Heal? Dane scoffed. There was no such thing. Not with this churning, rabid power they shared.
It took so little for Nox to condemn a man to death. Apparently shoot at him, with a bullet that didn't even embed in him, and drag a sedated dog around in a bag was paramount to execution for him. He would never understand the decisions others made.
When asked if he was satisfied, Dane frowned. Of course he wasn't. This was a major disappointment in his eyes. The stupid sunglasses had been unnecessary the whole time. They found rabid dogs. A homeless stray and a regular man to kill. He didn't need Nox to find those things on his own.
But he looked over his shoulder and considered the possibility of continuing alone.
No. He hated to think it. But he needed Nox.
"I am satisfied," he lied. "I'll return with you."
Nox admitted he was weak and without his power. As they turned to go, Temptation roused Dane's imagination. A new, uncontrollable magic user and a weak Nox were both at his disposal.
He could tie them up and make them decide who would die first and how. He could make Cain kill Nox. Talk him through it. Lure him into dealing a killing stroke. He could leave them in a hole with poisoned food and see how long they resisted eating until starvation set in. Put them in a room and told them only one could walk out alive.
So many possibilities. He let his thoughts run wild as they journeyed back to the surface.
