Jumping the Starting Line

“And now bend toward the ground, trying to let gravity do most of the pulling as your muscles relax.”

I groaned as I followed Mickey’s instructions. We’d all been learning fighting from Mal and practicing together, which left me more sore and tense than I’d ever been before. Mickey had then suggested some of the stretches she used to help her when she was in the middle of a flare, and I hadn’t expected it to be such a workout on its own.

“Don’t push yourself. If you strain, it ruins the point of the stretch. Just let go.”

“If I let go, I’ll fall over,” I huffed.

“Davie—”

She was cut off as the horns sounded yet again, and this time, I knew exactly what that meant.

“Is that…” she asked, standing up.

I nodded. “The anti-humanists. They must be back.”

“But what could they possibly want? There’s no way Bronn would ever hand you over. It would be virtual suicide.”

“It’s Baelfyre,” I said, my brows furrowing. “He has a plan. He wouldn’t show up here if it didn’t benefit him somehow. We just have to figure out how.”

“Hey! Hey, guys!”

I looked over to see Mal and Krisjian running for us, the former with a set of keys in her hand. “Is it time to steal another car?”

“Mal… The horn just sounded. There is no way you had time to find those keys and then come here.”

She shrugged. “It’s good to be prepared. So are you coming or what? I found a set a wheels that will probably withstand even three invisible death ladies.”

“I wouldn’t tempt faith by saying that, but she should be leaving us alone for a bit.”

“Why?” Krisjian asked, affixing me with one of those looks that he got whenever he heard something that didn’t quite sound right to him.

“Later. Mal, lead the way to this car that we definitely shouldn’t be taking.”

“Right this way!”

She took off at a jog, and Mickey and I followed her. It didn’t take us long to reach a sort of massive garage, the type that celebrities usually had on a show where they showed off their houses.

“That cannot be full of cars,” I said, staring as Mal punched in a code to raise the doors.

“Oh, it can,” she said with a smile. “And it is.” The doors finished opening and she made a grand gesture. “Behold, all the fancy cars these dragon folks have for when they want to cruise around the city. Believe me when I say they won’t miss a thing.”

I looked at the rows and rows of really pretty cars. I’d never really been into vehicles myself, and Mickey and I had always been too poor to afford one of our own, but the artist in me loved all the shiny and pretty colors right in front of me.

“This can’t be real,” Mickey breathed, walking forward just slightly.

“You know, I’ve been saying that a lot lately.”

“Anyways, I know it’s nice to gawk, but come on, we have a traitor to go confront. And this time, no grim reaper to stop us.
