Katelina readied for the onslaught, knees bent and hands at the ready, only Trevor charged past her toward Kai. The boy dispassionately delivered a roundhouse kick that knocked Trevor's knees out from under him. When he regained his footing, Sarah tackled him.
Katelina shouted to his masters, "Call him off!"
Callise drew back, her lip curled. "Saul, I expect you to report this."
"Report what?" Katelina demanded. "Your servant attacked us!"
A snarl caught her attention. She whirled around to see Trevor with his foot in the center of Sarah's chest and his hand wrapped around Kai's throat. The dangling boy's face was calm as he reached into his jacket.
In a flash Katelina understood. Kai was Saul's prize. It was Trevor's job to do the messy work and fetch him, like a rich man whose butler brought him a slice of pie. Only Kai wasn't a snack.
