I darted down the hall, my shoes thumping against the floorboards. I skidded to a stop and yanked the door to the basement open, then took them two at a time. I leaped off the last three and landed in a squat at the bottom.

The guy pulled the phone away from his ear, his mouth open and eyes wide. He hung up and dropped the cell on a table before holding his hands up in surrender.

He gulped as his eyes darted from me to Sloane and Mark, who were now right behind me. “Dude, it’s not what you think.”

My lip curled, and I stalked toward him. “Oh? Then who were you calling?”

The guy’s back hit the table, and he leaned away as I encroached on his space. “It’s…it’s not like that.”

His putrid breath hit me in the face, making my stomach curdle and my nose burn.

Ugh, when was the last time he brushed his teeth? Or washed, for that matter?

His gaze darted around the room as he trembled. “Dane told me he was coming himself. He said this order was exceptionally important and was paying me extra to…”

I narrowed my eyes and gripped his shirt collar. “Paying you extra to do what?”

He shook his head, his gaze darting around the room like he was scoping out the best exit.

Sloane put a hand on my shoulder as she came up next to me, her gaze on the dealer. “You need to tell us. Please, it’s important.”

The guy mashed his lips together. “I can’t. He’ll kill me. You aren’t supposed to be here. I’m not stupid.”

I gave the guy a shake. “No, we’re not. My dad’s hours away. Tell us what you were making and give us the wolfsbane, and you’ll have plenty of time to run before my dad ever makes it here.”

Sloane moved toward him. “We won’t hurt you. I can’t say the same for Al… For Dane.”

The guy’s bottom lip trembled. “How do I know you won’t kill me once you get the wolfsbane? I don’t know what you all are mixed up in—”

“You don’t want to know.” I let go of the guy.

He wiped at his mouth with his palm.

I took a step back and crossed my arms over my chest. “Tell us what we need to know and give us the product, and we’ll all be able to get out of here before my dad arrives. All of us.”

The guy jerked his hand through his grimy hair as his gaze shifted between Sloane and me. His hair was so dirty that it stood up all on its own.

Sloane sighed. “Hey, we’re losing time. We won’t hurt you. I promise.”

Her voice came out soft and smooth.

He pursed his lips and then pointed at a table in the corner. “Your product is there.”

Sloane touched my elbow. “Mark and I will get it ready.”

I met Sloane’s gaze. “Be careful with it.”

She pressed her mouth into a thin smile. “We will.” She turned to her brother. “Come on, Mark. There are some gloves over here.
