“I know that, but she can at least pass for one of them. And right now I think that’s a good thing. That’ll keep her alive.”

Tears swam in Harper’s eyes, and she wiped at them roughly with the palm of her hand. She turned back toward the water.

“Hello?” Alex shouted from back in the cabin. “Gemma? Is anybody here?” He stumbled out the door.

“Are you okay?” Daniel asked Harper, looking at her seriously. “Will you be fine if I leave you alone for a second to check on Alex?”

“Yeah, I’ll be fine.” She nodded. When he got up, she turned back to him. “Hurry and get him on the boat. The sooner we leave, the sooner we can figure out how to destroy those bitches.”

Daniel smiled wanly at her and nodded. He walked back up the trail to take care of Alex, but Harper stayed where she was, watching the water. She heard Daniel talking to Alex, checking to make sure he was okay, and Alex trying to make sense of what he remembered.

But Harper wasn’t really paying attention to any of that. She was focused on making a plan. She would get her sister back, if that was the last thing she ever did.
