She spins in his embrace and wraps her arms around his neck. I give them this moment even as I’m mentally rushing them to get me the hell out of here.
When Adrian releases her, she faces me again. “The live stream you did set some off our more avid supporters on edge. They are demanding a recall of the council, and you be put on a sort of bail until you can be retried for your—the crimes. We are taking you home with us.”
I surge to my feet and keep my hands low so she doesn’t see anything Adrian might kill me for later. Her eyes rove up to the ceiling once she realizes I’m only in my underwear. “They kept you like this?”
“It doesn’t matter.” I rush toward the door. “Let’s go before they change their mind and lock us all in.”
Adrian pounds on the cell door, and it swings open to reveal a guard. Fatty, I’d say, by the looks of him.
The guard steps out of the way, and Adrian invades his space. “Clothes. Now. I’m not taking him outside like this.”
A voice cuts in from the end of the hall. “Oh, but he looks so nice this way. I decided to make it his uniform.”
A cold chill cascades down my spine, and I squeeze my eyes shut. I’d hoped she wouldn’t come, but why wouldn’t she when she can rub her deeds in my face.
She steps closer and rubs her hand down my arm. “We had so much fun together, but it looks like you get to leave for a bit. Don’t worry, I’ll see you again soon.”
I’m about one second from grabbing her and slamming her face into the wall when Valentina slaps her hand off me with a sneer. “Don’t worry, I’ll be seeing you again soon too.”
