Chapter 114: Dumb Luck

(ARLO)

Sasha laughs gruffly again as he returns his gun to its holster. "I'll let you live for a few more hours, only because Miles pleaded with me." He turns to leave but hesitates by Miles's side. "Get your emotions under control, Miles. He needs to die."

Miles stiffens but doesn't say a word.

Sasha heads out of the room and leaves us two looking at each other.

Miles breathes harshly as he inches closer to me. His eyes are bloodshot and glitter with confusion. I'm pretty sure that he has no idea why he is protecting me at this point. I keep pushing Sasha to the wall despite Miles's efforts to protect me. "If you are really desperate to die then keep pushing your luck. Antagonizing Sasha is sure very wise of you."

"Your boss is an arrogant whelp."

"And you're dumb as a brick." He pushes me to the bed without warning and I fall on my back.

"Hey!" I yelp, glaring at him.

"Roll over." He demands.
