His eyes filled with horror as he flailed his arms and legs. “Put me down!”
“Yes! So happy you suggested it.”
We tossed him up toward the stars, delighted when we released him, and he began to fall. His screams were sweet music as he hurtled toward the street below. But his body hitting the ground? Magnificent carnage.
He went splat.
We both giggled.
Blair turned to us with uncertain eyes. “Are you okay?”
“Yes. We protect Balen.”
She nodded. “I understand. You came out when he lost his mother, didn’t you?”
“We did.”
“Then I’m thankful for you. You kept him safe for me.”
Our chest puffed with pride.
But the danger wasn’t over.
Bells joined us on the roof. “You just couldn’t leave it alone, could you, Blair?”
She turned to her friend, holding up her hands, when she saw the gun. “It doesn’t have to be this way, Bells.”
“It does,” she contradicted, firing at our shadows.
It didn’t hurt them.
“You will toss the gun and allow the cops to arrest you,” we ordered.
She snorted. “The hell I will.”
“Last chance,” we warned.
“Go to hell.” Bells aimed at Blair and pulled back on the trigger. We surrounded our precious woman with shadows until the danger passed.
Rage filled us as we picked Bells up, letting her dangle over the edge of the roof.
“We want to drop her.”
Blair shook her head. “No. She doesn’t deserve a merciful death. I want her to rot in prison.”
We were confused. “Prison?”
“Roderick, Bells, and Mateo were funneling drug money out of the U.S. and using it to fund terrorist organizations. Luis Diego was their biggest supplier. They were going to bomb Las Vegas. I didn’t realize the extent of the operation until they brought me here.”
Our rage increased. “She must die.”
“Not by our hand,” Blair disagreed. “Put her down on the roof.”
So boring.
We dropped her. Roughly.
Bells cried out when her knee hit the concrete, and something cracked. Oops.
