Chapter 16

Loki

I checked my phone display every few minutes, waiting for the two MIA idiots to show up, and when they finally did, they were both bruised and bloody. We were definitely not doing a great job giving off the impression of a united front.

“What the fuck happened to you?” I demanded, looking between them to figure out who started it. Anyone’s guess, really. Usually Hades was the troublemaker, but sometimes Fenrir got a bug up his ass.

Actually… I recognized the change in his energy. He’d been with Kore.

Yeah, that would definitely do it.

Dionysus seemed shocked by their rough appearance. He definitely wasn’t used to the way things really were, beneath the veneer of the popular boys making hell for everyone else. There was always plenty left over for each other, too.

“Long story,” Fenrir muttered, his broad arms folded over his chest. “What’s this bullshit about Kore being arrested? And why’s he involved?” he asked, nodding to Dionysus.

“It is bullshit, but it’s true,” Dionysus answered before I had the chance. “And I’m here because I’m Kore’s friend. And I’m the one who brought Loki in, so I’m not going anywhere.”

I shrugged as they both looked at me. “We could use all the help we can get. My old man already has it out for her, and if Creepy Kunzite is involved, getting her out’s not gonna be easy.”

“Where is she?” Hades demanded.

“In the school’s holding facilities,” Dionysus answered. “I didn’t even know we had those until today.”

He paused, looking expectantly at us. The truth was, I did know. We all did. I’d just never imagined they would be used to hold a student who hadn’t done anything wrong, let alone Kore.

And I mean, sure. She had probably done more than a few things that would earn her a one-way trip to the slammer, chief among them being our current plot against the King himself, but my father didn’t know that.

“Of course,” Dionysus muttered, reading into our silence for the answer it was. “Do you know where it is?”

“Yes, and breaking her out isn’t going to be easy,” Fenrir said. Good to know we were already thinking along the same lines.

“First things first, on what grounds was she even arrested?” Hades demanded.

I decided to let Dionysus explain, since he’d been there more or less firsthand when it all went down. As he recounted the details, the suspects were already lining up in my mind.

“Helle,” Hades said, his voice laced with irritation. If he was an ass to Kore, he was a hundred times scarier when it came to defending her. “Why would she lie?”

“She hates Kore and always had,” Dionysus said, as if that should be obvious. “You can blame yourself for that. You set the dogs on her, and Helle’s just the one with the sharpest fangs.”

I was surprised at his boldness, especially since I’d never seen any sign of it before. Even I didn’t talk shit to Hades like that, and for a tense moment as they stared each other down, I prepared to get between them.
