Invincible
“C’mon, Nick. Think. Don’t blow this.
But in his mind, all he heard was the sound of a police siren coming for him to take him away. Meanwhile, an image of him hanging dead in an isolated jail cell danced in his head. Ah, gah, don’t let that be my psychic powers kicking in now. Not when he really didn’t want them.
His panic rose higher.
Nick forced it down and decided on the simplest tactic.
A bald-faced lie. “Waiting for you, Coach.”
Devus’s gaze narrowed dangerously. “How did you get in here?”...
Okay, time to seriously jack it up a couple of notches. Save your butt while you can. He swallowed hard before he answered. “Door was open.”
Granted he’d unlocked it first, but it was true. It had been open when he’d entered. Minus one important detail.
Normally such a lie would bother him. However, new rules were applied when dealing with a homicidal lunatic.
Devus closed the distance between them to stand toe to toe with Nick so that he could intimidate him. He shoved one shoulder into Nick’s and glared down his nose.MoreLess
