I watched the kid in Désiré's arms staring happily at the two chocolate bars I had found in my space. I had killed the last kid who had demanded my lollypop, but in this situation, I was blaming it all on Désiré. I would take my pound of flesh from his hide.
It was a damn good thing that I didn't like chocolate nearly as much as I liked candy. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do.
Even as I was silently planning the destruction of one of my men, the building under my feet started to sway with the next wave that hit. The walls were straining as they tried to fight against the rising tide, but it was a futile effort.
If I looked closely at the walls above the window, I could see jagged cracks starting to form above the frame before spreading out to all sides.
"You did good, Princess," muttered Chang Xuefeng as Tank slipped under my hand. I get why he had to be in hellhound form, but even still, I missed the man.
