Chapter 40 The Watcher

• Marcus's POV
• The diner across from Riley's motel building served coffee that could strip paint and eggs that bounced, but it had excellent sight lines and terrible lighting. Perfect for surveillance.
• I'd been watching Riley for three days now, ever since Lily's surgery. Watching her struggle to find work, watching her count quarters for the parking meter, watching her put on a brave face for her daughter while falling apart the moment she thought no one was looking.
