Carrigan
Kaitlyn had found Royce where the fight began, still breathing but knocked unconscious with bruising starting to form on his face. I suspected Princeton either punched him or maybe used the gun to knock him out. I was grateful he was even in Maine. Princeton could have killed him after he was out, but he hadn’t. I wondered if it was because I had disappeared or if my kidnapper had planned to kill Royce while I watched.
I tried not to think about it.
The ambulance and Nico’s people—which were FBI agents Nico had gone to college with and stayed in touch—showed up quickly, which was honestly a relief. Princeton may have most likely paid off the cops in town, but I hadn’t expected Nico’s people to be the FBI.
