Chapter 164

"I wouldn't have pegged you for a boxing aficionado. All right." He rubbed his hands together. "Let's go." He motioned for me to start the car. To his credit, he tried not to flinch as I did.

It was trying to cross our wards and failing, bouncing off the ward's invisible shield at our property line.
