Chapter 464

• Whatever Dan Funnel was saying on the side, Joaquin Latham couldn’t hear a word. The obsession with finding the hair tie was like a poisonous seed tossed into his blood, rooting into bone and marrow, yanking his weak limbs off the ground.
• Right now Joaquin was moving on pure willpower. He forced his body up, eyes raw with sorrow, crawling toward the riverbank. Dan tried to stop him and couldn’t; he had no clue how Joaquin still had so much strength.
• Dan pressed him down, hard. “Mr. Latham, we’ll come back tomorrow, okay? You need to take care of yourself. Don’t finally find her and then pass out.”
