Chapter Twenty

The attack was not going well. Thalia went through her bullets faster than the enemy. Matt only had ammunition left because it took him longer to reload. The others were going to enter the house any minute now. The second wave of fighters waited by the cars, hunched behind the metal to avoid their bullets.

“This isn’t going our way!” Thalia snapped, wondering how they were going to get out of this. “We might have to make a run for it.”

Matt appraised her, throwing her a knowing look with a tight frown. He looked out the window once more as he propped his shotgun up on the sill and shot at one of the cars.

“Well, it was great knowing you, Thalia. I must admit, it’s never a boring day around you. I do, however, regret we didn’t get to know each other better than this.”

Thalia didn’t respond but felt her cheeks burn at his comment, not wanting to admit she wished for the same thing. Bullets interrupted her thoughts as they rained through the broken window and shattered its frame. She got to her feet, grasping her sword as she listened to the approaching footsteps outside. If only the words would come to her to let Matt know how he had made her feel before the ambush. Unfortunately, the phrases failed to materialize on her lips; her mind was frozen.

The door exploded into a spray of splinters, but Thalia was ready. She jabbed her sword forward, catching one on the right side of his neck.

She killed each one easily with her angel-killer sword, but more kept coming. At least the door created a choke point, which helped slow them down. Soon, the telltale clicks of Matt running out of ammo sounded out like a bomb behind her. She sucked in a breath, smacking one of the men over the head with her gun, and then shoving him out the doorway. He went flying over the porch railing, his body landing with a thwack just out of sight.

“It’s time to go!” she called out to Matt, but before he could answer, a loud yell sounded outside as she disposed of the last warrior on the porch. She watched in shock as the ninja from Ichiro’s club picked his way through the warriors bunched up around the cars, dispatching them far too easily. He wasn’t alone. Three others fought alongside him, and although they no longer wore Ichiro’s insignia, she knew he was a traitor and couldn’t be trusted. Why was he attacking those he’d fought beside before? What reason did this man have to
