Chapter 67

Subject Z shows a resistance to fire in only one of his shapes. A good thing his healing abilities work in either form.

Urion let Kalini hit him. She'd earned the right to her anger because it was true. His enemies, now her enemies, had firebombed her home. They'd come to her home looking for him. His own fault for not questioning Ben before killing him. He should have asked if they knew about Kalini.

A sloppy mistake. He'd been making so many since he met her. He should have fled with her when he had a chance. Instead, she sat on the ground laughing, and then suddenly she was crying.

Ah shit.

He dropped to her side. "What's wrong?" He'd not sensed any injuries.

"Wh-wh-at's wr-wrong?" she sobbed. "Everything is wrong. I lost everything."

"Only material things."

"They were my things."

"I'm sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen." Never expected he'd find someone like her.
