BLAISE

As if being homeless, jobless, and heartbroken wasn’t enough, I had to get my van/house smashed in by two dickless shit weasels.

Who were trying to kill me and kidnap Royal.

My brain had been firing on adrenaline-soaked rage mode during most of the encounter, and that energy wasn’t fading as I tried to pry open the back of Dolores. Her back doors were bent and scraped, paint torn away with streaks of chrome and black marring the surface. The lock was busted, the handle barely functioning as I ripped open one door to see the damage to my life stored inside.

My wig cases were in disarray. My costume trunk was on its side. The guitar I never learned to play but would someday was flipped and almost in the passenger seat. It was a fucking disaster. As I started trying to pull things from the van, Royal took the iron I was holding so I could use both hands.

He may as well have hit me with it with what followed.

“B. I’m going to need your phone.”

“Why?” I set a wig case down, staring at him from over my shoulder.

“Because I think they’re tracking us through it.”

“What?” I scoffed, actually scoffed at this guy, and shook my head. “How the hell would they be doing that?”

“Well, if it was me,” he started patiently. “I would have tracked the source of that video you posted—”

“No.” I pointed at him. “This is not my fault!”

“B,” he tried, but I turned on him. It was misplaced and not fair, but Royal stepped into the eye of the storm. I was hurt, angry, my car was screwed up, and my head was pounding.

“How do we know it wasn’t you? You do shady, weird computer shit all the time on the deep web, right? Yeah, exactly. You probably clicked on some crazy shit and led them right to us. Look at Dolores, Royal! What am I going to do now?”

“We,” he said calmly, putting both of his large hands on my shoulders, “are going to figure it out. Together. Hey.” He leaned down to look at me. Big, brown eyes washed over me like a soothing balm. “I’m not going to leave you hanging. And I’m going to help you get Dolores fixed. You have my word on that.”

My body shook as I exhaled. “Do you really think it was the damn video?”

“The only people who would care about the validity of that video is my team and whoever that Giganotosaurus was. My guys don’t send hitmen to steal phones. They send me and I digitally assassinate data. Or they send a Yutyrannus.” Royal shrugged. “You wanted views. You got them.”

“They were going to kill me.” Saying it out loud made my knees weak. “They were going to kill me, Royal.”

“Like hell I would have let that happen, B.” The seriousness in his voice weakened my knees more, but for different reasons. The smirk he tossed me after made me lean on Dolores’s busted door for strength. “Though you didn’t need my help.
