“NO,” WAS MY immediate answer. “No way. You’re not coming. Come on, Liam…”

“Come on, Zoey.” There was a smile on his face, though I could see even in the dark that it was strained. “Don’t act like this is surprising. I’m not going to let you do this by yourself.”

I let out another frustrated shriek, this one much quieter than the previous one. I had the sudden urge to stamp my foot or punch him in the face. “God, you just said that it was a suicide mission. Why the hell would you sign up for that?”

Liam shrugged one shoulder. “Maybe I’m crazy too.”

“What about Astrid? What about the baby?”

He faltered, his face going pale. He swallowed hard before responding. “Let’s face it, Zoey. None of us are safe with Sekhmet out there. We aren’t. No body is, especially you and Astrid and my baby.”

I shuddered. He had a point and my heart squeezed in my chest, thinking of Ash in there. “You’re talking about taking down an entire evil corporation, just the two of us, Liam. I just want to get Ash back.”

“Who knows, Zoey, maybe we can accomplish both.”

It was my turn to consider him. His face was set and I knew how stubborn he could be. We were too much alike, the two of us, and I knew now that he decided there would be no changing his mind. “Fine.”

A smile flashed across his face. “Let’s do this then.” He held out his hand to me and I looked at it, questioningly. “Give me the pack. I’ll carry it.”

I frowned. “You know, I’m perfectly capable of carrying it.”

“I didn’t say you weren’t,” he replied, easily. “Just hand it over.”

I sighed, again, handing it over. I didn’t want to waste time arguing. Well, anymore time than we already had. “Can we go now?”

There was a smirk at the corner of Liam’s mouth. “Yes, ma’am.” He pulled the pack over his broad shoulders, adjusting it so it didn’t cut off his circulation. “What was the next step of this plan?”

It was hard to tell if he was being condescending and I shot a dark look in his direction. His face was clear though. “Well, we can’t exactly go without weapons and I honestly couldn’t figure out to get in there.”

The two of us made our way out of the cafeteria, our shoes making no noise on the floor beneath us. The spiral walkway was abandoned, but the two of us stayed close to the wall, away from the light beaming in from the top dome. There wasn’t much light but the moon was bright enough to cast shadows everywhere, and we hid in those as much as we could.

Liam’s voice was barely more than a whisper as we made our way to the weapons arsenal. “There are guards rotating throughout the day and night, which means they come and go, picking up weapons. We just need to sneak in while someone is going in or out.”

“You make it sound so much easier than it is actually going to be,” I hissed back.
