Felix suddenly turns on him and points his gun at Jason’s face. “You’d better get out of here now. In fact, get off this goddamn campus.”
“What?” Jason’s eyes widen. “But I’m a Skull & Serpent member.”
Alistair marches up to him and tears the emblem straight off his shirt, leaving him with an exposed nipple. “No, you’re not.”
Jason shakes his head. “Please …”
“I believe my sister … and if she says you didn’t help her, you’re dead to me,” Felix growls. “Now get out of here.”
Jason starts walking backward and then turns around and runs off like a coward with his tail between his legs. Which is probably a good thing, or I would’ve stolen Felix’s gun and shot him in the knees.
“Glad we got rid of that one,” Dylan mutters.
Penelope frowns at him.
“What?” Dylan shrugs. “I don’t like him, and I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking.”
I sigh out loud. “Whatever. Can we stop this? I’m really tired of fighting. Today’s been a lot.”
Penelope looks around the house. “We left a lot of holes …”
“Yeah,” Kai says. “You gonna fork up the funds to fix it?”
Dylan makes a wide-eyed weird-looking face. “Well, I think it’s about time I leave.”
When he tries to run off, Alistair grabs him by the collar and stops him. “Nope. You’re staying.”
“But this shit is uncomfortable as fuck!” Dylan complains.
“Yeah, so that’s why this is the moment when you pay them off,” Alistair hints, throwing glances.
“We don’t owe them shit. They’re lucky they get to keep their fucking fingers after touching my sister,” Felix growls.
“Felix,” I mutter. “Please. Can you just … go back to the Skull & Serpent Society? Pretend Jason never told you anything?”
“No,” he answers, but he still comes closer and cups my face. “Come home with me.”
I smile and lean into his hand. “I can’t.”
“Because they won’t let you?”
“Because I want to stay here,” I add, tears welling up in my eyes, but I push them away.
He looks up at Kai. “You’d better fucking keep her safe. If she’s harmed in any way, I’ll fucking gut you in your sleep. You understand?”
“Thank you for coming. But I’m okay. Please, guys … go home,” I say. “We’ll talk later, okay?”
Dylan and Alistair nod, but it takes Felix physical convincing as they have to drag him away from me.
“We’ll send the bill for the house,” Nathan yells from behind me.
“I’ll shred it along with your finger,” Felix growls back.
Nathan sticks up his middle finger. “Fuck you, I’m fucking your sister!”
Felix wrings free from Dylan’s and Alistair’s grip, but Penelope’s strong gaze keeps him grounded. “C’mon. Let’s go home. We’ll figure this out later.”
Felix gestures at Nathan, Kai, and Milo, pointing his fingers at his eyes first before he points at them. And then they all leave the building, like a rescinding flood leaving chaos in its wake.
