Kelly sucked in a deep, hard breath. “Knew…it,” she gasped.
Screw her. Jana pressed a fast kiss to his cold lips. Zane. “We’ll get the bullet out, and you’ll be fine. You hear me?”
“Get away from me.”
She blinked at him.
“Get. Away.” His hands came between them. He tried to shove her back.
But the cuffs weren’t letting her go anywhere.
“Where’s the key?” she asked, but the only answer she got was the roar that burst from his lips. A roar that shook her and shattered the night.
Then the green bled totally from his eyes, leaving only the black, and Jana knew she was in trouble.
“What did you shoot him with?” The shouted words came from Tony. “What did you use?”
Jana couldn’t look away from Zane. Not from that darkness.
“M-my brother…made something sp-special for the demons.” Kelly’s voice was ragged, so strained, but satisfied. “It’ll rip his mind apart.”
Drugs. Zane’s father had been lost to the drugs. He’d killed Zane’s mother because of his addiction. Zane hated the drugs. He’d hate this.
Her left hand—the uncuffed hand—lifted and feathered over his cheek. “I’m sorry. Just hold on.” They’d weathered a storm like this before. They could get through it again.
A trickle of blood slipped from his nose. He smiled at her. Not Zane’s smile. Too cold. Too cruel.
Not like Zane.
“Where’s the key?” she whispered again.
“Not…leaving…”
“He doesn’t have the k-key!” Kelly yelled. Jana forced her stare to find the bleeding agent. Tony had a death-grip on Kelly’s arm, and he was trying to cuff her. “I stole it from his car while you were in-inside. H-hid it—you’ll never find it!”
Okay, the agent was getting on her last nerve. Feeling sorry for a woman could only last so long.
Kelly smiled at her. No, more of a baring of her teeth. “He’s going to…kill you.”
Zane’s breath blew over Jana’s neck. A shiver skated down her spine. Then his mouth pressed against her skin, and the edge of his teeth bit into her neck.
“Tear her f-fucking throat open!” Kelly screamed.
“Shut the fuck up!” Tony roared back at her.
The bite became painful. Not a lover’s nip. More. Her hands flattened on his chest. “You’re going to be okay, Zane.”
“Rip her—” Kelly’s words ended in a gurgle. Jana was still staring at her, and she saw the agent’s eyes roll back into her head. Kelly slammed forward, breaking free of Tony’s grasp and ramming her head into the cement. She didn’t get up.
Zane.
He licked Jana’s neck. His head lifted, and he stared at her. Then he tore her shirt open. With just a thought.
“Shit!” Tony’s feet pounded toward them. “Man, what are you doing? You can’t?—”
Tony jolted to a stop, then he flew forward. His body slammed into the thick concrete wall. Like a puppet on a string.
Not Zane. Not her Zane. This wasn’t him. “No!” Her scream echoed in that cold night. “Zane, stop!”
