that could save my brother.
So, I had to do this. Pretend to go along with whatever Matt said so that he’d take me where I needed to go.
Still, Lucas’ reaction was freaking me out. It was like I was missing something. It took me a bit, but I finally worked up the courage to ask. “Why are you so upset? You don’t even know me. Not really.”
“That’s not true. You told me all about your life. I think I know a lot about you, especially now.”
No. I wasn’t buying that. He was upset. And then all the touch
