The Atlas Complex (The Atlas, #3)

Tristan leaves. Libby no longer feels indebted to him, especially considering that their relationship was based on guilt. She also reflects on her lack of remorse for killing Ezra, Atlas, and Nico, as she views all of them as a means to an end. Libby grapples with her lack of remorse. After she lets Tristan go, she follows the sound of a scream to the reading room. There, she finds Callum, Parisa, Dalton, and Gideon. Callum is awake, while the others are sprawled on the floor. She punches him, and he drops the gun, which she subsequently picks up. She briefly considers killing him but hesitates when she realizes that his death won’t change anything. None of the deaths actually have. She leaves to go visit Belen at the hospital.

After Libby leaves, Callum picks the gun back up. Dalton wakes first, and Callum shoots him. When Gideon wakes as well, Callum turns the gun toward him. Parisa tells him not to shoot him. They catch up on what just happened. Then, Callum gets a text from Wyn saying that the Caines have Tristan. He tries to call Alys, but she hangs up on him. He leaves the house and hurries to the pub to find him.
