Chapter 7 - THE GHOST COMES HOME
Marcus said their father had hidden him at Lake Briar after he discovered what Black Harbor had become.
"He called it treatment," Marcus said. "It was a prison."
Arthur stepped forward. "Antonio saved your life."
"He erased it."
Dominic pointed to the brace. "Did you sabotage me?"
"No."
"The medication?"
"No."
"The crash?"
"No."
Vincent snapped, "We have your coat and ring on video."
Marcus looked at Ellie.
She peeked from behind Clare.
"Not him."
Everyone turned.
Ellie held up her finger.
"The other man's hurt finger went the other way."
Marcus slowly showed his hand.
His crooked finger bent inward.
The man on camera had used a rigid splint to copy the injury.
Dominic felt the trap opening.
Someone wanted Marcus blamed.
Marcus placed a flash drive on the floor.
"Nathan Mercer kept records after he realized Black Harbor had restarted."
Samuel whispered, "Where is Nathan?"
"Dead."
"Who killed him?"
"The same man who arranged Dominic's crash."
Dominic stepped closer. "Name him."
Marcus looked through the glass wall.
One council chair was empty.
Peter Sloan's.
A guard shouted from the foyer.
Peter's sedan was tearing down the drive.
Angela Pierce sat beside him.

Marcus looked at Dominic.
"If they reach the lake road, whatever she knows disappears with her."
