“You gave someone the shits? A girl after my own heart.” I slapped the side of the van with a laugh. “Start her up. I gotta grab my shit.”
“I stashed a plastic tote about a hundred feet into the woods.” Naomi pointed to the side of the road. “Just make sure when you make it back to your van, that you leave these masks in there.”
I nodded and she headed to the driver’s side and Erik took the passenger seat. I went back to the van we arrived in and grabbed a small black bag before hopping in the back of Naomi’s vehicle.
Once on the highway, we drove for a while. Naomi eventually took an exit and a few turns onto some back roads before pulling over.
“Cameras start a mile ahead. Get in your positions.”
Erik squeezed in between the two front seats and headed toward me. We both stared at each other for mere seconds before Naomi cut in.
“Hurry up. You know there’s a tracker on this vehicle.”
I squatted down, then situated myself until my back rested against the van floor, leaving enough room for Erik to lie down next to me. Grabbing the blanket, I spread it out over our legs. Before pulling it over our heads, I turned my face toward Erik. “I know you want to know how big my cock is, but refrain from getting me excited until after the mission.”
“Geezus, Winnie. Do you ever stop talking?”
“Quiet. Both of you,” Naomi said sternly before she pulled away and I finished covering us up.
We took unpaved country-ass back roads, and every little bump shook the van, causing my gun to dig into my back. Naomi had said she would give us a sign when we were about to enter the gates. When she let out a couple of coughs, I knew we were at Venom’s base headquarters. My heart thundered against my ribcage, reminding me how dumb of an idea I had planned.
The brakes squealed slightly as she pulled to a stop.
“Hey, Naomi! How have you been?”
“I’m good, Rick. And you?”
“I’ve been great. Maybe you can come by after work and we can hang out for a bit.” The man’s voice got louder, and I assumed he had leaned into the window.
“We can do more than hang out,” Naomi said, and my brows rose. “How does six sound?”
“Perfect. See ya then.”
The sound of a kiss filled my ears before the van pulled a few feet forward. After a couple of beeps, I heard the gates opening. The van moved again, taking a couple of turns before it stopped. Naomi cleared her throat, causing Erik and I both to sit up. When my eyes landed on her, she had a tablet in her hand, typing away. She cleared her throat again, indicating that she had disabled the cameras in the parking area before she hopped out of the van. Erik took a deep breath and slid the van door open.
When I got out, I noticed we were on the bottom level of a parking garage, and as we made our way through it, I appreciated the lack of people. Once on the elevator, we took it up to the first floor, stepped off, and headed right.
Naomi cleared her throat again seconds before pushing something on her tablet. Lights positioned on the walls roughly ten feet apart flickered and screeching alarms blasted through my sensitive ears.
Chapter 14
Sage
An excited look adorned Peach’s face as she dropped three duffle bags next to four wooden saw horses.
“What the hell are we doing out here?” I asked.
“Practicing!”
My brows pinched as I thought about all the reasons this was a bad idea. “We’re going to spar in the middle of the forest?”
Peach handed Lyric and I both a leather knife holster. “We’re not fighting. Strap these on.”
I fastened mine onto my right thigh and adjusted it, and when I looked up, Peach held out two daggers.
“Those are genuine Argentium silver, and you can kill vampires and wolven with them. Which is good since we don’t know who Venom is working with. Just make sure you both keep them strapped on you as much as possible.”
I took one from her and turned it over in my hand, admiring the beautiful markings on the handle.
