Then Stell shot Victor in the chest.
girl im gonna be sick
“It’s not about protection,” said Syd, pulling away. “They’re my family.”
All his life, people had underestimated Mitch. They took one look at his size, his bulk, his tattooed arms and shaved head, and made a snap judgment: slow, stupid, useless.
not me im in love with you king
Dom didn’t have time to figure out which cell Victor was being kept in, so he chose the fastest option. He opened them all.
He pressed his hand against the wound, felt the shirt soaked through with blood. How Dominic had stayed on his feet so long, Victor didn’t know.
NOT HIM
Her eyes narrowed in concentration as her will warred with his, but Eli was loose, and Sydney was lost, and those two things made Victor immovable.
Now, as he looked up from the hole in his chest, he saw the girl, her white-blond hair and ice blue eyes, so familiar, beyond the barrel of the gun.
THATS MY GIRL
Sydney was already shaking her head, but Victor reached out and put a hand on her cheek, the gesture so strange, so gentle, it stopped her cold. “Syd,” he said, “look at me.” She met his eyes. Those eyes that after everything still felt like family, like safety, like home.
His phone lit up—he had switched it to silent, but it still flashed brightly, a familiar number on the screen. Sydney. Victor didn’t answer.
oooo this is so sick
The gunshot split the room, and Victor’s hand fell back to his side as Stell’s body toppled to the floor.
everything is happening so FAST
As he stepped out into the dark, he drew his phone from his pocket. It was buzzing again, Sydney’s name a streak of white against the black backdrop. Victor switched the phone off, and let it slip from his fingers into the nearest trash can. And then he turned his collar up, and walked away.
you exhaust me victor
Victor might be gone, but there was still that thread, tangling their lives. It had led Sydney to him once before, and it would lead her there again. No matter how long or far she had to look. Sooner or later, she would find him. If Sydney had anything, it was time.
Holtz’s eyes flicked to the other body that waited, patiently, on its own steel plank. Rusher.
