There was just one more thing to do
?Quick, give me the knife
?Wanda? I know you love Jamie, but I really don't think you could use itYou're not a
fighter
?Not for them, JaredThat's enough!?
?I need one like Jamie'sI don't know enough about HealingI have to see exactly what to doI
would have done it before, but I wasn't sure I'd be able to driveSomeone will notice if I don't go inside soon
Jared thought it through quicklyHe was the best, as Jeb had said, because he could see what
had to be done and do louis vuitton vienna bag it fastI heard the steely sound of the knife coming out of the sheath
?You want to do it??
He inhaled sharply
I took the ugly knifeIt had a heavy handle and was very sharp; it came to a tapered point at the

and yanked the door open with my right handJared's hand brushed my back as I half fell out the
doorIt wasn't a restraint
?I'll be right back,? I coughed out, and then I kicked the door shut behind me

out?one keeping the other from taking control of my bodyThe pain wasn't too bad?or rather, I
couldn't feel it as much anymoreI was going into shockToo many kinds of pain, too close
togetherHot liquid rolled down my fingers and dripped to the pavementI wondered if I could
move those fingers
