Chapter Six

As was the plan, they got her a change of clothes at the store in town and the rest of the day was spent waiting for word from the GKA.

Lexie was worried the Phoenix Agency, since they already had the info, would interfere or spook the GKA. Then again, General Knight wanted her badly. Or so Bryant had told her. So maybe spook wasn’t the right word. She just hoped the Phoenix Agency didn’t interfere, because she had a plan that even Bryant didn’t know about.

She was going to help save Mason and stop the GKA from getting whatever they were after, which was apparently buried under the permafrost, and, once Mason and Bryant were safe, she was going to put an end to it all.

She could tell that Bryant was worried about Mason. He told her they were close, but it was obvious he cared a great deal for his former brother-in-arms. He was worried. When Bryant went quiet he was fretting about something.

And right now Bryant was really, really quiet.

And he wasn’t the only one worried. Lexie was worried she wouldn’t be able to control her powers and not only cause harm to Bryant and Mason, but put the entire world at risk if she failed to implement her plan.

Turn. Run.

Only she couldn’t. She was now past the point of no return. Mason meant a lot to Bryant and she could do this for Bryant.

She’d destroy the GKA, the thing they were after, and herself.

That way no one would ever bug Bryant again.

Her mother always told her it would’ve been better if she’d died at birth, instead of surviving. Now, her mother’s wish to see her gone would come true. The sound distortion was loud and she rubbed her temples.

“You’re awfully quiet,” Bryant said, finally breaking the silence.

“I could say the same about you.”

He nodded and then stared at her with an intensity that made her shudder. It was as if he knew her plan about ending it all. He always seemed to know what she was thinking, what her next steps were.

It’s what drew her to him in the first place.

“I was thinking about the first time we met,” she said, looking away, unable to handle his fierce gaze.

“I seem to recall you falling into my arms.” There was fondness in his voice, the warmth that she craved from him.

She smiled. “I did. I was pushed by someone and fell right into your arms. Well, actually, I fell into your lap and knocked over your drink.”

“Right and I got into a brawl with that drunk guy who pushed you.”

“Yes and I tended your wounds after.” Warmth spread through her cheeks as she thought of cleaning his cuts and how she’d been totally snared by his rugged handsomeness. She tried to stay away, but couldn’t.

She was a moth to his flame.

Isn’t that the other way around?

“Lexie.” There was hesitation in his voice.

“Yeah?”

“Don’t…” He scrubbed a hand over his face. His blue eyes were still intense and he pursed his lips together, as if trying to keep back what he really wanted to say.
