Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Whatever is done in the dark, always comes to light, you know?” An uncomfortable silence trickles out of the dark and across the parking lot. Just when I think he won’t reply, his words reach out of the dark and fissure through my coat, seeping beneath my skin and disturbing every cell they touch. “Not if you stick to the shadows.”
He rattles the door handle. Smirks when he realizes it’s locked. My relief is fleeting and doesn’t stick, because without breaking eye contact, he slowly lifts an inked hand into view and slides on a leather glove. Then he curls it into a fist and draws back his arm. “Wait!” I yell, bolting forward and unlocking the door before he can smash through the window.
“Strike in a downward motion and aim for the weak spots. Face, throat, ribs.” I follow his finger as he points to them on his own body. “And if all else fails, you kick them in the balls.” Instinctively, I look down at his crotch. Though, I realize my error in less than a heartbeat and quickly glance away, sensing Gabriel stiffen. “Not my balls,” he warns.
