Chapter 87: The Shot From Shore

There were decisions that announced themselves and decisions that waited until every escape had closed.

The shot wounds Marcus and proves Victor still controls someone outside prison. Adrian reaches the ferry and pulls Claire behind cover.

Claire understood that the next choice would be remembered long after the explanation. Lucy remained the line neither of them would cross. Whatever happened between the adults, their daughter would not be asked to purchase harmony with her own safety.

Marcus gives them the sniper's name before losing consciousness: a corrupt federal agent assigned to Victor's case.

"The danger was never one man. It was everyone he purchased."

Claire felt the old instinct to protect everyone from discomfort. This time she let the truth remain in the room.

The agent is currently guarding Victor.
