Chapter 196
Back Underground With the Trio
Zara watched in horror as Winter tackled the thing over the railing and sent both of them crashing into the depths below.
"NO!" She screamed, scrambling to the edge.
Her heart froze as she tried to make out Winter’s figure. The sound of gunfire echoed alongside shrieks from different parts of the walls.
Leo whimpered in his corner and forced Zara to look away. Why was this happening? Why couldn’t they just find their way out of this hellhole and be together?
She crawled over to Leo and pulled him into her arms, rocking him softly as she ignored the pain in her side.
"Where’s uncle?" He sobbed, clutching her shirt.
"He’s—" Zara swallowed, voice cracking as she looked down the space he had fallen into. "He’s coming."
He had to. Winter had superhuman durability; surely that wasn’t a height he would struggle with, right?
Her vision blurred as a wave of nausea came over her. No, NO! She wouldn’t pass out here and leave her baby alone.
Not unless she saw him.
