Suddenly all of his team was surrounding them.
“Like fuck you will,” Jared snarled as North moved over to wrap his arm around her. Surprise filled her when he touched her so easily.
But they’d all changed over the last few weeks.
“Who is gonna stop me?” Zander challenged. “You? There’s only two of you. You’re outnumbered.”
“Zander, stop teasing,” Keira said, leaning into him. “He’s such a joker.”
Um. Right. Sure.
“Angie has to go with them. She loves them.” Keira smiled at the three of them.
“Don’t know why,” Zander muttered.
“Wait! Wait! You nearly forgot your Kill the Fuckers bag!” Honey yelled as she ran up with a large duffel bag over her shoulder.
She dumped it on the ground in front of Keira.
“Easy!” Ammo said. “There’s a fucking grenade in there.”
“What?” North asked.
“This is the bag that means we have to drive home rather than fly?” Jared asked.
North crouched and opened it, searching through it. “There’s a flame thrower in here.”
“Yep,” Honey said proudly. “I put it all together myself for Angie when she moved out. Only she left it behind when she moved.”
“I was kidnapped,” Angie pointed out.
“How did I not find this at the house?” North muttered.
“It was hidden in a secret compartment in the safe room,” Angie explained.
Honey shook her head. “That’s where you went wrong. You should have slept with the flame thrower in your bed.”
“Yes,” Angie said weakly. “That’s where I went wrong.”
“Here’s your vehicle,” Zander said as Eli drove up in a battered van.
“That is what you are lending us to drive home in?” Jared gaped at the vehicle while she tried not to grin.
Jared had probably never stepped foot in a vehicle like this in his life.
“Yes, it works fine.”
Jared scowled and she quickly said her goodbyes before things could escalate.
Zander and Jared had been getting on relatively well. But who knew when that would blow up.
And she wanted to get home. They still had to talk to North about everything he’d kept from them.
Her mind was still reeling. He’d explained things briefly but she knew there was a lot he hadn’t said.
Jared had gotten in contact with Alejandro who had confirmed that there was a wannabe-Deity out there who was trying to recreate The Children of the Divine. Some of Alejandro’s men had come to pick up Richard.
Zander had managed to get the librarian fired and publicly humiliated. None of them liked to harm women but she figured that was a fitting punishment since her job seemed to be her life.
