Chapter 33

Dyson was putting on a clean shirt when Hale and Tamsin came rushing into the room. He was struggling with the shirt since his arm was healing slowly, but he was nearly there.

"Damn man, are you ok?" Hale asked, he stepped forward, helping Dyson with the shirt.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Where did you two go?"

"We went after Kenzi. We saw that you and Bo were down, but we knew going after Kenzi was top priority."

"Did you catch up?" he asked. Hale shook his head. Dyson looked back to Bo who had woken up a few minutes ago. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, her head in her hand. Lauren was sitting next to her comforting her. Dyson felt her pain, she was extremely upset that they'd taken Kenzi when she was right there. She was even more upset that she'd barely been able to do anything about it. Dyson was equally as upset, he could have done more, he could have forced himself up.

"No need to wallow in self-pity. Now is not the time to hang our heads and give up. There is a very important girl waiting for us to get off our asses and come to her rescue, no more moping, get up and let's go." Tamsin said. Dyson chuckled and Bo looked up.

"I just let her go."

"Bo, you fought as hard as you could, just like we all did, we were outnumbered, they wanted her and they took her, now it's our job to get her back." Hale said.

"I'm not just going to sit here and let her die." Bo shook her head.

"Then let's go." Dyson said.

"Slow your roll, don't go running out of here without a plan." Trick said. He came rushing into the room waving his hands.

"We have a plan." Tamsin said crossing her arms.

"And what is it?" he asked. Tamsin met Trick's gaze with her own defiant glare.

"Kill everyone." She said.

"Heck of a plan and a good way to get yourselves killed."

"Well what do you suggest?" Tamsin asked, clearly frustrated.

"You need help, three against an army is not only going to get you all killed very quickly, but Kenzi as well."

"We don't really have many people to call on." Dyson said.

"Not yet anyway." Trick stepped over to the door and waved someone in. A very old thing stepped through the doors and Dyson growled. It was a goblin, but not young like the ones that attacked them, older, much older. Everyone moved quickly, Bo and Lauren jumped to their feet, Hale and Tamsin moved away from him and they all faced off against him, ready to fight.

"Calm down." Trick said holding his hands up.

"I'm not here to fight, as you can see, I'm much too old for that." The goblin said with a raspy chuckle.

"Then why are you here?" Dyson growled again.

"Because you all seem to be looking over the finer details of the predicament you've landed yourselves in. You're blaming my people for attacking you when you seem to forget that goblins are for hire. Hit men if you will. My people were hired out to find the girl and bring her back to Aros. We do as we're told, no matter the cost, we don't take sides, but we honor our agreements. Your friend here sought me out and I've come to tell you that our agreement with Aros has been fulfilled which means my people no longer work for him."

"Which means your people are for hire." Dyson said quickly.

"Exactly." Trick said. The old goblin nodded.

"What's the price, I don't care what it is, I'll rob a bank, we'll steal it, I don't care, just help up kill Aros and his piece of shit lackeys and we'll pay you anything." Bo said.

"I've discussed a price with your friend here. As soon as we have the money, we are under your order until your mission is complete. I'll await your call." And with those words, he disappeared. Trick opened his mouth to talk but Hale held up his hand.

"I've got a large savings account just waiting to be dipped into. Write down the price and I'll get the money." Hale said. Trick nodded and grabbed and small piece of paper, he scribbled down and number and handed it to Hale.

"Hale." Dyson said. Hale turned to face him.

"Thank you." He said. Hale smiled and put his hand on Dyson's uninjured shoulder, he squeezed it.

"Money doesn't mean anything if you can't share it with your friends." He squeezed again and then turned to the door.

"I'll be back very soon."

After Hale left, the group stood around nursing their wounds. Tamsin had suffered a deep laceration to her outer thigh and it was being bandaged up, she also had a couple bruises around her face and throat. Trick had gone flying and was knocked out instantly. Hale had struggled to keep Kenzi but when one had nearly cut his throat with a blade and punched him quickly breaking his nose, he'd been unable to get up fast enough to keep them from getting away with Kenzi. Dyson's arm was healing, but slowly, he could feel the bones mending back together, he just hoped it would be completely healed by the time they got to Kenzi. The wound to his stomach as well as the cuts were healing a lot slower than his arm, but that was usually the way with deep cuts. Bo was back on her feet after feeding from Lauren and Tamsin a little bit. Her head wound was all healed up but Dyson could tell she wasn't 100% and she needed to be at full power if they were going to fight, they all needed to be at full power. A knock sounded at the door and a nurse stuck her head through as soon as the doors slid apart.

"There are two people here to see you all." She said. Dyson's eyebrows knitted together and he looked back at Bo. She shrugged as did Tamsin.

"Send them in." he said. The nurse nodded and disappeared, she was shortly replaced with two people, a male and a female, and they were stunning. Their white hair was amazing, even under the ugly florescent light. The female's hair fell straight past her hips and their eyes were a shining green that made them appear cattish. They were both very slender and the girl had beautiful curves. Their cheekbones were sharp and their noses pointed, the male had a sharp jawline that made him look godlike. They were captivating.

"I'm Azriel." The woman said.

"I'm Valac." The man nodded.

"I don't think we've ever met." Bo said shaking her head.

"Of course we've never met. We live a life of secrecy, hiding from those who wish us dead."

"Oh my god." Trick whispered. Dyson looked over at him, wondering why he appeared so shocked. The woman turned her head toward Trick and a smile played on her lips, it was a smile that was etched into Dyson's brain, he knew that smile, it was the same smile he'd seen on Kenzi's face when Leila possessed her.

"You're Sphinxes." Dyson whispered.
