Chapter 22

I dropped to my knees, slamming the gun on the ground as my heart hammered. “Where? Where’s he shot? Damn them.”

Bryn held up a tranquilizer dart. “This was in his shoulder.”

“Oh,” I said, melting with relief. “I’ve been shot with a couple of those. He’ll be all right. It’s a knockout drug is all.”

Bryn stared at me.

“He’ll be all right,” I repeated, standing up. “Help me put him on the couch. We’ll cover him with blankets. He can sleep here until it wears off.”

“He’s barely breathing.”

“Yeah, that happens. It’s actually kind of helpful if you’re buried alive.” I put a hand under one of Steve’s bulky arms. Bryn did the same and we hauled him onto the softer surface. I covered him with the throw blankets, then looked Bryn over. There was still blood dripping from his wound and his skin had taken on a faint bluish cast from the cold.

“Let’s get you inside,” I said.

Bryn studied Steve and rechecked his pulse. “I’m going to call the paramedics.”

“Okay. You’ll have to think up a story then. And you’ll have to make a police report since you’ve been shot.”

“I’ll say it was an intruder. Didn’t get a good look at him.”

“Shot you with bullets, but your security guard with a tranquilizer dart? That’ll seem odd.”

“That is odd.”

“For a regular kidnapper or thief, yes. For a Conclave minion?” I said, shrugging. “Knock out the human. Kill the wizard. It was Scarface. Before, I thought he might’ve been hired by DeeDAW even though he seemed too polished for them, but now I know he doesn’t work for them.”

“You think he was with Gwen?”

“Nope. He shot you, not me.”
