Eternal Prey
““I wasn’t the target.” Utah was certain of that. “Zero didn’t want me to die in that car. He could’ve killed me anytime he wanted. He did want to scare the crap out of me, though, so I’d call you.” He met Fin’s gaze. “Zero wanted to draw you out. He even told me to call you.”
“And you didn’t.” Fin finally looked annoyed.
“No.”
“If there’s ever a next time, call.”
“No.” Utah saw Fin’s annoyance turning to anger and decided to explain. “You’re the only one who matches up with Zero. Sure, the rest... of us might get lucky and manage to kick the rest of his gang back out into the cosmos, but then Zero would wipe us out. The way I see it, you need to survive.”
“And you’re not expendable.” Fin’s expression said the discussion was closed. “Now we need to talk about how to find Seven.”
Utah subsided.
Lia leaned toward him. “He’s right. Fin needs you guys as much as you need him. Don’t underestimate yourself.”
Utah didn’t want anything she said to make him feel good.MoreLess
