Chapitre 185: Leave

As soon as the doors were closed Captain Black finally released Delaney and she rushed to Vincent. He was still hunched over but was easing upright again. His scars were deep red and when Delaney took his face in her hands she immediately let go again, shocked by how hot they were.

 "Don't... Don't touch my skin," he said quietly, working to sit up.

 Delaney realized his hands were still tied together and so was Ian. She got back to her feet and hurried to the Captain, grabbing his dagger sheathed to his thigh and pulling it out without asking. She dropped to the ground behind Vincent first and very carefully cut the ropes binding him. As soon as she did he took his hands and carefully pressed them to his cheek, hissing against the pain.
