My worry grows when we hit Acheryx’s outskirts. I scan the countryside, looking for some sign of Mika and Astra. The city looms in the distance, walls pocked and blackened from the battle. There’s no signs of the Obsidians. “Guess they got what they wanted.”

“Or were driven away,” Syl says, squinting at the copse of trees we first hid inside.

“I don’t know. That Avalon chick was terrifying. Something tells me they came out on top.”

“Perhaps. She was impressive.” Syl licks her lips in a slow drag. “I would enjoy meeting her in battle.”

“Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.”

“Look, movement.” She points to the trees. “Over there.”

I’m running before I realize my legs are moving. I’d recognize that flag of black and purple hair anywhere.

The girls meet us halfway, and Mika slams into my arms so hard it knocks me back a step. “Sam… Thank Christ.”

“Hey… We’re okay. We’re good.”

Astra’s just behind her, laying a hand on my arm. “We worried. When Wick escaped us… We knew something was wrong.”

“We wanted to follow,” Mika says, squeezing me tight enough to break ribs, “but we didn’t know which way the contract was.”

“It’s okay. Got a little dicey, but we handled it.”

Mika switches to trying to squeeze Syl to death, and I turn to Wick. “Thanks for not lying about this, too.”

He glares at me. “I told you.” His whiskers twitch as he stares at Mika’s butt. “Like I’d hurt two fine ass ladies like these, anyway.”

“Hey, eyes up here, bud.” God, he talks like a fifteen-year-old kid who thinks he’s smooth. “And to be fair, in the short time I’ve known you, you haven’t exactly been straight with the truth. About anything, really.”

“Yeah, yeah… Can you take this thing out of me, now?”

“Thing?” Astra says, eyeing me speculatively.

“Oh, no, not yet,” I say. “You forget about the other half of what you owe us for trying to get us killed?”

“He what?” Mika’s glare looks like it could melt ice. The flames that ignite at her fingertips definitely could.

“Yeah, he’s got quite a little racket going. Luring newbs into fighting elites way too strong for their level and then collecting their crap afterward. Was any of it real? The guys beating you…”

Wick winces. “I… Hired them to rough me up. So hero types like you would drive them off.:

“I knew they gave up too easy,” Mika crows.

I lean against Syl’s shoulder. “So, he puts us in an unwinnable situation. But he didn’t count on us collecting that,” I say, nodding to the Corroc head I dropped when Mika tackled me.

“Hehe, yeah…” Wick rubs his head. “Gonna have to find a new con after this.”

“Boo hoo.” Mika mock pouts. “Sam, why didn’t you kill his ass the second you realized?”

“Because Wick’s going to help us as repayment.” I pat his furry head a little harder than is necessary.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” Wick sighs, ducking away. “Let’s get this over with. Faster I can get rid of you crazy assholes, the better.”

“Watch your tone,” Syl warns.
