and tried to duck. I swept her up into my arms and carried on. We didn’t have time to freak out. She was light, but I struggled to breathe. I was so unfit. If I had still been training, I would have been able to run for miles.
‘He’s falling back but still coming,’ she said.
She watched over my shoulder as I darted into the tube station. People frowned at us as we rushed past.
‘Now go out the other entrance. I have a friend’s key to her flat just over the road,’ Kerry shouted.
I did as she said, swearing when we almost ran straight into another man with a black outfit. He wasn’t expecting us to emerge so he wasn’t able to grab us. He gave chase as we shot across the road. Cars narrowly missed my legs as I threw us into the communal door that Kerry indicated.
‘They’ll know we’re in here,’ she said as I dropped her to her feet.
‘We don’t have a choice, I can’t keep running.’
My chest burned as I tried to pull air into it. I coughed as she led me up a flight of stairs. She fumbled in her bag as she ran, digging out a set of keys.
‘Is your friend not here?’ I asked.
I couldn’t hear anyone following us. The entrance door didn’t open behind us. I hoped the men had given up.
‘No, she’s gone travelling for a few months,’ Kerry said, letting us into a small flat and slamming the door behind her.
I went to the window. My shoulders relaxed when I saw that the view was over the street we had just crossed. The men that had chased us stood across the road, looking up at the building.
‘What the bloody hell was that about?’ Kerry shouted.
Flipping my cap off my head, I threw it on the small sofa. My muscles were on fire. I paced the tiny living area before returning to the window. The men lounged against the wall of the river, right next to the steps that lead down into the tube station. It looked like they had set up a guard post.
Kerry stood in the kitchen doorway, her hands on her hips. Her chest rose and fell as she breathed hard. My blood was pumping. I glanced away from her, wishing that it was Sophie standing in front of me. The adrenaline started to leave me as I surveyed our surroundings out of the window.
‘Is there a back entrance to the building?’ I asked.
‘No,’ she said, moving to the sofa and letting it catch her as she fell back.
Smacking my lips together, I moved towards the kitchen. I needed water. My breath was returning to normal, but my heart rate was still doubled.
‘Are you going to tell me what just happened?’
Her voice wasn’t whiny like the other girls. She was a bit more matter of fact than my watery sister.
‘We were chased,’ I stated.
As I downed the water I had poured myself, I tried not to smile as she clenched her fists.
‘And what about Cancer?’
‘I know, she’s annoying, isn’t she?’
I rinsed out the glass I had used and refilled it. Offering it to her, I waited for her to take it.
‘No, it’s you that’s annoying,’ she said, snatching it from my hand. The water sprayed her and she huffed, glaring up at me.
Her dark blonde hair fell away from her face as she tilted her head to look up at me. It struck me as odd that I had met two women that were similar within a week of each other. Sophie was much nicer than Kerry though. She was happier and liked me, which helped.
‘We need to keep our heads low until they go,’ I said, gesturing out the window as I moved back over to check on our guards. They were still there.
‘Will Cancer be okay?’ Her voice was strained.
I couldn’t ignore her probing questions anymore. It wasn’t fair. ‘I have no idea,’ I muttered, annoyed at myself for even arranging the meeting.
What had I been thinking? Why had I trusted a man that worked for our enemy? I hadn’t thought of Nick as an enemy because he seemed like a pathetic man. It was Aries that had declared him someone to reckon with. Even Father had warned us against him our whole lives. I wasn’t afraid, though.
