The Hunt (2016)
“The only sound was Lucky mumbling in his sleep, Bonebreak’s delighted cackling as he appraised the mountain of tokens, and the pounding of Kindred guards at the door. Was the Council there too, beyond the gate? She looked around frantically, wondering where Bonebreak’s ship was. The echo of Cassian’s scream was still in her ears.

She couldn’t see behind Bonebreak’s mask, but a growing shrill wheeze came from behind it, until he erupted and spun on Leon.
“I will break your bones!”MoreLess
