I scowled at her

“What the fuck, Catori?” I asked, sounding a little bit more annoyed than I’d intended

She ignoredher ar herself in my chest

“Thank you” She pulled back, yelling it in oddamn smile on her face “Be safe”

Then she was skipping back to the house where Harloatching on with a soft smile on her face

I waited until she was back in the house with Harlow, the door solidly closed behind theate to completely close behindway I didn’t want to be seen arriving the back way That led people to knohere I lived, and right now, I didn’t want anyone to knohere I lived

Not that I didn’t trust the boys I did

What I didn’t trust were the people that were constantly at Lynn’s house

He was the ore, after all

Though his house was in Souls Chapel, he had a lot of people cos, and some of them showed up unannounced

Though that happened rarely, I didn’t want to accidentally lead anyone to Catori’s whereabouts

As I pulled into Lynn and Six’s place, it was to find her leaning on her car, staring at a box in her hands with confusion

I pulled the bike up to a stop next to her and shut it off before asking, “What is it?”

She showed e for a ‘Dollahite’ or sos down the road But it says ‘LIVE’ on it, and now I’ to knohat’s in it”

My lips twitched “Open it”

She looked at al?”

I shrugged “Maybe Maybe not Who the fuck cares?”

She fell into step with me as alked into the house

We both diverted to the kitchen as she found a butcher knife from the knife block in the h the tape on the box

Just as she was about to open the flaps, I placed my hands on the counter and leaned into it, curious what it was right along with her

She opened the flaps of the box and a snake slithered out

Acting on instinct, I did what any sane, red-blooded man would do

I picked the knife up and brought it down right across the snake’s neck, cleaving it in two

“What the absolute fuck was that?” someone bellowed from behind me
