. I mean it s so cliché.It s like in a horrormovie.It s all been played out before. Lachlan rolled his eyes, andwasn t the only one, as Trevor carried on. So, Trevor, Miles interrupted his cousin. Would you rather thecrazy, scary assholes use methods that aren t as predictable? So thatmaybe they take us by surprise and kill us all. Oh dear god in heaven knock it off, Quinn whispered. You twofight like a couple of five-year-olds. Lachlan bit back a giggle.In the face of danger the sparringcousins always found a way to take the edge off the impending doomof the situation.He didn t think Trevor or Miles knew they were Garrett s Choice 141doing it, but it seemed to help relieve some tension from the fightahead. Okay, we separate from here. Ben motioned everyone close. Make sure your earpieces are on and only speak when absolutelynecessary. He s talking to you, bitch. Miles thumped Trevor on theforehead. I ll show you bitch. Trevor moved to smack Miles in the head,but Quinn snatched him around the waist and set him on the other sideaway from his cousin. Remember these are dark warriors and they fight dirty.Be readyfor anything.We all saw what they did to Damon, and he s one oftheir own. Ben looked from man to man then checked his headset tomake sure he could connect with Wes and Aaron from where theywere out in the distance.Satisfied, Ben motioned for everyone to taketheir positions.Garrett grabbed Lachlan s arm as he started to head forward.Heraised an eyebrow at his mate. You okay, Garrett? Yeah, I m fine.I just wanted to tell you no matter what happenshere tonight, I love you and if it comes down to it, save yourself.Runif you have to and if it means leaving me, then do it. Shut up, Garrett. Lachlan placed a hard kiss on his mate s lipssilencing any arguments. If you go down, then I m going down withyou.I d never leave you when you need me the most.We re mates,that s what we do, Lachlan said with a small smile. I figured you d say that. Garrett kissed him one more time thenstarted to walk off. You re such a stubborn hard-ass.I think I mightneed to spank that out of you. Promises, promises. Lachlan pinched Garrett on the butt as hecaught up to him.Lachlan never had any doubt before going into abattle, but he also never had so much on the line to lose before either.Giving Garrett a tight smile, he fanned out a little and kept pace with 142 AJ JarrettGarrett as they got closer to the location Damon had said they d findthe dark warriors.Fifteen minutes had passed and still nothing.They were close towhere Damon had said they would be, but Lachlan didn t seeanything.Then a crack wrenched through the eerily quiet night.Garrett and Lachlan glanced at each other then turned to hustle up thesmall hill.They stopped and looked across a small clearing but didn tsee anything. Ben, did you guys hear that? Lachlan asked into his radio. Yeah, but I m not seeing anything.What? Hang on a sec,Lachlan. Ben paused then came back across the earpiece. Klaussaid he can feel energy in the air.Some sort of magic is all around us.Klaus said to be cautious. Copy that. Lachlan looked at Garrett and nudged his chintoward the dark space of woods in front of them.They slowly stepped forward, looking for any signs of darkwarriors.Ben said Klaus felt magical energy all around them butLachlan couldn t see or scent a single soul in the area except for hismate and fellow warriors.He felt like a sitting duck as he walkedalong in the darkened night.Every shadow cast to the ground had hisheart skipping a beat.Danger was in the air, and Lachlan couldn tpinpoint what direction it came from.Lachlan was about to radio Ben when something weird happened.What appeared to be a flash shined in front of his eyes.It happened soquickly at first Lachlan thought he must have been seeing things.Then it flashed again, and he saw two men strung up between twotrees.They were beaten and bloodied.The scene before him kept flashing in and out.Lachlan zoned inon an all too familiar face.Josh!Without thinking Lachlan took off running.He could hear Garrettbehind him shouting for him to stop, but he couldn t.Didn t Garrettsee that it was Josh?
