I don’t take his hand. Instead, I stumble to my feet on my own, veering toward a panic attack. “I can’t go anywhere right now. I need to take care of my brother and sister and that damn broken window. And I don’t even know you. For all I know, you could be working for the enemy or whatever.”
This can’t be true.
It can’t.
I’m normal.
This is all a dream.
You know that’s not true.
He gives me a tolerable look. “If you want to save Zoe, you need to get your head out your ass and accept reality. If you don’t, there’s a good chance Zoe will die.”
Having thought I lost her once, I want to save Zoe. Yet I don’t want to go anywhere alone with a total stranger. That’s what started this crazy mess to begin with.
“I don’t feel comfortable going anywhere with you when I don’t even know you.”
His lips twitch as he searches my eyes. “Don’t worry; this person you need to talk to is coming here.” He offers me his hand again.
Sighing, I put my hand in his. “Who are they?”
“My boss.” He pulls me along. “And yours, if you agree to help us.”
I don’t know what to say, what to believe. So, I do the only thing I can do. I let him lead me out of the room and toward the living room, trying to ignore the impending dread filling my body as thunder and lightning take over the sky. But it’s all I can think about.
Well, that is, until I step into the living room and see …
“Dad?” I blink and blink again. No matter how many times I try to see past what I think is a hallucination, my dad remains standing in the living room, alive and fully breathing.
That’s when I realize my life has been nothing but a lie.
That nothing is what it seems.
And that Zane might just be telling the truth about everything.
