night?”
    “Clive,” I choked out. “Why is Logan with you?”
    “I wanted to get to know more about you,” he replied. “How better than to spend some quality time with your bestie?”
    The phone was suddenly plucked from my hand.
    “I believe I’m the one you’re looking for, mate,” Devon said, switching the phone to speaker-mode.
    “Well, look who’s come back to town!” Clive crowed. “You see, Ivy, I told you he’d come back for you. So predictable, aren’t you, Clay?”
    “If I was predictable, you would’ve found me by now,” Devon retorted. “What do you want with Logan? I’m the one you’re after.”
    “Yes, but it’s been so much fun, tormenting your sweet Ivy, I decided to up the ante, so to speak.”
    “What are you talking about?”
    “You always think you’re so clever,” Clive said. “Saint Devon, who can do no wrong. But your cleverness didn’t help my Anna, did it? Instead, you saved your girl and let my wife die.” Bitter accusation rang in his voice now. “Ivy should be dead. Not Anna.”
    “Clive, that’s not what happened—”
    “I don’t care what you think happened,” Clive cut him off. “Anna’s dead and she’s not coming back. Someone has to pay for that. I’ve decided it’s you, Clay.”
    “Where’s Logan?” Devon asked, apparently deciding it wasn’t worth arguing with Clive any longer.
    “He’s someplace quite pure, and most likely will be there for an eternity, God rest his soul.”
    I gasped, covering my mouth with my hand.
    “Can you be more specific?” Devon bit out.
    “I’m afraid not. I’ll give him back his phone, though, so he can be sure to say his final words. Ivy, dear, do be kind to him. You may be fucking Clay, but Logan’s quite in love with you. Make his last moments on this earth mean something. See you around . . . Ivy.”
    My pulse was pounding, the bitter taste of fear in my mouth. I heard a scraping sound, like concrete against concrete, then silence.
    “Logan?” I asked.
    “Ives . . .” His voice echoed and I could tell the phone was on speaker-mode there, too.
    “Logan, where are you?”
    “I don’t know,” he said. “There’s a blindfold. I-I think I’m in a coffin or something.”
    “Oh God,” I breathed. “Can you get out?”
    “My arms . . . they’re tied with zip ties,” he said. “I can’t really move. He just tossed the phone in here and then I heard him shut the lid.”
    Devon was already up and out of the bed, yanking on his clothes.I hurried to copy him. All I could think about was that Logan was somewhere enclosed, which meant he’d die of asphyxiation.
    “Tell me everything you remember,” Devon ordered. He was holstering his gun as I slipped on my shoes.
    “I was heading home,” Logan said. “This car pulled up next to me. I glanced over and the passenger window was down. Next thing I know, I’m out cold and waking up bound, blindfolded, and in this thing.”
    “Can you hear any sounds?” Devon asked, grabbing the phone and my hand before heading out the door.
    “Not now. It . . . it’s really quiet.”
    I could hear the fear in Logan’s voice. He was keeping it controlled, but underneath the calm I could feel his panic lurking.
    “Did you hear anything before?”
    “I don’t—wait, yeah, there was something, but . . .” He hesitated.
    “What?” Devon prompted.
    “It’s weird, but I thought I heard . . . singing.”
    Devon was pulling open the car door, but paused just briefly, his face creasing in a frown.
    “What kind of singing?”
    “Like . . . lots of people. Nice music. But it was faint and far away.”
    “I need you to get your arms free,” Devon said, starting the car. He stomped on the gas and the car shot down the street.
    “I can’t. They’re zip tied. I told you that.”
    “If we can’t find you, you’ll run out of air in about an hour. It’s already been almost ten minutes. Are your arms in front of you?”
    “Yes.”
    “Then turn
