"What did you say? Miss Rue will be waiting for us?" I asked him. He nodded steadily, almost carefully, as if afraid of what I might say.
"She is the one who asked me to go look for you," he replied, still holding his hands under my elbows.
"Ian, Miss Rue shot me."
The moment I said that, he straightened his back against the wall, his eyebrows pulling together and his eyes narrowing at me.
"Clementine, what are you talking about?" he asked, looking confused.
That was when I started to explain everything to him, how she had brought me here to show me the fence in advance.
I told him about the task and how she slipped a fake key into my pocket to mislead me.
She told me I would be killed if I boarded the train. But once I arrived at the fence, she asked for the watch, and once she got it, she shot me.
I also told him how I had to pull the bullet out before it caused so much damage that I would not have survived.
He was completely shocked.
