Finding Aurora

[Nox]

Nox was too on edge to even try to reach for the power, it would either burn him up from the inside out or he'd unleash hell on someone who didn't deserve it. It was best not to even put himself in that position.

Connor looked to Ayden despite Aria's command. Nox started to move in the direction of the metro except Ayden started ranting about not going anywhere with him until she knew what the hell happened. Here was definitely not the place to tell her that Aria had just committed murder. Thankfully there was a distraction and Ayden took the bait, even though he'd not done it on purpose.

His wallet lay silently on the ground. Thank god Bas had just called or he'd have been screwed big time. The fiery red head had the audacity to answer his phone. He could have been made but he found it mildly amusing even though his heart wasn't in it. Nox slide his finger over the sensor to unlock it and she answered it in the best way possible. She was mildly amusing in her anger.

But it was the concern that creased her brow that made Nox concerned Bas was not one to call him for help or express need to. They weren't exactly on the same side of the law. He snatched the phone from Ayden and she glared at him as she shouted "Hey..."


The other side was filled with static like noise. Very little was able to be heard. Nox reached for his power and listened closer, it wasn't like being in the same room, but he could hear a voice - female, he could barely make out the words. "No one's getting burned on this. We did it clean and with no casualties and no attention. Well 'cept for this guy."


"I didn't ask you to stay and explain this. I asked you how you would. And while you gave me a great explanation for the reason the cops won't care you didn't tell me how you'd explain it. But I guess that's how you American's work."


Fuck me.... He recognized that voice, it was hard not to miss the voice of that man. What the hell was he doing on the other end of the Bas's phone. There was little more left to explain anything because the call was cut off. Things just kept getting shittier and shittier. Where the fuck was Bas? The Atharim had caught up with him which meant he was likely dead. But why the fuck was he calling me??? SHIT!
