Caspian: Jett cannot be touched, Skylar. Tell me you understand that. Let me handle him in my own way. Justice will be served. Not like this, though.
Skylar: I can’t promise that.
Caspian: You already have by becoming one of us. You can’t take unilateral action. Especially not where this is concerned. You don’t have all the information.
Skylar: Then give me the missing pieces.
Caspian: King Manor. One hour.
Skylar: I’ll be there.
Caleb: Me too.
Skylar: Bastian?
Sebastian: I’ll be there.
I’d have to keep pushing my Lexus to its limits, but I could still make it.
I needed to see Sky.
To make damn sure she couldn’t take this pathetic break of hers.
And as soon as she was within my grasp, I wouldn’t fucking let her go.
Whether she liked it or not.
Fuck it all.
I wouldn’t.
I stowed my phone away, then pulled back onto the road.
Before I could even get up to the speed I needed to make it in time, a car rounded the corner all of sudden, shooting around it at top speed.
Another followed from the left.
Both of them were headed straight for me.
I slowed and shot a look in my rearview mirror to see another coming up at my rear.
What the shit?
I was being boxed in.
I had no choice but to slam on the brakes.
As they closed in around me, I rushed out of the car, drawing my backup blade as I went, seeing as though Cas had my other one from my attack on Damien earlier.
That proved futile in the next moment as half a dozen guys decked out in black sweats with balaclavas hiding their faces bolted out of the vehicles with their pistols drawn and cocked my way.
Shit.
I released my grip on the knife and let it clatter to the road.
In the next second, they were on me.
One of them pistol-whipped me across the side of the head.
