“Kilter. End it. We need out. Now!” Quill ran at me, grabbed my arm and pulled me off the wheezing husband. “We have two minutes before this place blows.”
I yanked my arm from his grip, bent, and threw another punch so hard my knuckles cracked as they hit his skull.
“Stop. He’ll be dead soon enough.” Quill shoved me in the chest. I shoved him back then took a step toward her husband again.
“I want to see this bastard die.”
I heard the choked sob behind me and looked over my shoulder. The girl’s eyes were wide and horrified as she stared at her husband. His face was unrecognizable, eyes swollen shut, nose off to the side, teeth missing and blood everywhere.
I glared at her. “Don’t tell me you give a shit about him?”
Her gaze darted from her husband to me. Then she stepped back, head shaking side to side. It took me four strides to reach her.
“Kilter,” Quill warned.
I ignored him, grabbed her hand, yanked a knife from the sheath attached to my thigh, and slapped the hilt into her palm. “Finish him.”
Her breath hitched as her eyes darted to her husband then back to me. “I… I can’t.”
I grunted. “He deserves to die.”
“Yes,” she whispered.
“And you should be the one to do it for whatever the fuck he’s done to you.”
She swallowed, eyes shifting to her husband who was currently moaning while he rolled around on the ground.
She didn’t move.
Fuck it. Fine. She didn’t have the stomach for killing, I did.
I snatched the knife from her hand and strode over to her husband, straddling him. Then in one fluid motion, stabbed the dagger into his stomach.
A gurgled sound escaped his throat and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. “You won’t die for a few minutes yet. But you will die. It’s a fatal wound.” I lowered my voice and leaned closer. “Enjoy the pain.”
“Let’s get out of here, man,” Quill said.
I wiped the blood from my dagger on my khaki cargo pants then put it back in the sheath before I stalked to the girl, grabbed her hand, and then hauled ass to the wall.
