Guilt floods me momentarily and it surprises me. I didn’t think I would feel anything until all of this is over. It’s easy to compartmentalize my feelings and to push them aside when dark things need doing. I’ve been doing it my whole life. Now is no different. The only thing that’s changed is now I have Ruby to bring me back from the brink. Dragging the moaning, hobbling, soon-to-be-corpse of Scott along the corridor, I gesture to David to open the door that leads downstairs to the casino.
