Alex Cross's Trial Chapter 45

By James Patterson and Richard DiLallo

Chapter 45

Ben splashes his face with cold water before sitting down to write a letter of his own.
He realizes the pen he's using was a gift from Meg on their first anniversary. Because of course it is.
Ben writes that he thinks they should talk about it face to face. He doesn't want her to leave him, and he's still in love with her; he pleads with her to think of what this will do to Alice and Amelia, begging her to reconsider.
Just as he finishes the letter, Maybelle calls out that Elizabeth is there to see him. Because of course she is.
