Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 180

I take the protective glasses from inside the emergency pack and slide them on my face before looking over at the King one last time. I lean forward to give him one last peck. When I move to slide out of the window to get on top, he stops me.

"Don't leave me again," he says gently. "Please,"

"I'm not going anywhere, but we need to take care of this before people start dying" I nod.

"I love you," he whispers.

Fuck, I want to say it back but not like this. I nod, pull myself out of the car, and climb on top. I check my weapons and make sure that my gun is loaded. He slows a bit. Enough for me to be able to jump off.

My feet hit the floor and I see the gorgon just up ahead trying to figure out what direction it should attack. I take one of my smoke bombs from my belt and head towards them. I crack the little sphere and throw it. The bright-colored smoke catches its attention. I charge straight for it.

"Now," I shout grabbing hold of its arm and pulling it back.

I hold it to me so that I don't get hit. They all fire on it and I try to wiggle out from behind it now that it's down. I flinch when it screams as they continue to shoot at it. With its belly fully exposed, it stood no chance. When it stops moving I pull my knife out and get to it before it can start to heal. I cut into the belly exposing the heart to cut it out. Sure enough, it was already trying to get itself pumping again.

The rancid stench of its blood is enough to make me gag. Once the heart is out I step back trying to shake the image. I still

"Holy shit! That was fucking lit!" Mackenzie shouts from somewhere on the rooftops.

-How far out are you?- I ask the King.

-That was fucking amazing. I'm coming up behind you in a bit.-
