"Weapons are in the trunk," Hector told hih, there were enough guns and blades to take down an army He sheathed the suns He even pocketed an extra crystal in case one of the gunsany chances this ti to his side The agent palently placed it in his side bag "Thought ere going to have to win this battle without you"

"Not likely," he said with a snort "I’ve got skills you can only dreah "Just keep yourself alive, myhis abilities? He’d screwed up once Okay, twice Big deal "As you know, I can do things other people can’t I can move faster than anyone here" Besides Mia, but

she wouldn’t leave Kyrin’s side "I’ve finally given over to my dark side, so I know I can handle this" He said it with confidence, his psychic knowledge assuring him of success He also said it without a hint of disdain

He’d always thought he’d feel more alien, the more he accepted his powers He’d even expected to feel regret Instead, he felt more like himself than he had inwith," he added "Let everyone knohat’s going on before they get there"

Having heard the conversation, Hector came up beside him and held up a coht shot, dead center, and i, the only clearing, where helicopters land"

Dallas nodded "You guys circle the entire area if possible and slowly close in I’ll give a shout if he goes invisible, so you’ll knoear your infrareds and watch for him"

Jaxon slapped him on the shoulder, his scarred face still etched in concern "Got your own infrareds?"

His gaze scanned the trunk When he found a pair of goggles, he nodded, grabbed them up, and fitted them around his neck "Now I do"

"Nolan’s been here ten minutes and hasn’tfor her"

Her The queen The one responsible for the cannibalistic disease Selfish bitch that she clearly was, she screwedthe herself Nolan had mentioned her unparalleled beauty, but no other power What would he be up against?

"Thought he couldn’t sense her anyain he scanned the trunk, looking for anything else he es and lifted one into the light

"My own special blend," Hector said proudly "It’s four different sedatives for four different racesit could get you into trouble Soredients will probably work on more than one race, so there’s a possibility of overdose"

"Work on the Schön?"

"Only one way to find out"

Dallas pocketed two of the syringes, then closed the trunk and peered into the thick trees If he got in trouble for using the sedative, he’d deal "Electricity turned off on the fence?"

Jaxon shook his head "But it will be for ten seconds Soon as I see you close in, I’ll throw the switch We can’t leave it off, though, just in case Nolan makes a run for it Don’t want to ents a confident smile "Don’t wait till I’m close to the fence to switch it off, because you may not see me reach it Click it now" With that, he leaped into a sprint As he ran, he opened hi and ready to be used Instantly he propelled into hyper speed

A quick glance behind hi in slowan inch per second He reached the fence and scaled it, only cutting hih, but it burned like hell It was just as he was releasing the metal that the electricity kicked back on A shock h hiain, feet flying over grass and rocks

Heinto a haze of brown and green As quickly as he was closing the distance, he was still able to see the things in front of him clearly, as if his vision tunneled ahead and hishim out of har There was no reason to question whether or not he’d reached the right spot because Nolan was there, arms crossed over his chest as he waited There were knives in his hands

To aid the queen in case of trouble, or to kill her? Dallas had to wonder again

He didn’t slow but circled the area, too fast to be seen, keeping Nolan in sight as he debated what to do Nolan had told Bride that the virus had helped Nolan dodge stun rays last time, but it had been Nolan hi Therefore, stun still wouldn’t work

He could kill hi pyre-fire But no No longer was Nolan better off dead Not when a cure for his disease h his systeht now

Dallas couldn’t challenge hio invisible, and then Dallas would have to fight him with infrareds, only able to see Nolan, oblivious to everything else around them And if Nolan ran, the infrareds would be useless because Dallas couldn’t give chase with the in as they were, his friends could catch the bastard--h

A sheen of sweat broke out over his skin He was going to have to knock the otherworlder out with Hector’s cocktail Or try to While he waited for the stuff to work, if it worked, he’d have to pin Nolan down, never releasing hiht yellow and violet light suddenly hit the center of the clearing, as if the sun were throwing off heat ether A soft whistle pierced the air

Nolan straightened, stiffened

Shit, out of tiht I have to incapacitate hi around one of the syringes as he closed in on Nolan The ht into the man’s neck and pushed

The warrior fell, shocked, the ee buried deep His body spas Hot breath sawed in and out of his throat and lungs His li mistake You won’t be able to defeat her without et up, and his eyelids closed Every ht

As Dallas released hith drained, as if he too had been injected with a sedative He knew he hadn’t What the hell? He crawled to his knees, certain he wouldn’t be able to stand and hold his oeight

Hurry, he wanted to shout to the other AIR agents So "You want to defeat me?" a soft voice said froroaned at the dizziness that assaulted him That dizziness failed to di before hi pale hair tucked behind her pointed ears, chocolate eyes too big for her face, which somehow made her even lovelier, and heart-shaped lips Her skin was several shades lighter than Dallas’s, but still sun-kissed She wore a long white robe that draped one shoulder and fell over her slender body in waves
