Reckoning (The Watchers book 5)
“Freya snapped her hood back into place. “I must go. I’ve already wasted enough time. The courier will arrive within the hour. He will bring you to Melkøya. But first”—she shooed toward the houseful of dead Nazis—“you will clean up your mess.”
The moment she and Lilac vanished into the night, I turned to Carden. “We’re still going to save my mom, right? You were just placating her to keep me with you?”
He sighed, and it was a horrible, weary sound, like he was under siege from me or something. “...Saving Birgit isn’t out of the question,” he hedged.
I opened my mouth to pick that statement apart, but he stopped me. “Don’t say it. I’m doing the best I can for you.”

There was a horrible pause that told me more than any words ever could. Finally, he asked, “Don’t we have other concerns at the moment?”
I only shrugged.MoreLess
