Suspicion
“I reach up and touch my necklace, making sure it‘s still there. It is, but the chain must have weakened, because the necklace breaks in my hand, and the charm falls onto the pavement.
Aiden leaps for it, picking it up and handing it to me wordlessly.
―Thanks.‖ I wrap my hand around the white stone, the weight of it instantly calming me down and making me feel better.
―How did those guys know your name?‖ Cam asks Hadley again. His tone is accusing, and I squeeze his shoulder, trying to send him ...a signal that he shouldn‘t push it too far. Those guys were after my necklace, and if Hadley had something to do with it, the last thing we want to do is tip her off. Or worse, agitate her.
―I don‘t know,‖ she says. She looks shaken. Her face is pale, and her eyes are wide.
―Should we call the police?‖ ―The police?‖ Cam asks. He and Aiden exchange a nervous glance.
―Nah,‖ Aiden says. He laughs and shoves his hands in his pockets. ―Those assholes just wanted Natalia‘s necklace.‖ He rolls his eyes.MoreLess
