91. "Kia!" Devin's voice carried through the warehouse. His eyes were locked on the gun pressed to her head. His entire body screamed to move, to act, to kill,but he waited. The Boogeyman grinned beneath his cracked mask, the weapon still aimed at Kia's temple. "Should I pull the trigger?" He whispered mockingly. "Just one little squeeze, and boom, problem is solved!" Kia whimpered, her eyes filled with fear and pain. "Devin... please—" "Let her go!" Devin growled. "You bloody bastards have no idea of what you're doing." The Boogeyman laughed, taking a few steps closer to Kia. "Oh, but I do. I'm doing exactly what I came here for." "I swear on my life—" Devin began, but he didn't finish. Because the gun moved away from her head. It shifted, just a little, just enough. In that split second, Devin acted. He didn't think or bother to breathe. He just moved lightning fast. A line of silver light burst from his palm, energy so strong it cracked the concrete und

No!” A hand landed sharply on her face. “You don’t get to tell me no. You only exist because I allow you to!” Amanda held her face, flinching in fear. “Say it!” He screamed. “I only exist because you allow me to.” S

His face was battered, barely recognizable, and his clothes had basically been shredded… to say in the least. His chest rose and fell in a manner that showed that even breathing was painful for him. Devin stood a few feet away, fists clenched at his sides, trying to calm the fire still burning inside him. His breathing was loud in the silence, but his eyes never left the man he’d just crushed. “Tie him up. I want him breathing to question him.” “Yes sir.” Dreykov nodded and motioned to two guards who had made it through the whole chaotic event. One was limping slightly, and the other had a bruised arm, but they obeyed without hesitation. As the men approached with thick ropes and bindings, Viper’s eyes suddenly snapped open. Dreykov noticed it first. “Shit! He’s awake!” He hissed, jumping back. Viper’s head whipped up, blood dripping from his lip, and with one wild, anima
