.“Nine.All nine are there.”“Well, they know we are here.There is no need for silence.Marcus, thank you.”Claudius bowed slightly in his eldest Son’s direction.Marcus’s eyes narrowed, and then he turned on his heel and headed back towards the road.Where the hell was he going?I wiped my face clean again.“He saw us, Father.”“I know he did.I cannot explain myself.Impulse is something that I normally do not indulge in.” Claudius sighed.“Is Sex so influential with you already?”“You say that as if it is a bad thing.” There was amusement in his tone of voice.“Your wild little brother awakened something in me that I had forgotten, Xavier.”Oh, yeah.That little voice of satisfaction whispered up to me from the darkness within.There was the sound of crunching leaves behind us.Both Claudius and I went on high alert.Armor walked into the clearing with his own set of guns at his hips.He gauged the distance between Claudius and I before giving us a thin smile.Oh, crap.“Xavier, is Azrael coming out to play now?” he questioned, oh, so nonchalantly.“He can’t talk to Shade.I’ll be here a bit longer.How you want to do this? They have orders to drug the redhead.”“I’ll take the middle; Armor, the left flank; Xavier, the right.Just be prepared for the barn guards to join in.We are close, are we not?”I nodded.There was a thin voice broken by some static.“Attention all stations, listen up…they got one of our radios.Switch to secondary station.Repeat, switch to secondary station, and check in immediately.”The signal went dead.“Oh, crap!” I was tempted to throw the radio on the ground but decided to keep it to try to find the new frequency by scanning the band.“I’m good to go.”“Xavier.”I looked at Armor.He touched his chest where I zapped Marcus.“Be careful.”“That’s my middle name.”“I thought it was Edward.”I shook my head.The big lug.“I will.You too.”“What time is it, my Sons?” Claudius dropped his remaining knife into his hand, and I noticed he had armed himself with a handgun from somewhere.“It is killing time.” Armor readied his own weapon and nodded back at Father.I took both my Glocks out and bounced on my feet.“Tick Tock.”Why was there even a Mercenary Guild? They sucked.I only had to fire three times to take out my three targets.I think Armor shot the same amount.Claudius met up with us a little bloody but silent.While I was waiting for everyone to regroup with me, I was fiddling with the radio when I stumbled upon the station I was looking for.“Shots fired! Shots fired!”“Keep your positions.”“Silver team…Silver One? Silver Three?”I motioned for silence and keyed the mic.“I’m hit…Redhead is down…repeat, Redhead is down.” My whole body stiffened as I heard Armanita’s voice kick in over the airwaves.“Where are the other two?”“Target was alone…I need a medic.”“Secure and retrieve the package.”Heartless bitch.I made sure the mic was off.“Incoming.” I gritted my teeth and willed out my wings.Claudius looked at me with a questioning eye.“They need all the help they can get.” I sighed and laid on the ground.“Armor, don’t miss.”He nodded and stepped back into the woods.I lay on my face, my arm tucked under me, holding my Glock ready.Footsteps came crunching through the clearing.“Over here.Holy shit, he’s got wings!” Another set of legs came rushing into view.No one got close enough to touch me.Two were shot, and the third one dropped to his knees with a gurgle.I noticed something fall out of his hands.I sat up as I picked it up.A syringe.The Hellcat channel burst into broadcast.What are you doing, X?Killing vampires.I hope to hell she didn’t pay a heck of a lot for these guys because they are really bad.Did you forget that you are the upper echelon of a secret society? These guys are good.They are better than good.They are the best.You and Claudius are just superior, and you know damned well Armor would have Marcus ranked higher in the House.“We’re close.” Crackle.A big feline sigh was transmitted to me.Let them take you, Xavier.Armanita is unstable.You come near the barn under your own power, she will kill your parents.At my best, I might be able to slow her down for a moment.I wouldn’t be able to stop her.I looked at the needle again.What is in the syringe?Horse tranquilizer.You have got to be kidding me.The dose is huge.You are Lord Emperor.You have been growing stronger, and your system is getting stronger too.She knew Sigmund the First.Consider it an honor that she is ranking your savagery up there with the last Lord Emperor.Tell her minions not to shoot.It’ll be me, staggering in.Remember when you wake up, you’re a docile sex slave.The only way you are going to beat her is to take her off guard.See you in a bit.Shit.Shit.Shit.Shit.“Claudius!” He was already at my side.I have to learn how to move like that.“They think I’m incapacitated.Hit me.” I handed him the needle.I thought he was going to have a discussion about what I wanted to do.I had an argument all prepared.I hissed as he buried the syringe in my back, just above my wing.He threw it away.He took my chin in his hand and used his thumb to rub it over my lower lip.“Father…” Armor said warningly.“I only injected half of the dosage, Xavier.I do this because I love you.” Father hauled off and hit me hard in the face.Holy crap.I hit the ground hard, and I was already half-lying on it to begin with.“I do this, because I love you…and I want you back with me in one piece.” Armor kicked me in the ribs.It was hard to let Father and Brother beat the living crap out of me.The tranquilizer was kicking in too.It seemed to intensify the blows.“Enough!”Armor caught me up in his arms.“I am so sorry, but Armanita has to believe that they caught you.”“They couldn’t…catch a…cold.” My words sounded really slow and drawn out.I felt a tug on my forearm and noticed Claudius unbuckling the knife sheath.“I will hold this for you until we get you out.Armor, take him toward the barn.We will come in when you show us the Hand of Light.Xavier, can you hear me?”“Hand of Light, you come in.Fuck…you didn’t have to hit so hard.” Armor set one arm under my shoulders, just above my wings, and dragged me close to him.My legs were like limp spaghetti.Claudius had to help him get my legs together so he could lift me up under the backs of my thighs.When Armor stood, I got a head rush that threatened to cause me to black out.His voice sounded so far away.“Yes, we did, my Little One.It is a dangerous game we are playing.”Armor carried me so easily.I frowned.Too easily.I still couldn’t pick him up.I made sure to keep my wings up off the ground.I didn’t want him stepping on them again.That hurt like the blazes the last time, that and the fact that he threw me down a flight of stairs [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
