“Nothing.”
“Em,” Wolf sounded irritated, “c’mon, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing!”
“This feels kinda familiar for some reason,” Kai mused.
“You know, I was thinkin’ the same thing,” Lee responded.
Wolf shot them a withering look. “Em, just tell us what happened.”
“Wolf, nothing happened. I’m just going back to the clinic,” I said in my best attempt at a normal tone of voice.
“Do you think they’re related?” Kai asked.
“The resemblance is uncanny,” Lee grinned.
“Both of you, shut up,” Wolf barked.
“Ember!”
We glanced back to see Sable jogging toward us, and I cursed under my breath. I sped up, but Wolf caught my wrist and jerked me to a halt.
“Wait,” he snapped at me.
“Let go,” I snapped back.
“Ember, Nemo would like to talk to you,” Sable said when he caught up to us.
“I’ll talk to him later,” I lied.
“I think it would be beneficial,” Sable pushed.
“I have shit to do,” I said through my teeth, trying to wrench free from Wolf’s grip.
“What happened?” Wolf asked Sable without releasing me.
“Nothing happened,” I snapped. “Wolf, letgoof me!”
“This remind you of that time Wolf had a bullet in his leg and kept insisting he was just a little sore?” Lee asked Kai.
“See, I was thinking about the time he concealed that stab wound, just about bled to death, and Sable almost murdered him,” Kai answered.
Wolf glared at them, but Sable’s lips were twitching upward, and the other two idiots were grinning widely.
“Ember, Nemo would—” Sable began.
I pulled the oldest trick in the book. I pointed behind them with a gasp, my eyes widening in terror. Wolf released my arm as they all spun around, hands going to their respective weapons, and I didn’t waste any time. I took off toward the clinic.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” I heard Wolf yell, and laughter erupted.
I glanced back to see Kai and Lee laughing hard as Lee gripped my brother’s arm. Wolf and Sable looked less amused.
“Let her go. She earned that one,” Lee said.
I kept running, but I couldn’t stop the manic grin that came over my face. As I approached the clinic, Scar and Tuck stood on the porch, eyes narrowing.
“What’s going on?” Tuck asked.
