Seeing Sierra like that, Johnathan started to panic, and at the same time felt a wave of frustration.

This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. He reached out to grab Sierra. “Let’s go home and talk.”

But Sierra avoided his hand and took

Johnathan was about to get angry, but Sierra’s mocking cut in:

“Don’t worry, I won’t lie to you.

I won’t lie to you. You’ve got a tracker on me anyway. You can find me anytime.”
