Chapter 50 Not Worth It
- Betrayal from a lover was nothing new, but this time it hurt worse than all the times Brice recalled going through it in the past. Brice shouldn’t have been surprised that Clay had been lying to him from the moment they met, but somehow the duplicity was more painful coming from his shepherd. Like the dope he was, Brice had fallen head over heels in love with Claymore Wicks, and Brice was nothing more than a little side action while Clay did a mission at HQ.
- As Clay spun around and addressed Keith, Brice found that he couldn’t even look at his ex-lover.
- “The plan Zac cooked up was almost too simple, and that is why we missed it. At first, we thought it was infiltration by The Originals, and we followed every possible lead. We narrowed it down to Nancy, and then we looked into her activities. We figured out this situation eventually because of the way Zac spoke about Nancy in the barracks. He didn’t hide his love well.” Clay glanced at Brice, but then his eyes were back on his audience. “It’s Zac. We know it. He is who Rea should question.”
