He looked back for a brief second, his eyes no longer filled with that darkness I saw before. “We killed them,” he stated simply. “We had to.”
A cold chill ran down my spine, and I straightened in my seat suddenly. I felt panicked and scared and—
“Are we going to get into trouble?” I wondered, my voice small, my words quick. “We have to call the cops, don’t we? Are you going away—”
“We’re taking care of it,” he cut in softly. “No one will ever know.”
“How do you know?”
“Just…trust me.”
My stomach twisted, and I shut my eyes, breathing through my nose because I did not want to vomit, or tremble, or go frozen again. I tried to calm down, even though my heart was about to burst out of my chest.
“How did you overpower them?” I eventually asked.
“I took the big guy down,” he replied casually. “Once the big guy is down, the rest are nothing.”
“But the guns—”
“Just goons that didn’t know how to use them in the heat of the moment. I’ve seen it before—too many times. If they were truly dangerous, they’d have let us know about it.”
He’d seen it before.
Too many times.
My eyes bulged as I gaped at him again, and for the second time in the span of six hours, I felt…God, I felt terrified of him. Which was insane. This was Hunter.MyHunter. But I didn’t know with certainty until now that my Hunter was living a double life.
I would have known if he was a Warlord, I reasoned with myself. I was not trying to be so ignorant.
Someone would have told me.
Word would have spread around town.
Hunter, the bad boy, infamous for his violence; he would not have been able to hide being part of that club, no way.
Unless…
I looked away, pondering.
Unless they hadn’t publicly initiated him.
He could have been a private member. A secret. A hidden pawn they used. He said he had tracked me in the woods. He had known to follow my trail in the dead of night. Hunter had possessed skills, and he had experienced that sort of violence before.
Feeling faint, I rested my head against the window and stared out at the road as it zipped past.
Under the summer sun, I’d never felt so cold.
