he wants to make a break for it earlier than expected, I have
no complaints.
Warner’s lucky we’re showing him mercy.
But we’re lucky the entire building has been evacuated. He
has no one to rely on.
Warner clears his throat. He’s staring straight at me when
he speaks. “I can assure you, soldier, your triumph will be
short-lived. You may as well kill me now, because when I
find you, I will thoroughly enjoy destroying every bone in
your body. You’re a fool if you think you can get away with
this.”
“I am not your soldier.” Adam’s face is stone. “I never have
been. You’ve been so caught up in the details of your own
fantasies you failed to notice the dangers right in front of
your face.”
“We can’t kill you yet,” I add. “You have to get us out of
here.”
“You’re making a huge mistake, Juliette,” he says to me.
His voice actually softens. “You’re throwing away an entire
future.” He sighs. “How do you know you can trust him?”
I glance at Adam. Adam, the boy who’s always defended
me, even when he had nothing to gain. I shake my head to
clear it. I remind myself that Warner is a liar. A crazed
lunatic. A psychotic murderer. He would never try to help
me.
I think.
“Let’s go before it’s too late,” I say to Adam. “He’s just
trying to stall us until the soldiers get back.”
“He doesn’t even care about you!” Warner explodes. I
flinch at the sudden, uncontrolled intensity in his voice. “He
just wants a way out of here and he’s using you!” He steps
forward. “I could love you, Juliette—I would treat you like a
queen—”
Adam puts him in a swift headlock and points the gun at
his temple. “You obviously don’t understand what’s
happening here,” he says very carefully.
