"You look angry," Lucien said coldly. "What's wrong, Pierce? Upset you're here while your friends are out there enjoying freedom? You should give up their names. Might make the next few days easier."

"Let's try this again," Emerald said, arms folded as she stopped pacing and leaned against the wall of the cell. "Who were you waiting for?"
Pierce stared straight ahead.
