Nexus stepped into the cabana and shot the remaining guard. He crashed to the floor and seized, death by wolfsbane bullet. In seconds, his eyes glazed over.
“I thought you were long gone, either dead or back on the mainland.” He gripped the cage bars, pulled them apart and stepped out.
“They sunk the yacht. I had to doggie paddle all the way back.”
“Did you call Rylee?”
“I was too busy swimming. I lost my phone.” She smirked. “Anyway, you can thank me for freeing you.”
“Thank you. As they say in America, I owe you one.”
“We better find a way off this island before I run out of wolfsbane bullets.”
Nik bent down and dug out a phone from the dead guy’s pocket. “Getting us a ride.” He paced. “Rylee, it’s me, Nik.”
“Where the hell have you and Emma been?”
“Long story, but I need a helicopter to these coordinates. Pronto.”
“Is Emma with you?”
“No. She is in grave danger.”
“Shit. Bad timing. We have a situation on the North Korean and Chinese border. All of our teams have been dispatched there. The best I can do is have Jesper fly to your coordinates.”
What? Jesper was the pack’s archivist and Rylee’s assistant. The albino never left the underground archives. As far as he knew, he’d never gone on combat missions. “You mean Jesper can fly?”
“Yes. He’s a pilot, our backup when our pilots are out. Trust me, he’s not bad. The team jet is equipped with the best technology.”
Nexus tilted her head and obviously heard the conversation with her wolfish hearing. “Cool.”
“Nik, who is that?”
“Nexus, a brilliant asset.”
“What?”
“Sorry, complicated.”
“Just make sure she has no memory of meeting werewolves.”
Rather than disagreeing, he nodded. “Of, course, ma’am.” No time to explain she happened to be one.
“Stay put. I’ll send the coordinates to Jesper.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Bring Emma back in one piece or it’s your ass.”
“I agree.”
“That means keeping Jesper alive, too. He is not combat trained.”
“He will not encounter any danger. It will be as though he is landing at a beach resort.”
“Good, you know what to do.”
Nik pocketed the phone. Nexus better have a strong stomach for what they had to do.
