“Did you find out anything about yesterday’s incident?” I asked after a while.
“Yeah, but we need some time to check out our suspect,” Caleb answered in a grim tone. “He’s an Elite too.”
“What?! Who?” I demanded at once.
“Luke Beckett.”
“Who’s that?”
Caleb chuckled. “Don’t worry your pretty little head about that now.” He suddenly ruffled my hair.
Annoyed, I grabbed a chunk of his hair and pulled.
“Oi!” he cried out.
Within seconds, we were both locked in a spar with our hands.
“Stop!” Caleb shouted.
“You stop first!”
“Errr...” a third voice sounded in the room.
We both paused, looking toward the doorway.
Milla stood there, staring at us with a stricken look. I could tell she wanted to say something, especially to Caleb but was hesitating.
“Milla,” I moaned her name at once. “Please save me. He’s trying to kill me!”
I enjoyed the dismayed look on her face as she considered standing up to Caleb for me.
“You shouldn’t hurt him when he’s sick,” Milla tried in a brave voice. “What if you hurt his head again? He needs to rest to get better faster.”
“What are you smiling at?” Caleb suddenly wound his arm around my neck, pulling me into a headlock.
“No!” Milla cried out. She ran toward us, putting herself between us to stop Caleb from hurting me.
Both I and my brother were shaking with laughter. Milla wassocute, bravely trying to get a hulk like Caleb off me. The scent of green apples wafted into my nostrils, making me inhale deeply.
Mmm...she smells nice, I thought, enjoying the way her soft body was brushing against mine as she tried to make Caleb stop.
No wonder Noah’s obsessed with her, I realized as she sincerely tried to help me.
“Enough,” I whispered in Caleb’s ear.
He stopped at once, releasing me.
Milla looked as though she’d been in an actual fight. The long, auburn strands of her hair were badly ruffled and she was panting heavily.
“You okay?” Caleb asked gently.
She smoothed her jacket and desperately tried to neaten her hair. Both Caleb and I were almost bursting from trying to hold back our laughter. She was so easy to mess with.
Clearing my throat, I tried. “How come you’re here now? Don’t you have classes?”
“Not this morning,” she said with a smile. “Here, I brought you something.”
She brandished a big gift bag and laid it on my lap.
