Well, to a body that breaks my fall

“Sorry,” I tell the dead guy whose vacant eyes stare back atback up to a crouched position

“This Is Not My Day,” I groan, then grimace as I look at Dead Guy “Guess your day is worse than mine, huh?”

I almost don’t hear it over the rab it, looking at the name on the screen Rush? I have no idea who Rush is

Not that it ht now, because he’s…dead I’m sure you didn’t need that explained

Instead of answering the phone, I go about the carnage, doing runt work as instructed If this is how Sarah wantsto suck

I’ve racked up quite the favor bill in the past six months

AXLE

We roll up to the warehouse, our bikes ru as we take in the scene No one is outside like they’re waiting to announce us The doors are shut, even assuspicious

“Rush, you sure these guys are good?” Drex asks, already thinking the sa I am

Rush walks his bike up alongsidearound us “I asked three of our sources All vouched for these guys to be legit But I don’t like this Someone should be outside”

“Call Jude and tell him and Dash to circle around back,” Drex says to Rush, who nods

He nods slowly, eyes notfrom the front of the warehouse

“Didn’t really think about that being an issue, since I’m twice as lethal as Pop But yeah Now it’s definitely crossing my mind”

“I’ll go in first This is my mess If anyone needs to take the risk, it’shis phone”

“We go in ready for anything Leave the bikes here,” Drex orders

I’un Rush joinsexposed in the e for any movement
