The Children And the Blood
“Staying out of the pool of light cast on the sidewalk, Ashe and Spider slipped around the building and, as they reached the alley at the back of the shop, Carter and Bus rose from the shadows behind a dumpster.
“Son of a bitch,” Bus swore, his blue eyes raking over them and taking in the dried blood on Ashe’s face and the bruises around Spider’s throat. “What happened to you?”
“Ran into a bit of trouble,” Spider replied. “It got taken care of.”
The old man looked between them when the girl didn...’t say anything more. “You sure you’re okay?” he persisted, directing the question mostly to Ashe.
She attempted to smile, and failed miserably. Her stomach wouldn’t stop doing flip flops, and she could feel the pressure of Carter’s gaze. For the first time since Shen’s, she felt like the word ‘wizard’ might as well have been branded on her forehead.
“Bus,” Spider said.
He grimaced, dropping it.
“Where to?” the girl asked Carter.
“Twitch’s.”
Bus blinked.MoreLess
