Chapter 12

Malachi felt the disturbance the second he crossed the first barrier that surrounded the house. The security that the high lord had established was multilayered, and the first ring could be found situated several houses away. Everyone who lived within that boundary likely felt it. Who knew the knock-on effect it had?

He backtracked and tried to figure out where it had come from. If there was a break in the perimeter, he could get through. Anything that might tell him who was behind this.

Two streets over, he found Mei crouched over an unconscious Shadrach. Malachi jogged to her. “Is he okay?”

“No thanks to you.” She glanced at him with a serious frown on her face. “Guess you’re not dead.” She looked back at their teammate, on the ground.

Was that really the point right now? He crouched beside Shadrach as well and saw that the man was in some discomfort, but still breathing.

Malachi patted his cheek. “Wakey wakey, sunshine.”

Shadrach moaned.

“He’ll be okay.”

Mei lifted a hand to her ear. “Did you hear that? He’s gonna be okay.” She paused a second. “Copy that.” Then she said to Malachi, “Remy is still on her way. Maybe she doesn’t trust you, because she wants to see for herself.”

“Good. She can stay with Shadrach while we go inside the house.”

Mei simply lifted one eyebrow at him.

“What?”

“So…since you’re not dead. How’s it going?”

“I guess you were super worried about me.”

She didn’t seem all that distressed. He hadn’t known what to expect when he did see her—which he hadn’t expected to be so soon. With Mei, it was hard to tell. But he hadn’t figured he would get indifference from her.

“The whole team was concerned. Since I knew you were shot and all.”

“Ah. You felt it?” He should apologize. But knowing they had that connection? Maybe he wasn’t sorry.

She got to her feet, and he saw Remy headed for them in a quick jog.

Remy stopped in front of him, pausing a quick second to catch her breath. “Ben and Taya are out looking for you right now. We figured you were alive when you escaped the ambulance, but you’re a wanted man. On the run isn’t a happy place to be. Believe me, I know.”

“I’m okay.” It honestly hadn’t occurred to him to find a phone and call in after he’d ditched his own cell and gone on the lam. “I’d have found you guys.”

Mei shrugged. “Guess you did. Lucky me.”

The fact he was being implicated in the mayor’s murder had led him to this place—on the run. The source of the drug trade that was quickly infiltrating the city with this new substance was obviously tied to the person responsible for him being targeted. Ricardo had been decently forthcoming when Malachi put the pressure on him.

And so, now he was here.

To find out who it was.

Mei started to walk away. “I’m going to find Bella. Do whatever you want.”

That was when he knew he’d hurt her feelings. She wasn’t the kind of woman who would ever admit as much out loud, let alone tell him outright.
