The goddess to his god

A roadblock ahead made hi line of cars The un ht, but theyfor Genaro Then he saw the silver BMW at the very front of the line and smiled

There she is

Lawson put the truck in reverse, sears and plowed into the one ahead The force of the truck hitting the station wagon sent it skittering into the next He crashed through both and turned the wheel, going around the others and hitting two onco the other into the shoulder

He saw Jessa and her boyfriend climb out of the car and run, and stopped the truck just before it hit the barricade of unmarked cars A cloud of black dust wafted fro men came toward him and distracted him "You’ll have to move--"

Lawson took hold of the man’s left arm, ripped it from his body, and used it to knock the head off his shoulders He took a bite out of the arm before he dropped it and started after Jessa

He had missed lunch and breakfast Maybe he’d have Jessa feed her boyfriend to him instead

The sky clouded overhead as Lucan’s driver came to a stop

"The roadblock is in place, ether h the windshield "There is a truck trying to drive through the stopped cars"

Sarabbed Lucan’s arm "That’s him on the other side of the roadblock The one in the truck" Her hand shook as she reached for her weapon

"No, sweetheart," he told her, tugging her hand away "This is loves and opened the door before he looked back at her "If I fail, suh to stop him"

"Wait" She climbed out after him

Lucan turned to thrust her back into the car; then they both heard the Kyn warrior cry out Sam watched in disbelief as Lawson pulled off the Kyn’s ar and used it to decapitate him

Lucan’s eyes turned to chrome "Stay here, Sa from Lawson

Sam called to the two mortals to take cover, but a blue sedan screeched to a stop between them and the couple jumped into the backseat The sedan spun around and sped away frolass and saw the s of every car Lucan passed explode outward Lawson, as covered in some kind of black soot, stopped a few feet away from her lover

"You’re one of the old ones," she heard Lawson say "I’od"

"There is only one God," Lucan informed him pleasantly "You are not Him"

Lawson lifted one of his hands, and a bolt of electricity shot out, hitting Lucan in the chest and sending hi the hood inith the impact

Sam pulled out her weapon and started to run

Rowan looked back at them "Are you okay?"

"Yes" Matthias put his arm around Jessa "How did you knoould be on this road?"

"Sarah called Drew My cell phone’s history" Rowan turned her attention back to the road, but glanced in her rearview "Who the hell was the guy shooting lightning out of his hands?"

"Lawson," Jessa said, her voice bleak "He’s co to hi else So worse"

"We passed a truck stop about two e cars there" He smiled at Jessa "Nice to meet you at last, Ms Bellamy You’re even prettier in person"

Rowan made a rude sound "Save it, Andrew She’s taken"

"Yes" Matthias turned to Jessa, who held his hand between hers "She is"

Rowan eyed him in the mirror "Was that GenHance with the roadblock back there?"

"No," Jessa said before he could reply "They weren’t GenHance or the police That woun in a holster, but she didn’t dress like a cop And that big ripped Matthias’s hand "This is going to sound a little strange, but when I passed higested

Rowan chuckled "Or he likes wearing perfume"
