“Along the flights of stairs. Guess there was one on every floor to try to stop us or some shit, but they had about twenty down here so guess they thought I wouldn’t make it to the basement.”
“Fucking hell,” I cursed. “You’re basically saying the Vile Queen sent ninety assassins to come to kill us?”
“Affirmative,” Dimitris concluded as he turned the safety back on and looked over to Viktor who held a very blank expression. I knew he was pissed at the pointing gun part but wasn’t showing it yet. “Can you call the clean-up crew? Neo’s dealing with another attempt to fuck us over while Saint is giving him back up.”
“Got it,” Viktor announced. “The car good?”
“Hasn’t been touched and did an inspection twice.”
“Where are the rest?” I questioned. “Onyx? Loki? Milo? Jayce?”
“Jayce is doing security and running a story on the news to buy us time. Milo, Onyx, and Loki are already on their way to Forbidden Enterprise. They took your car so all eyes are on them.”
“How are you going to go looking like that?” I questioned and realized I was Willow again.
He simply smirked and began to unbutton his shirt. By the time he removed the piece of fabric, the cleaning crew was here and an individual holding a brand new pink suede suit arrived.
“Special delivery, Mr. Moore,” the man announced the moment he arrived at Dimitris's side. “Please accept our replacement.”
“Louis Vuitton. Good enough.” The man literally helped him dress, catering to his will as black vans entered the basement to remove the pile of bodies.
“We’re going to be so late,” I muttered.
"Not if we leave now.”
“What about your hair?”
“I'll get back to its original color before we arrive.”
“Did any bullet graze your flesh?”
“No, Willow,” he answered truthfully but unexpectedly smiled. “I’m okay, Willow. I’m safe. Sorry for pointing a gun your way.”
I could easily accept his apology because he didn’t mean to direct the weapon at me. He was just relying on his instincts.
“Haven’t even arrived at work yet and it’s almost similar to being in a fucking movie and everything under the sun, moon, and stars is trying to stop you from getting there.”
“Just proves you’re about to make big money moves,” he reasoned and suddenly pulled me into a hug. He kissed my forehead and whispered, “Thank you for not being afraid of me.”
All I could do was smile and hug him back as tightly as I could.
“You may scare me at times with that temper of yours, but I’ll never back away from you.”
He knew I meant it.
“Let’s go,” he encouraged and took my hand. “We’ll recap in the car.”
“Maybe toss a power nap in there too?” I reasoned with a glimpse of hope.
We started walking as he looked over his shoulder at me. I waited for his denial, but he smiled slightly and nodded.
“Talk. Power nap. Make another grand entrance in the world we spent too damn long outside of.” He nodded, and we took a moment to watch the men in all white hazard suits begin to bag the criminals as if they were taking out the trash.
“Let’s go, Everlasting,” he quietly whispered, and it made my heart swell at the intriguing nickname. Clenching his hand, I further buried whatever insecurities I still carried about the incident.
It’s time to be free and show the world what we’re made of.
