Chapter Sixteen

Xander

Xander tensed and widened his stance. A quick glance around showed the hardness in the waiter’s expression and a stillness in the air. He considered Olivia. “How do you know they want us to stay?”

At this point, he expected trouble. From everyone they met on the street including homeless people and guys with guns. So different than his past circumstances. Before, the only one who gave him trouble was Jeb, and only when Xander didn’t do what was expected.

“A guy said something on the phone in the kitchen.” Olivia’s gaze shifted to behind the screen.

Angling his head, he gawked in the same direction. How could she hear twelve feet away and over the noise of the running water and banging pots?

“I know what I heard.” She must’ve seen the questioning on his face.

“We’re out of here.” He trusted her instincts when it came to sensing danger. Raising his hands in a martial arts position, he was ready to take out the small waiter with the same move he’d used on the man at the loading dock. “Don’t try to stop us.”

Olivia snatched the bag and turned to leave.

“Must wait here.” A second, brawnier waiter blocked the path to the door. His professional wrestler body would be harder to take down.

“Step aside.” Xander kept his voice low and calm. He’d learned to not show fear when giving orders. It was one of the things Jeb had trained him to do.

“I’ll handle this.” Her smirk poked Xander in the chest. She shouldn’t expose herself and burnout her powers.

He put up a hand to stop her.

She touched the brawny waiter’s shoulder. “Sorry but, no we won’t wait.”

The waiter’s eyes bugged out of his head. He slapped at the spot she’d touched. His body convulsed one, two, three times. He dropped onto the restaurant floor with a large plop.

Fine, Xander would take care of the other guy. He’d do his part to help.

The smaller waiter backed up toward the exit.

Raising his arms, Xander got ready to make his move.

Olivia touched the other waiter on the arm. What was she thinking?

The waiter’s arm shook. He tried to hold it in place. His eyes became as large as the other guy’s, before he sank to the ground.

Xander huffed. She didn’t have to save them at every turn. He could’ve done some butt-kicking. He had skills and muscles. She was showing off. Didn’t she trust in his abilities to protect her?

She stepped over the convulsing bodies and ran to the door. “Come on, Xander.”

His ears hurt from her ordering him about. He should let her take off on her own. See if she understood what was happening to her body. See if she could control her powers and overcome the burnout on her own.

He doubted it.

Stomping out the door, he followed. It was his job to protect her. She might’ve saved him this time, and at the Transamerica Building—although she’d caused him to pass out in the first place—but he was the one who understood her harsh new reality.
