Chapter Eleven

“I wonder what would happen if I set this off right now,” Dykovski mused as he strode forward, clutching me to his metal chest. The nozzle of the flamethrower nudged up under my chin.

I didn’t move, didn’t flinch, didn’t swallow. I locked eyes with him and shot out hatred like laser beams.

He laughed, shrugging off my glare. “Wonder how Hunter would love you with a face like Kit’s. Think he’d still want you in his bed?”

I struggled against the iron grip, dragging my bare feet as much as I dared without getting stepped on.

Hot Foot appeared in front of us again, his speed making him near invisible. He held up two more chains before tossing them on the floor in front of Dykovski.

Dykovski stomped on them with great glee, shaking me up and down with the effort. “Whose are these?”

“The Guardian and the chick. They’re coming up fast. Thrasher’s busy with Slammer. Going mano a mano, looking epic. Meltdown’s in there too, about to put the hands-on treatment on Slammer and tag team Thrasher.”

I squeezed my eyes shut, keeping back tears.

Hunter.

Rachael.

I opened my eyes in time to see Dykovski flip open the panel on his left arm. He looked at his wristband with a wide smile as it beeped and chirped twice in sequence. “Got one, two. Already had Wind Witch in there, but it always pays to be sure it’s the right code.” He gave me a shake. “Lord knows what sort of weird Agency shit you’ve got access to.”

“Don’t need toys when we’ve got smart supermen and women to kick your ass,” I growled, unable to hold it all back.

That got me another violent shake and a twist of the metal fingers on my well-bruised arm.

Hot Foot stood by and giggled, a maniacal sound telling me he was definitely not in his right mind.

Dykovski tilted his head towards the corner. “Shouldn’t be long now.” He nodded at Hot Foot. “Get back in there and grab the last one. Ani-Man, I believe.” He scowled at me. “May have to kill one of them to get their attention. Who should it be, Surf?” He squeezed. “Who would you kill?”

“Screw you.” I tried to slip free of his metallic hug, getting nowhere.

“Now, now. Language. Don’t make me hand you over to the boys for playtime after this is all over.” A leer came over his face. “Maybe I’ll make Hunter watch.”

Something screamed nearby, a wild feral cry sending shivers up my spine. It didn’t sound human.

Dykovski stopped still, his grip on me loosening just a fraction. His eyebrows rose then lowered as he frowned.

A bobcat scampered around the corner before skidding to a stop. The claws screeched as they dug into the cement floor. The long tufted ears twitched once before they flattened against the wildcat’s head, the feline lips curling back to show long, sharp fangs. He launched himself into the air, snarling as he aimed for Dykovski’s uncovered face.

“Ah!” Dykovski released me and took a step back, his left arm flying up.
