All the Colors of the Dark — Chapter 237

237

The telephone rang as Saint was about to climb into bed, the long day almost over.

In the bathroom she’d splashed water on her face. Blackjack would watch Tooms as he was led back to his cell. In time questions would be answered, until then Saint placed a call to Jasper and told him to head to the prison, where Tooms would retain him. Jasper had groused about the hour, sobered at the revelation, salivated at the attention it would generate. Saint did not know what the future would bring, but she did know that Marty Tooms would walk free in the coming days; whatever his wrongdoing, he had served his time. He had paid enough.

Saint listened as Himes talked.

Too tired to even summon anger because deep down she knew he was right to have put a trace on her telephone line.

She checked on Charlotte and saw her sleeping.

The girl would not forgive the betrayal.

Even if Saint brought her father back safely.
