Viper rolled his shoulders, rubbing at the red streak on his neck.

eyes.

"But don't get cocky. If we cross paths again, it'll be the last time you have both hands attached."

Alex tilted his head in a careless shrug, flicking the broken shard onto the ground. "That's funny. I was about to say the same thing."
