Lindsay was thankful Lance took the truck to be cleaned out before dropping it in front of the apartment. The thought of Jace’s blood still on the seats nauseated her. She frowned as she twisted the ring on her finger, wondering and worrying where he was.
Jace came in the night before and didn’t disturb her as she asked. Marnie went to school to get her weekly work and heard about Cam getting attacked. Lindsay confronted Jace and he refused to give her any details. According to Marnie; Cameron had to be hospitalized.
Lance came from Hooligan’s after he saw Everett to his apartment and discovered Cameron was just treated and released with stitches. Lindsay swallowed hard, unable to imagine his rage.
She was anxious for him to get back from wherever he went. Her eyes filled with anger. Jace was keeping things from her. He claimed he came back to check on them and make things right. It appeared revenge played a greater role than she thought. Her expression softened.
Lindsay could only imagine the terror he experienced at Cameron’s hands. Every time she pictured his agony the day he died; she felt sick. Those images of savagery overwhelmed her. She was unable to think of it anymore. How could she blame him for wanting to kill Cameron now? A day hadn’t passed since he died that she didn’t feel the same.
“Hey, Lindsay, do you have to work tomorrow?” Lance asked as he poked his head in her room. “I was hoping you could take Marnie into Helena to her doctor’s appointment. I promised Mom and Jack I would go with Dougie to his final hearing for him to get off probation. They think it’ll help.”
Lindsay was startled to feel the instant resentment. She bit back a refusal. She had agreed to let it go, but it was tough. “Sure, I’m off until Tuesday. Isn’t this where they stick her with a needle? Will she be ok with me going instead of you?”
“She asked me to ask you.”
Lindsay looked surprised. “Oh, alright; I just thought she would feel more comfortable with you there.”
Her brother rolled his eyes. “It’s a girl thing, sis.”
He disappeared out of her doorway and she frowned. Taking Marnie to the doctor was the last thing she wanted to do tomorrow but her shooting practice would have to wait.
