kept my head low as we crossed the road and came to a stand on the pavement beside Big Ben. I hadn’t specified a place to meet but knew that Matt would find us.
‘Why are you here then, Kerry? Do you have a meeting?’ I asked.
Cancer hit my arm. I didn’t flinch.
Kerry glanced down at her sandals before looking me square in the eye. ‘You’re pretty rude, aren’t you?’
‘I can be much ruder,’ I replied, dismissing her by turning my back and searching for Matt.
‘Just ignore him, he’s always like that,’ I heard Cancer say.
It wasn’t technically true. I was sometimes nice to people. I didn’t really remember the last time I was, but there had been a time.
‘There he is,’ Cancer squeaked.
I spun to see Matt crossing the road. He ran between cars, causing them to beep at him. He didn’t wear his typical black outfit, which surprised me. He must be hiding the meeting from Nick.
‘Cancer,’ he called as he pushed his way through the people littering the pavement.
She stood still. Her eyes watched his every move. She was frozen. She bit her lip as he came to a stand in front of her.
‘You better—’
‘I don’t have time to stay. Nick has followed me. Come with me. Let’s run off together.’ He grabbed her hand and tried to pull.
I thrust myself between them. We were eye to eye. My cap almost knocked into his head.
‘Why the hell did you come if you knew Nick was following you?’ I hissed.
He shook his head. His eyes tried to look past me, but I blocked his view of my sister. How dare he put her in danger?
‘Leave him alone, Taurus!’ she shouted, yanking on my arm.
There was a scream up the road. The hustle and bustle of the street outside parliament was hard to take in. The screech of rubber wheels on concrete sounded nearby.
‘We need to go,’ I said, spinning to the girls.
Kerry was hovering, her wide eyes fixed on the three of us. Why was she still there?
A car door slammed. I caught sight of a man in a black outfit jumping out of the vehicle that had come to a stop.
‘Run!’ I shouted, grabbing both girls and propelling them through the crowd.
The river Thames wasn’t far, so I went towards it. Cancer whinged as I dragged them behind me. Kerry was silent, so I didn’t check on her. We bumped people, ignoring their complaints. A gunshot sounded, followed by the siren of a police car.
What the hell was Matt thinking? He must have done it on purpose. Why hadn’t I realised that he was setting us up?
‘Let me go!’ Cancer shouted as we ran across the road towards the river.
Glancing behind, I caught sight of Matt close behind us. In the distance, two men gave chase. They had guns in their hands. They struggled to aim them as they ran through the people.
‘Just keep running,’ I called back when Cancer ripped out of my grip.
Matt caught up and took hold of her hand.
‘You set us up!’ she screamed, trying to get away from him too.
The men were gaining on us. We reached the concrete walkway so I stopped and spun back towards the men, dragging Kerry with me. They were about to cross the road so I aimed my hand, focused my attention on the roots of a nearby tree, and felt into the energy. When I was hooked in, I thrust my arm down.
‘What are you doing?’ Kerry puffed beside me.
Nothing happened. The tree should have fallen across the road. I had willed the trunk to tip by moving my arm, but it didn’t work. My brain was fuzzy as the men started to run over the road.
‘Go!’ Matt shouted, pushing me.
I blinked. My mind wouldn’t clear, so I did as he said.
‘Cancer!’ I called as I left Matt behind.
She didn’t answer. Glancing back, I swore under my breath as Matt dragged her away. The men split up. It was a smart move, but I didn’t want to leave Cancer.
‘We need to find somewhere to hide.’ I panted, glancing at Kerry.
Her lips were white. She nodded once. ‘I know somewhere.’ She puffed.
Another gun shot was fired. Kerry squealed
