Chapter 121: The Utter Wrongness

Claire is on the verge of tears as she runs out of the doors. Blood pounds in her ears, and she almost didn't hear Dean when he asked, "Where to, Miss Claire?"

"What?"

"Where would you like to go?"

"I need to see Gab," she says. This couldn't wait. This couldn't be simply relayed on the phone. It needs to be said up close and personal.

If Dean had questions, he didn't say it. He just focused on the road and calmly, if not speedily, tried to reach Gabriel Tan's building, which is a few blocks away.

Claire replays everything in her mind, and somehow, despite all the red flags about Miguel, she couldn't believe it. Miguel knew what she had gone through with Jake Magno. He knew and he empathized. So why would he even do that? Is he insane?
