“Oh, I’ve got plans for him,” the other man said in a low voice.
He was kind of scary.
Just as well she was numb or she might have been very afraid.
“I knew you would, boss. What are we going to do?”
“Hmm, he might need to disappear. Of course, we’ll have to be subtle so we don’t alert Mars.”
“I can do it. Subtle is my middle name.”
“No, it’s not. It’s Daisy.”
“Boss, you’re not supposed to tell anyone that.”
“I don’t think she’s going to tell anyone, are you, Devi?” the man asked.
Fear filled her.
“W-why? Are you going to k-kill me?”
The man gave her a shocked look. “What? Why would I do that?”
“That sounded like a threat, boss,” the woman told him.
“Shit. Sorry. I wasn’t trying to sound threatening,” he told her. “It’s my default tone of voice. I’m Zander. This is Honey, we’re not here to kill you. We’re associates of Hayes. And we’re here to rescue you. Well, and to help Hayes go on a murderous rampage against the person who did this.”
“Don’t you mean stop him?” she asked, feeling confused. These two were very strange but they seemed sincere. Although it was hard for her to tell anything right now she was so sore and scared and tired.
Really tired.
“Nope, why would I want to stop him?” Zander asked. “Whoever did this deserves our fury.”
Suddenly, Zander lifted her into the air. What was he doing?
And owww.
She let out a scream.
“I know, Devi,” he murmured. “I know, but we can’t wait. We have to get you to the hospital.”
“Why d-didn’t you w-warn me?” she asked through chattering teeth.
“Shit. Closest hospital is an hour away,” Honey said as Zander climbed into the back of a vehicle with her.
“What’s going on?” another man asked. “I thought we were just scouting and waiting for Hayes.”
“We scouted,” Honey said. “That’s how we found her lying bleeding on the floor.”
“Fuck. Hayes is gonna lose his fucking mind,” the other guy said.
“You . . . you’re mistaken,” she said as the vehicle started moving. She let out a cry.
“Sorry, Devi,” Zander said to her. “We’re trying to be as gentle as possible but we need to move fast. Especially as Hayes will be here soon and I think it’s best he doesn’t see you yet.”
“You all seem to think he’ll r-react badly. H-hayes and I aren’t t-together. He still loves his w-wife.”
“Okay, you keep believing that,” Zander said to her weirdly. “I heard something else in his voice.”
