“None of this is your fault,” Shane tells me.
“If it’s anyone’s fault, it’s Killian’s. He should have known better,” the other guy murmurs.
My heart sinks.
Do they know that I know more than I should?
Killian’s words from before echo in my head.
If you tell one person, you’re putting them at risk. You tell three people, you’re putting yourself at risk.
I guess since he just told me, I’m the one getting drugged and dragged out of my bed in the middle of the night.
“Does Killian know about this?” I ask uncertainly.
“No.”
The guy I don’t know doesn’t elaborate, and while initially I felt less at risk once I realized who had taken me, I’m wondering if I should.
I didn’t feel like I was at risk walking down the basement stairs at the Rho Kappa house either, but I was.
I didn’t feel like I was at risk tangled up in Killian’s arms last night, but it turns out I was kissing and snuggling a remorseless killer.
And he didn’t act alone.
I know Hex was with him, but there were two other guys, too, and I don’t know who they were.
Maybe I think I’m a little safer with the devils I know, but…
Maybe I’m not.
Chapter Twenty-five
Brynn
The car slows to a stop, and I hear the engine turn off.
I guess we’re here.
Wherever here is.
The front door opens and closes first, and then our door opens.
I haven’t heard from the tall one in the leather gloves since I got in the car, but he speaks now, so he must have been driving.
“Is the machine ready?” he asks, climbing into the back of the car.
Shane speaks up, and I could hug him. “I really don’t think she needs to be drugged. She’s being perfectly cooperative, and she knows Hex is an asshole. If she rips off the blindfold and tries anything stupid, she knows she’s gonna pay for it—and she won’t like the price.”
I know that last bit is as much for me as them, but they don’t need to worry. I have no interest in making trouble, I just want to tell them whatever they need to hear so I can go home.
“All right,” the guy says. “Do you want to be the one to tell Hex you didn’t like his plan and you decided to do things your way instead?”
I take it by the brief pause Shane does not want to do that, but the other Blue Blood I haven’t met before tonight speaks up. “I will.”
Oh, thank God.
Apparently, his word holds enough weight, so it’s decided.
