I nod.
As they jog up to me, I toss the girl. She drops unceremoniously to her feet.
Turning swiftly, she runs behind the guards. “Oh thank God. You’re here.” She pokes her head out and glares at me.
I scowl.
“Sir?” The first guard gives me an inquiring look.
I rub the gauze on my head. Squinting into the distance, I calmly order, “Bring her to the playroom.”
“Yes, sir.”
“I’m not going anywhere with—” Her words break off as the guards grab either arm and drag her around the side of the building. “Let me go! This is kidnapping!”
The keening wail in my head starts up again.
I massage my temple and turn around. “Guys?”
The guards stop. Both watch me intently. “Sir?”
“Shut her up.”
“What?” Her eyes widen. “Get that rag away from me. Who the hell do you…?” Her protests drip off to muffled grunts as they gag her.
I inhale deeply as silence overtakes the lawn again.
Ah, much better.
With a hand in my pocket and a smirk on my lips, I saunter to the playroom.

SHANEL
The guards take me into a service elevator at the back of the building while Hawk enters through B4’s private elevator inside the school.
As we head up, I eye the bodyguards warily.
They didn’t tie my hands and feet.
Big mistake. I can defend myself if I see the opportunity.
Should I try to fight?
The elevator doors open. They grab me roughly and haul me out. I stumble to the room where B4 spends their breaks between classes and hold my peace. The last thing I want is to hurt these guys for doing their job.
It’s not their fault that Hawk is a grade-A bastard.
The guards thrust me into a fancy chair and hang back, waiting for further instructions.
Hawk walks into the room.
Scratch that.
The guy prowls forward.
I feel every step.
