I know this.

I would love to let Erin Allison watch her company burn to the ground. I would love for her to see that the world doesn’t want anything to do with Lucky or Providential or any of her products. To me, that would be perfect.

But then I think of Reece.

And I think of what she did to him.

And I realize that there is no way in hell or heaven that we can allow her to walk free from this.

Sure enough, I hear a helicopter in the distance, and I know that our time is up.

“Top of the building,” I say, motioning for Cameron to shift. “We need to stop the bitch once and for all.”

“As you wish, Captain,” he says.

Cameron shifts and I climb on his back. We fly up quickly to the top of the building and as soon as we’re there, we spot Erin. She’s on her phone, obviously trying to salvage what she can of her company. When we reach the top of the building, she spots us and she turns, glaring at us.

“I thought I killed you,” she screams at me.

“Fuck you,” I say.

It’s the stupidest damn thing to say to a supervillain, but I don’t even care.

A big fuck you feels really, really good to scream in her face, and so I do.

She raises up her dart gun and I realize she’s going to try to shoot Cameron. Not today, Satan. That’s so not happening. She moves her finger and is about to pull the trigger when I scream, “Now!”

And Cameron opens his mouth and releases his inner-flame.

And he ends it.

Once and for all.

Chapter Fifteen

Reece

It’s the middle of the night and I hear footsteps in the hall.

Sabrina hears them, too, and she sits up in bed.

“It’s him,” she says, shoving the blankets off. She jumps to the floor and runs into the hallway. “It’s him!” She screams this time. I hear her kissing Wilson, and I get out of bed, too. I go to the hallway and see him standing there, and I realize that things didn’t go as planned. He’s safe, and he’s in one piece, but the attack on Providential didn’t exactly happen the way he wanted it to.

“You’re back,” I say.

“I am.”

“Are you okay?”

He looks up at us and shakes his head.

“What happened?” Sabrina asks, cupping his cheek.

“Everything,” he says.

Then he sits down in the center of the hallway and he drops his head into his hands. Wilson tells us exactly what happened when he left our home. He talks about the flight, the fires, and Erin. He tells us about getting shot and how he almost let her go. He tells us about everything, and then he looks up at us, and Wilson starts to cry.
