I frowned at him in confusion, but he ignored me and pushed the elevator button.

Duke and Willa were sitting in her car, waiting for us.
“Oh my God,” Willa said as she jumped out of the vehicle.
“I’m fine,” I assured her.
Duke climbed out of the driver’s side and came over to us.
“Thanks for coming,” Viper said as he shook Duke’s hand.
“Of course. We dropped Crow off at Three Kings to get your bike.”
