Author bio:
S.K. Anthony is a writer, a reader and a make-stuff-up-er who lives in New York with her husband and toddler twins. She is a wine connoisseur, which just really means she knows she loves it, and a caffeine addict. When she isn’t busy with her family she finds herself being transported into the world of imagination. Well, either that or running away from spiders…she is convinced they are out to get her!
Excerpt:
I
opened eyes to bright lights. I covered my face with my arm and propped myself
up to sit on the bed. I was in the new infirmary. Oh jeez, I’d have to deal
with Derek now.
I squinted enough to see Jenny standing by my side.
“How
are you feeling?” she asked.
“Blind.”
“Give
it a minute for your eyes to adjust.”
“Or
you can turn off the lights.”
“Big
baby,” I heard her chuckle.
“What
happened? Did he get away?” I asked.
“Yes,
Andrew and I had to take care of you. We had no choice.”
“What
is it with me lately? I can’t seem to get a good fight in.”
“Stop
complaining. You kicked major butt with all of those guys,” she said.
“What
happened with everyone? Are they okay? Lisa was on the floor...”
“Everyone is fine. Lisa and one of the guards were tased. And the other one was shot, but he was wearing a vest.” She put her hand on my shoulder. “The Lumins are fine. Their personal safe was missing all of the documents they kept inside, but their money and jewelry were left behind.”
“Yes,
I was there when they took the contents out.”
“Nick
has everything, then?”
I
nodded. “It was in the backpack. We got his team, though, so maybe we can get
Nick’s location from one of them.”
“That’s
not going to happen,” she mumbled as she looked down.
“Why
not? We captured them. Lisa can get the information for us.”
“They’re
all dead,” she said.
“WHAT?
No, most of them were alive, we can get the info—” I stopped when she shook her
head. “What are you saying?”
“They
had kill chips connected to their hearts. When the team arrived to take them
in, all they found were dead bodies with blood running out of their eyes. We
found the chips. It looks like they were remotely activated.”
“I
can’t believe he would do that! Next time— no matter who he hurts— we have to
take him down, Jenny. We cannot worry about each other. If we keep letting him
slip away, we’re all going to be dead soon enough.” I stared at my hands, lost
in thought.
