Jovana doesn’t come around the back of the car like I expect, but flips her way to the roof and back down, landing right on Colette.

Shit, she’s good.

“Watch her arm, Colette!” I say. “Don’t let her grab you with that poison skin!”

The two of them scrabble on the ground. I drop my bag and circle them, kicking Jovana when I can get a shot in and making sure she doesn’t wrap her hand around Colette. I don’t want to jump into the fray since Colette is trained and I might get in the way.

Mark gets out of the car with a dart gun and before any of us can do anything, he shoots both Jovana and Colette.

“What the hell?” I say, lunging for him.

“Back off,” Mark says. “I don’t know what is going on here, but I’m not going down for it.”

“Jovana kidnapped me,” I say quickly. “I don’t know why. She couldn’t get Sutherland to listen to her, and Klaus isn’t answering calls.”

“Why is this Vigilante Colette so intent on getting you?”

“She’s a friend of Jax. He’ll want me.”

“But he’s dead.”

I don’t say anything, and he curses under his breath. “Sutherland’s not as solid in his plan as he would let us believe,” he says.

“What is his plan?” I ask, mentally trying to keep track of the minutes. Jovana and Colette will need an antidote if Mark used a Vigilante poison. Neither of them are unconscious, but clearly struggling with whatever he gave them, breathing heavily on the ground.

“Hell if I know,” Mark mutters.

“Are you going to give them antidotes?” I ask, my voice shaking.

He turns and kicks at his car. “This is fucked up.”

“What did you hit them with?”

Jovana starts convulsing, her stomach heaving like she’s going to throw up.

“The gastrointestinal one. It’s a torture drug.” He frowns.

“Well, get the antidote!” I say.

Colette starts to writhe on the ground as well. But still, Mark doesn’t move.

I stride over to him and punch him in the belly. “Do it now,” I say.

He doesn’t even flinch from the blow, but it does take him out of whatever pissed-off daze he’s in. He walks to the trunk and opens the lid.

“If you’re so keen on waking them up to fight again, you do it,” he says. He tosses me a red vial.

“I need two,” I say, but then turn away. I’ll dose Colette. He can worry about Jovana.

I yank the protective cover off the needle and stab Colette in the arm. The lovely navy and white dress is dusty and torn. Her short bob covers her face.

I drain the antidote into her and kneel down, the asphalt biting into my knees through my jeans.

Every day since I met Jax has been nothing but the most insane collection of events.

Colette shudders, her hand moving to her belly. Her eyes flutter open. “Putain, ça douille.” Her face is contorted.

“You okay?” I ask. I brush her hair back.

“I think I’d rather be dead,” she says.

Next to us, Jovana’s breathing is labored and pained. She lets out a long terrible groan.
