None of this was good. She had been fine, her life was on track. She had a stable job, she was happy god damn it. Mallory barely let herself think about that time in her life, it taught her a lot but she didnāt focus on it. Not when she had things to focus on for the future. Sheād been so upset when her old leader called her, now there was barely any of that left, only anger. Mallory wrenched her arm from his touch, like it burned her.Ā āI donāt know that! I donāt fucking know anything other than the fact that I found my boyfriend dead! Then I get a call from Max and he finally tells me the truth.. why the fuck did you kill him? Why couldnāt you let me be fucking happy?!ā
Malachi froze for a moment hearing her say that she got a call from Max-- that he was the one who told her. It made sense-- Malachi had snitched, almost fucked everything up for them. It made sense.Ā āAre you listening to yourself? I killed Jordan? Youāre going to believe Max over me? You believed--- you even think Iād kill him? Listen to what youāre saying,ā he hissed at her, offended sheād even buy into it in the first place.
