She turned back, spotting the man. “Felix!” She sprinted toward me, but the man didn’t seem to care that I was there and pulled out a gun, aiming it at Dream.
No!
I reached for my handgun when a shot rang past my ear. Dream immediately crouched, covering her ears as I watched the man stumble while clutching his bleeding shoulder. My head spun to see Haze smiling from the driver’s seat, smoking his blunt while Indigo, who I didn’t notice before, was hanging out the passenger side window with a gun in hand.
Fucking twins.
I swerved the bike and jumped from it, throwing my helmet aside as I ran to Dream. “Dream?” Her head up at my voice and when I was close enough, threw her arms around me.
“I knew you’d come for me,” she whispered.
I held her close, sighing. “Always, cottontail.”
She pulled back and looked past me at my younger siblings. “Are those?—”
I nodded. “Yeah.”
Just then, the back door swung open and Kief and more of his men stepped outside. “Well, well ,well, if it isn’t my dear cousin, Felix.” He noticed the twins and his expression lifted. “My, it’s a family reunion!”
Fucking Kief.
I reached for my gun and whispered to Dream, “Get in the car.”
“Not without you.”
I eyed her closely and knew it was pointless to argue. “Do you have it?” She nodded. “Good. Now, when I stand up, I want you to run to the car.” Her brows furrowed. “Don’t worry.” I kissed her forehead. “I’ll be right behind you.”
I carefully shuffled her behind me and looked at my cousin. “Kief,” I drawled. “This is between you and me. You leave them out of it.”
He grinned and shook his head. “No can do, Felix. And now I know you have a weakness, I plan to use her against you.”
Like hell.
I shot to my feet, pulling the trigger as I took down one of his men. A bullet whizzed past me as another fell back.
Haze’s voice shouted from behind me. “Good shot, little sis.”
Dream sprinted toward the car as Haze reached around and opened the door for her. “Felix!” she shouted. I shot again, watching as Kief ducked behind one of his men like a fucking coward.
I wanted to take him down, to end all this right here, but I knew it wasn’t the time.
“Fuck.” I lowered my gun and sprinted back toward the car. Dream pulled me as Haze revved the engine, spinning the tires until they smoked. The door slammed shut and he shot out of the parking lot.
Dream examined me, frantically asking if I was okay. I nodded.
“Good.” She then slapped me, hard. “Don’t you ever fucking do that again!” I blinked, shocked by how upset she was. Haze snickered to himself as Indigo shoved him. “You pinky promised!” Her eyes watered and I realized how scared she must’ve been. Not of getting hurt herself, but of losing me.
Now I feel like an ass.
I pulled her into me, hugging her tight. “I’m sorry,” I breathed against her hair.
Indigo cleared her throat as Haze looked in the rearview mirror at us. I shot him an annoyed look. “What? Aren't you going to introduce us?”
“The arrogant asshole driving is my baby brother, Haze.” His smile fell at the nickname, which made me happy. “And in the passenger seat is?—”
Indigo spun in her seat, her black hair swaying around her face as her green eyes sparkled. “I’m Indigo, but you can call me Indi.”
“They’re twins,” Dream stated.
