Once the pain on his arm faded to a dull throb, so too did his hold on the power. Ryker was willing to let it pass with the imminent threat. By the time the guards started to rush, the rifle was swiftly pressed to his shoulder once more, but Marcus defused the situation with a command.
Ryker nodded a smug, ‘I’m with him’ look. Except for the fact he was in the process of earning his freedom, he’d have shot the fuckers dead twice over. “Be seeing you around,” he said as they left.
The fresh air was amazing.
The closing of gates with him on the outside was a sweet, sweet sound. He looked at Marcus with fresher eyes, literally since they were outside. He had big old bowling balls between his legs. No way would Ryker have traded places with being smoke monster meal. Plus the guy spun some wicked fire and crawled to his feet afterward.
He offered to shake Marcus’ hand. Despite no words passing between them, they didn’t need to be said.
He had a shit ton of work to do, and he made a mental note to keep the flashy stuff out of the public eye from now on and avoid a return visit.
First thing on the agenda: take a long ass hot shower, find a case of whiskey, and forget the last month.
