Chapter 282

James and I step out of the elevator on the restricted access floor to find Ryker running down the corridor toward us, Aaron nowhere in sight.

Ryker is holding something, and I recognize the cylindrical

I have to get that SSD.

I launch into a sprint straight toward Ryker, partially shifting as I lunge.

Ryker barely breaks stride as we crash into each other, and while we both have Alpha power, he outweighs me by a hundred pounds, and it feels like getting hit by a train.

Still, I try to grab for the drive.

Behind me, I hear the sound of James growling as he aims to

get into the fray.
