251. GUNS AND BULLETS

CASPIAN“Move!” I barked, shoving Stevens forward.He stumbled, breathing hard. His lashes were matted with tears. “They…”“Save it, you can explain later,” I snapped, dragging him behind a stack of shipping crates. Safety first, because there would be no time for stories if we all died here.The cover was a flimsy stack of crates, but at least it was something between us and the billets whizzing past our heads. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and motor oil, bullets hitting the crates around us.Duke’s men fired back, each shot bouncing off the concrete walls of the dockyard.“Caspian!?” I heard Markus scream my name. My heart lodged into my throat as I assumed he was hurt.But no, he was pointing desperately at Rowan who was running away.The fucking coward.I turned to Stevens and fisted his shirt. “Stay here. Unless you’re absolutely in danger, do not move from here. Do you understand?”He nodded, his eyes almost filmy with fear. I shook my head. He probably coul

252. A SLIP THROUGH THE NET

CASPIANThe man was being a menace and he didn't even have to be.Xander closed his eyes, and sighed. “How much longer is this going to be? Shoot me already.” The man behind him stabbed his head forward with the gun. “Now you shut up!” I saw Xander’s fingers ball into fists and one looked down at him, and I knew what he had planned. “Sniper!” I screamed, ducking behind for cover with my eyes still on Xander. Xander jumped off the ground, pulled his shoulders forward, then back into the man’s crotch. The man doubled over, both his hands cupping his balls. A moment later, he went toppling to the ground, groaning and grunting like a pig. Xander picked his gun off the floor, cocked it and shot him in the knee. “Look who's being a cry baby now. Not so strong now, are you?” Turning away from him, I made my way to my car, dragging Rowan behind me, while Xander released another bullet into the man who was full on slobbering now. “Xander? Caspian? We’ve got to go!” Rowan was still l

253. INTO THE DEEP

CASPIANThe water swallowed him whole.We stood there, guns raised, scanning the black surface as if Rowan might resurface, coughing and swearing. But the only sound was the slap of waves against the dock. The current pulled at the pilings, dark and fast, dragging him wherever it pleased.“Eyes up,” Duke said finally, “We’re still exposed.”Markus muttered something under his breath, still searching the shadows as though he expected Rowan to just pop up any second.“Can you see him?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer.Duke shook his head. “He’s gone, Caspian. That current’ll carry him a mile before he even surfaces. If he surfaces.”“He will.” I was convinced of that. “Bastard’s like cockroaches. He’ll crawl out somewhere.”Rowan wasn't jumping to his death. I knew very well he wouldn't have risked it, if he wasn't certain he could survive it. Markus looked at me over his shoulder. “We’ve got to pull back. We don’t have numbers to sweep this whole dockyard, and we’re r

254. TWO STEPS AHEAD

CASPIANI laughed before I could stop it. It was half in relief, and half because I was exhausted, and laughing felt better than losing my damned mind.It felt better than being stuck in the cold at the dock, running from another dead end.Damn it.I dropped my head, pressing my forehead against Aria’s, breathing her in. She smelled like her body wash, and it was such a calming thing just to smell her skin.For th first time since rhe docks, my chest didn’t feel like it was being squeezed shut.“Aria…”Her hands framed my face.“Don’t Aria me, Caspian. When all is said and done, you can’t walk in here with blood on your shirt and expect me to pretend that it’s totally normal.”“It’s not my blood.”“I promise that doesn’t make it better.”I closed my eyes slowly, seeing the evening as it had gone. Rowan’s grin as he vanished under the waves would haunt me for the rest of my life at this rate.Aria pulled my shirt, tugging on it until I opened my eyes.I shook my head. I couldn’t unl

255. "PROMISE ME YOU'LL COME BACK"

CASPIAN“I would’ve killed him myself!”Aria jumped off the couch, pacing in front of me, her chest rising and falling, her eyes bright with something I couldn’t name.Was it rage? fear? fire?Or was it all those things tangled into one mess that was choking her?It put me on edge.It set my teeth with fear for her, because Aria would take chances with herself and her life if she knew she could take out Rowan.That was one risk I was unwilling to take.I needed to get rid of him before she got it into her head that she could do it herself.I dragged a hand down my face, knuckles raw from Rowan’s blood. My pulse was suddenly harder than ever, as though my body was trying to make up for forgetting that the fight wasn’t over.“Don’t say stuff like that, Aria.” I gritted out.“Why not? I could do it. And he would deserve it after all the lives he’s ruined. And you? Do you think I wouldn’t pull the trigger if it meant keeping you alive? We both know he’s coming for you.”I knew damned wel

256. "I CAN'T HAVE YOU, NO ONE SHOULD"

ARIACaspian barely slept. I knew because every time my eyes opened, I found him awake. He was lying there with his hand on my waist like if he let go, I might vanish. By morning his eyes were red and he looked like he’d aged years overnight.I didn't think I looked much better either.Still, I got out of bed, showered and dressed, ready for work. “You need to be careful,” he said quietly as I buttoned my blouse. His voice was raw, gravel dragging against stone. “Rowan isn’t done. He’ll be back at that office within the week, no matter what happened by the docks.”My fingers were shaking as I slid the last button in and stepped away from the mirror. “Within the week?” I had hoped he wouldn’t thr entire month at least. “Sooner if he feels better.” He rubbed his temple, then leaned against the dresser like he didn’t trust his legs. “He’s not the kind of person who hides. He’ll want you rattled, and he'll want you scared, so please keep your wits about you. Don’t let him bait you.”

257. ROWAN'S DARE

ARIA“Then be prepared Rowan. One of us will fight to the death, and it sure as hell won't be me.”I turned to go but his next words stopped me in my tracks. “Don't you want to know, Aria? Don't you want to know how I didn't die in that water?” “Fine, tell me.” He chuckled. “I thought of you. I thought of that look of barely hidden horror, and you didn't disappoint.” I left his office then, refusing to acknowledge whatever words he threw at my back.My hands were shaking at my sides. My palms were sweaty from being pressed into his desk, and my throat was burning from words I didn't say. I was afraid that one more second locked in that office with Rowan and I would claw his eyes out. The bastard had smiled when he said it. As though I was supposed to be amused by his threat, or promise or whatever the hell that was. If I can’t have you, no one will.I shoved through the hall, ignoring the stares that followed me. Everyone was still whispering about the miracle release, the “a

258. NOREXIDONE -23

CASPIANThe report was open across my desk like it was mocking me, the company letterhead neat at the top. The rest of the report was a tangle of chemical names and percentages. My eyes landed on the one highlighted compound: Norexidone-23.The name was unfamiliar, but the margin notes weren’t. High potential for dependency. Synthetic binding agent enhances dopamine response. Addictive properties confirmed in 87% of test samples.I pinched the bridge of my nose. Those words were fancy ways of saying the drug was the new cocaine. In other words, very addictive. The scientist who’d sent this hadn’t exactly been calm. He’d called before emailing the file, voice halting, clearing his throat too much. I could tell he was afraid of sharing the information with me. I had to convince him I would share the information with the government myself to ensure that he wouldn't do that himself. “I don’t usually… I mean, I’ve seen things before, but not like this,” he’d said. I heard him sh

259. CUT HIS THROAT, LEAVE HIS ARM

CASPIAN“Repeat that,” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose so hard my nails dug into my skin.On the other end, Stevens went right in. “I said I’ve got a lead on one of the girls. She's alive and she's in Germany.” His voice was tight, like he hadn’t slept in days.For a second, the words didn’t register. There were too many threads been pulling in too many directions, what with the drugs, Rowan’s arrogance, the public already lapping up poison like it was water, and now this. There was a real girl with a name and an identity. And from how urgent Stevens sounded, I could only guess she needed help right away. “Where exactly?” My voice came out clipped. “I don’t want to say over the phone,” Stevens answered. “Not yet. But I can give you coordinates when you’re ready to move. She’s under watch at all hours. She's not safe, but at least not lost either.”My jaw locked. Relief was there, buried deep, but it was drowned by the rush of fury. Ehe was still alive, which meant Rowan

260. TO FIND HER BEFORE ROWAN DID

CASPIANLike Duke said, it was midnight before we pulled the car onto the tarmac, the car’s headlight washing over tt silver body of the plane waiting for us. The feeling of impatience had wrapped around my neck tight, and it was choking the breathe out of me.Aria sat beside me, staring straight out of the window. Her hands were locked in her lap, her fingers twisting and untwisting the hem of her shirt.She hadn't spoken since Steven’s last call. I knew what was in her head, because it was in mine too. It was the thought of the girl. She was a real face, a real human behind her list of names, a real chance. Duke parked near the hangar, killed the lights, and twisted in his seat. “The pilot’s briefed, and your flight plan’s clean, filed under the cover charter I used last year.” His eyes met mine. “Once you’re in, Germany won’t be forgiving if you screw this up.”“We won’t screw it up,” I said.Aria pushed the door open before I did. Cold air rushed in, tangling her hair. She pull
