Chapter 22

Liam drove his truck with Brandon in the passenger’s seat when suddenly the Beta felt uneasy with the black van parked at the driveway. There was something unusual about the black van, although he knew they were there for Jazmine. Unable to shrug off his uneasiness, he stopped his car next to the van. Brandon and Liam got out of the car and checked around the van. If it was true that the van was the home for two bodyguards tasked to protect Jazmine, they should have made some noise from the inside. It didn’t matter what sort of noise. It could be the noise of typing on the keyboard or heartbeat, but the Beta and Gamma didn’t hear anything. The van was in dead silence. Brandon reached for the door and looked at him to tell him that the door wasn’t locked. He was about to slide the door open when Liam pushed the Gamma to the side before the van exploded. Brandon and Liam were thrown off and landed roughly against other cars in the vicinity.
