“Flash, Alvarez—out.” Jazz saved her Sig geared toward Flash’s prey because the Ok-9s launched their holds and returned to their companions. “Good job, boys. We’ll take it from right here.”

“Received zip ties on you?”

Jazz didn’t take her eyes from the boys to reply Nev. “Opposite to fashionable perception, I don’t sleep with them.”

Nev snorted. “Too unhealthy. I’ll cowl when you get some.”

“Roger.”

With a gun in hand, two Ok-9s, and 6 toes between her and them, Nev’s PTSD shouldn’t be triggered if Jazz left her alone. Particularly now that Nev was doing so a lot better coping.

Commanding Flash to face guard, Jazz dashed to her room, grabbed zip ties from her backpack, and returned in seconds. She had the boys’s wrists tied behind their backs shortly after.

“What do you suppose?” Jazz gestured to the gaping darkish opening that exposed the night time outdoors. The crash that had woken them had apparently been the thugs kicking within the door, which now lay on the ground. “It’s seamless indoor/outside entry.”

A cool breeze drifted in, together with the sound of crickets.

“Yeah, so stylish.” Nev rolled her eyes. “Cowl them whereas I name everybody.” Nev lowered her Sig and disappeared, reemerging quickly together with her cellphone.

She wasn’t kidding about everybody.

Jazz moved to sit down on the brief bench alongside one wall whereas Nev phoned Phoenix, the police, after which Branson. At the least all of the calls have been brief.

And so was the await the primary arrival. Which each Nev and Jazz predicted could be Phoenix.

Certain sufficient, the boss beat the police. One of many biggest mysteries about Phoenix was how she managed to by no means get a rushing ticket. Then once more, Sof appeared to keep away from them, too, although she raced by the streets like a inventory automotive driver. Some individuals had all of the luck.

Phoenix walked up shut to every thug the place they sat on the ground, wrists tied behind their backs.

They seemed none too comfy, due to their chew wounds.

She crouched in entrance of 1, then the opposite, staring into their faces till they seemed away. She was so creepy, she even freaked criminals out. Undecided that stated something good about Phoenix Grey.

Sirens appeared to sound the tip of Phoenix’s silent interrogation of the intruders.

Nev went to open the entrance door and got here again with a pair uniformed cops and Sof, who should’ve arrived on the similar time. She’d introduced Raksa together with her, and the German shepherd gave the certain thugs a warning growl as quickly as he checked out them. Good choose of character.

Sof glanced on the kicked-in door, then smirked on the unhealthy guys. “Little overconfident, don’t you suppose? Subsequent time, attempt not asserting your arrival.”

“And decide a neater goal.” Nev added the critique as she swung her gaze to Jazz and winked.

Jazz smiled. So superior to see Nev’s spunk and braveness again in full pressure, even after dealing with her worst nightmare. However she’d survived. And almost a yr later, she was thriving like she hadn’t for years. No denying the PK-9 group and Branson had been good for her.

“Ma’am?” A tall policeman stopped by Jazz. “I’ll must get your identify and your tackle what occurred right here.”

“Certain.”

As Jazz described the night time’s occasions, Nev did the identical with a unique officer on the opposite aspect of the small room.

The remainder of the PK-9 group members filed in as Jazz and Nev completed their accounts.

A pair EMTs additionally confirmed up and managed to work their manner by the gang to achieve the injured males.

“Let’s go to the lounge.” Nev pointed again up the brief hallway as she glanced on the PK-9 group. Although not all of them have been there. Phoenix had disappeared once more. “I’ll placed on espresso.”

“No, I’ll do this.” Cora touched Nev’s shoulder as she gave her that maternal, involved gaze that was pure Cora. “You and Jazz sit down and relaxation.” She forged the have a look at Jazz, too. “We’ll care for all the pieces.”

Nev smiled. “Thanks.” She caught up with Jazz and looped their arms collectively. “Guess we get to take it simple now.”
