‘Damian won’t kill him. But he’s being ‘punished.’

I narrowed my eyes. “What the fuck does that mean!?Punished?Like, he’s hurting him?”

Vox gave me a very serious nod, and both Cass and Naomi looked furious.

“I’ll fucking kill that twat waffle!” Cassandra screeched, moving to storm away again. Vox stepped forward to block her, but Theo got to her first.

“You’re not going anywhere, princess,” Theo grunted, wrapping her arms around Cassandra’s waist and dragging her back.

“Let go of me, you fucking ogre! That dickhole has my brother!”

“Yeah, and he’s going to get you, too, if you go storming over there without a plan.” Theo snapped, not letting up an inch.

Cass whirled around to face my sister. She was so pissed that I was shocked literal smoke wasn’t billowing out her ears.

“Yeah? And what do you suggest we do? Just sit here and do nothing?”

Theo chuckled and shook her head, gesturing to Vox.

“Seems like Dracula over there has a plan. Maybe we listen to him.”

Vox rolled his eyes and wrote on his sheet of paper again.

‘Who here can use a gun?’

Everyone raised their hand but me. Even fucking little Naomi.

I gaped at Theo.

“How do you know how to use a gun!?”

“How do younot!?What if we got robbed? What the fuck Ryan?”

“We’re not going to getrobbed!”

“You don’t know that! This is a business! Businesses get robbed all the time.”

Vox stepped between me and my sister and pulled a handgun out of nowhere. He handed it butt first to Theo, who took it from him without even blinking.

I watched in awe as she pulled back the metal thingy on top to check it for… I don’t know... bullets, I guess?

Vox pointed to Theo and then to Cass and made a sweeping gesture toward her luggage.

Theo smirked and turned to Cass, pointing the handgun at the ground.

“Guess I’m your knight in shining armor, princess.”

Cass glowered at Theo, her lip curling in disdain. To my complete shock, she reached into her Chanel bag and pulled out a handgun of her own, though hers was notably smaller.

“In your dreams, Muscle Shirt. I slay my own dragons. I don’t need you to protect me.”

I glanced at Naomi and raised an eyebrow.

“You going to whip out a gun, too, Gnomes?” I mumbled, and she sighed, shaking her head.

“Nah. I keep mine at the range.”

My mouth dropped open, and she snickered.
