Lucas shook blood off his hands like it was nothing, stepping out of the alley with an easy, unbothered stride.
Ava followed, exhaling sharply. "So? What now?"
Lucas grinned. "We have a meeting."
Ava arched a brow. "With who?"

Lucas nodded. "Visitor. An oracle type."
Ava's stomach twisted. "As in, sees the future?"
Lucas chuckled. "Something like that."
Ava narrowed her eyes. "And you trust this person?"
Lucas sighed dramatically. "Beauty, I don't trust anyone."
Ava folded her arms. "Then why are we meeting them?"
Lucas flashed a sharp grin. "Because they asked for us."
Ava went still.
Not him.
