Chapter 37

"Violet, no, wait!"

I looked back to see Carl running after me but before he could reach me, I'd already jumped behind Icarus on his Ducati.

"Sorry, Carl!" I called out behind me before turning back to the front, "Go, go, go!" I smacked his shoulder continuously till he drove us away, leaving my bodyguard in dust. His dark chuckle could be barely heard over the wind as we sped through the traffic lights. My grip tightened on him as he dipped the bike low while taking a turn.

"Your... are drawing blood from....."

"What?!" I tried piecing the words together but it made no sense. I scooted closer to hear him over the wind.

"Your fucking nails are drawing blood from my shoulder!" He yelled, making me cringe.

"Geez, you don't have to shout it right in my ear." I loosened my grip, grumbling, "Drive better."

He ignored me as we entered a green illuminated tunnel which ran quite long.

"Where are we going?!"

"You will see soon!"
