“You’ll need to take Victoria with you,” Zoe told him.“I had a feeling you’d need her soon, which is why I gave her one of the walky-talkies.”
“Call her and ask her for her aid,” Amaros said.“It’ll take us longer to get to the island, since she won’t be able to run as fast as we can.”
Zoe took the walkie talkie out of her pocket.“Vic?It’s Zoe.Over.”
“I’m here,” Victoria replied instantly.“Over,” she added.
“I just had a vision that another knight will fall tonight,” Zoe said.“The guys will need your help.Over.”
“I’m on my way,” the wrestler said grimly.“Over and out.”
“That’s my cambion,” Camriel said proudly.“She didn’t even hesitate.”
“Did you see how many soldiers we’ll be up against?”Amaros asked.
Zoe shook her head.“All I saw was rain, two boats heading to the Statue of Liberty and gunfire before the vision ended.”She hesitated before adding something reluctantly.“You should take medical supplies with you.”
Grace groaned at that suggestion.“Did you see who’s going to get hurt?”she asked.
“No,” Zoe said, looking pale and drawn.“I just know they’ll need to take supplies with them.”
Amaros was already forming a plan.“Gear up,” he ordered his second.“We could be gone for a couple of days, depending on how badly one or more of us are wounded.”He would need food and water and so would Victoria.
“I’m on it, boss,” Camriel said, then hurried to pack everything they would need in a couple of backpacks.
He sensed his cambion arriving just as it started to rain heavily.He stepped into the main wing in time to see her stride through the back entrance.Dressed in black from head to toe, Victoria was armed with her compound bow, arrows, sickle and a couple of throwing knives.Their eyes met and she nodded in greeting.He nodded back, hiding his stab of desire at the determined look in her eyes.She hadn’t even met their fellow warrior yet and she was already intent on saving his life.
“Thanks for coming, Vic,” Zoe said as she and Grace greeted the cambion.
“As if I’d miss out on a rescue mission,” Victoria said.“I assume the new knight is going to be in some sort of trouble?”she surmised.
“I didn’t see much in the vision, just that some soldiers will try to get to him first,” Zoe explained.
“Did you see where he’s going to land?”the wrestler asked.
“Somewhere near the Statue of Liberty,” Grace told her.
“It’s been years since I took a ferry to see the old green girl,” Vic said in a musing tone.“It’s about fudging time I visited her again.”
“This fight will be dangerous,” Zoe warned her.“I’m pretty sure someone is going to get hurt.”
“Then we’ll make the cork sucking mother fudgers pay for it with their own blood,” Victoria declared.
Camriel wished he could dunk himself in the lake to cool his libido before they left.Knowing his mate was fully capable of fighting for her life was a massive turn on.He finished gathering their supplies and raced to join his friends.
Zoe and Grace gave them all a hug, then stood in the doorway to watch them leave.They left the tarp on the back of the tank to keep the water out, but removed the one that covered the rest of the vehicle.Victoria had brought her own backpack full of supplies.She climbed into the back as Cam shoved their gear onto the seat next to her.The men got in, then they set out on their mission to save one of their own.
