Chapter 285: Undercurrents
Ethan flung himself down, using a quick wingbeat to lend speed to his plunge. The river was wide and deep and dark, but the young Guardian didn’t need to see. When an angel is Sent, he always knows the way.
Kicking through rushing undercurrents, Ethan reached out. His knuckles bumped a sneaker; his fingertips brushed an elbow. Righting the boy, Ethan pulled him against his chest as he carried him out of danger. Zeke’s arms locked around his neck as they broke the surface.
While choking for breath, Zeke nearly throttled his rescuer. But Ethan didn’t mind. Not at all.
