Chapter 56

• Derek's POV
• We then discussed where Hugh might be hiding. We decided that the entrance to the forest was the only place he could hide. After nightfall, Gerald and Kent drove to the forest to kill the "rogue couple" who had poisoned Erika and at the same time attract Hugh's attention. Thirty minutes later, Steven and I drove out into the woods to catch Hugh.
• Getting into the car and sitting in the back, I vaguely felt Erika's presence. But she wasn't there.
