Chapter 208: Get Into The Car

"What are you doing here? I mean, both of you," Kaito asked with his brows furrowed. He hoped that turning the question back on them would stop them from pressing him too hard.

"What are you doing here?" Angela echoed, stepping closer until she stood right in front of him.

"You are asking me that? I... I came to check the pit," Kaito answered, avoiding her eyes.

"Why would you come to check the pit?" Renn asked as he rested both arms on top of his car. He leaned against it, watching the exchange with quiet interest.

"I..." Kaito faltered. He had no excuse to give them. The truth was the only story he had, and that was the one thing he could not share. It was safer to keep them out of this. Kael was still sick from what happened last time, and Kaito had sworn he would never drag any of them into his plans again.

"You told me you were going to work with Renn, but here you are, alone. And Renn says he hasn’t seen you all day," Angela said, folding her arms as she tilted her head, waiting for his explanation.

Kaito drew in a deep breath and turned to glance at the door of the pit. They could not hear Mr. Slade’s screams from here, but if they stayed any longer Renn would be able to pick up the scent.

"I wanted to meet with Renn to work on something, but I changed my mind," Kaito lied. He reached for Angela’s arm to pull her away, but she held her ground. Frustrated, he sighed. "What now, Angela?"

"Why did you come here?" she pressed, her eyes narrowing. "What are you hiding from us?"

"I’m not doing this," Kaito muttered and walked to his car. He would leave. Maybe if he drove off, they would too.

"Don’t you dare leave, Kaito." Angela’s voice rang with authority as he opened his door. The strength in her tone caught him off guard, and he hated how much he liked it.

"Why?" he asked, glancing from her to Renn, who had been quietly watching. "I came to check if my tools were in order. I keep some things in there. Renn knows about it."

Angela shifted her gaze to Renn, and he gave a small nod. "That’s true. Why are you so interested in what he does? You can’t control his every move."
