"We're trying to avoid that, Sugar," Onyx pointed out, but I could tell he didn't like that I was nearly out of fuel. "You're going to need a shot."
"You’re going to need to mind your own business," I countered.
"She's snarky when she's on the verge of unconsciousness," Saint concluded.
"Nah. She just doesn’t want to take that shot," Jayce acknowledged.
"I don't...oh fuck it," I huffed and moved right in to hug Viktor, who stiffened at my hug. "Suck it up, Viktor. I'll order you to hug me back if I have to."
Viktor grumbled something that sounded like “This is assault” or some shit, but he actually did hug me back- and caught me when my legs gave up on this 'let's be a strong badass' facade.
"Shit," Viktor cursed. I felt Neo and Onyx at my sides in what surely was a nanosecond.
"Wolf down," I practically slurred. "Ya...I'm dying."
"You're not dying," Neo calmly stated.
Onyx huffed and had me in his arms in seconds. "We need to go."
Something told me he wasn't stating that because of my decline in health, but because something was approaching and it would brew into a dangerous gamble of life and death if we didn't hustle out of here.
"Jayce." Dimitris was already in full Alpha mode.
"Already called the team. Our rides should be here. Escalade and G-Wagon. Won't catch too much attention compared to our usual travel accommodations."
"Where are we going?" Onyx asked. "We can't go to Willow's place right now, and I don't think it would be a good idea to go to the safe house either for obvious reasons."
"Like the fact that it's burned to the ground," Neo casually noted.
"Oops," I commented while I kept my eyes closed and head rested against Onyx's chest.
"We'll deal with that later." Dimitris sighed. "We're heading to Neo's hotel."
Hotel?
I could feel Neo’s amusement trickle through me, but Viktor decided to ask the obvious.
"His hotel?"
"I own a hotel not too far from here," he declared. "It'll be safe for us to lay low for a few days until we know what's going on."
"It doesn't guarantee that those after Willow aren't going to be snooping around or attempting to catch our trail," Viktor stressed.
"I’m aware of that," Neo responded without a hint of worry.
Jayce chuckled, which caught our attention.
"When Neo says his hotel is safe, it means Neo owns the entire hotel, has connections with every single individual within the hotel, and owns the entire district around it."
That surely silenced Viktor because he seemed to have nothing else to say while Onyx commented, "You know, for a blind, artistic fucker, you're seriously dangerous."
"Good," Neo replied. "Makes life more eventful, don't you think?"
"Remind me not to let my guard down around him again," Viktor muttered to Onyx.
"Likewise," Onyx replied. "What’s the seating arrangement, because an Escalade won't fit all of us."
"Willow, Neo, Onyx, Jayce, and Saint, head to the hotel. Stay there until I get back so we can discuss our game plan," he began. "Viktor, you'll be riding with me."
