But Hernan didn't look the least bit surprised. He just smiled, casting a quick glance to someone nearby before
speaking. "Haddy, you might want to look up before you start making threats."
Hayden and | both looked up. A screen on the ceiling flickered on, showing Yuna and Wade locked in a room, their
faces-pale and anxious.
My heart clenched, and | whipped around to face Heman, fury blazing in my eyes. "Kidnapping girls-is that all

Heman's words confirmed it-they had history. Sold grudge that went way back. And somehow, I'd been
dragged right into the middle of it.
It was obvious Hayden's side had the upper hand, but the way Herman was talking? He definitely had more tricks
