Chapter 31

Something heavy slams into my side, knocking the breath out of my lungs.

I crawl back, gasping, ears ringing.

Two more shots before Vance lowers his gun, his eyes finding mine.

“You okay, kitten?”

I nod. Or maybe I don’t. I can’t feel anything except the fact that I almost got killed.

He tries to stand, reaching for me, but his body gives out halfway.

“Vance!” I grab him before he hits the ground.
