Just In Time

By the time Mr. Gu and David reached the outside parking lot, Kary was already a blue trail in the sky, far in the distance.

"I doubt we can drive fast enough to catch up to her," David chuckled.

"This is no time to be joking around, young man. If one of the Zhong Kui dies, they will never let go of this. We must reach them before Mr. Leduc or Ms. Deveille commits the irreparable."

David looked at him with annoyed eyes.

"And whose fault is that?" he mocked.

Mr. Gu clenched his jaw shut.

"Yeah. Anyway. I have a faster way to get there. But it entails catching a lot of attention. So I expect your boss to cover this up. I'm supposed to stay in the shadows, remember?"

"Whatever it takes. Just hurry. Time is not a luxury we have."

David nodded, satisfied with the answer.

He leaned down, putting his hand on his shadow, and murmured into it.
