“Keladry Savage.”

Understanding passed through Kimber, trailed by anger. “And these guys?”

“Jermaine’s henchmen,” Igor answered. He went to the car and opened the back door, waiting. “He found out you helped her.”

Kimber bit back his response. He had unknowingly put himself in the middle of a mafia family crisis. “Where are you supposed to take me?” he demanded, eyeing the interior of the car.

“You have a gathering with work friends at nine,” Igor said.

“How –”

“We bugged your phone and locker.”

Keladry knew nothing about boundaries. Kimber clenched his jaw hard enough for the muscles of his cheek to tick. “Whose house did I sleep at last night? Keladry’s?”

“One of her homes, yes.”

I knew it was too good to be true. Kimber rubbed his mouth, eyes on the dead men. By his count, eight people had died since he met Keladry. That was eight too many. “Will you take me anywhere I want to go?” he asked.

“Yes.”

He started forward and got into the car. Igor closed the door and slid into the driver’s seat.

“Take me to Keladry,” Kimber directed.

“Boss may not like that.”

“I’ll deal with it.”

“All right.” Igor pulled away from the scene and turned the next corner, seconds before two police cars with blaring sirens raced down the street.

Kimber twisted in his seat to see them. His heart still raced, and the image of the men with their heads blown off was seared into his brain. He watched out the back window until he could no longer see the bright lights of the police vehicles.

“You should put your seatbelt on,” Igor advised.

Kimber faced forward. He obeyed absently, uncertain how to digest what he had just been through. The idea any supervillain-wannabe was targeting him seemed too farfetched for him to accept, and yet, he had been confronted by four armed men who didn’t appear to be there for a chat.

“Are you injured?” Igor asked in the pensive silence.

Kimber glanced down at his hand. He thought it had been cut when he fell, but no wound was present beneath a thin layer of blood. He wiped his hand on his pants.

“No,” he said. “Are you stalking me?”

“Yes, Mister Wellington.”

“Your name really is Igor?”

“It is.”

“And you’re … what exactly? A professional bodyguard?”

“I’m a nanny.”

Kimber’s sudden laugh of surprise caught them both off guard. He cleared his throat, hoping to pass it off as a cough. By Igor’s raised eyebrows, he wasn’t buying it.

Kimber didn’t know what to say at first. Keladry had literally assigned him a babysitter.

“Do all nannies in Sand City carry guns?” Kimber asked after he’d recovered from his surprise.

“They do when they’re raising supervillains.”

“So you’re Keladry’s nanny?”

“I raised her, yes. Now I serve her in whatever capacity she requires.”

“How can you work for someone like that?” Kimber questioned. Keladry was a psychopath if not completely insane.

Igor glanced at him through the rearview mirror once more. “Like what?”

Kimber heard the lethal edge in his voice. “A villain. Supervillain,” Kimber answered.

“Because I have hope for her.”

Kimber’s brow furrowed.

“Her brother is a lost cause, but Keladry has a chance to be something her father and brother could never be.
