Rhage had kept the duster over her as little pieces and dust fell down around her. She coughed a few times. He even bent over her as Talon and Darius lifted the beam from over them. He didn’t want anything hitting her. He could take it, but she couldn’t. They opened a space big enough for them to get through. “Come on, baby… time to go…” he told her standing up and stretching his legs and back. Lucien was standing above them to reach for her. “I got her, Rhage….” Rhage nodded and lifted her by the waist until Lucien could reach her. Lucien placed her on solid ground and then helped Rhage up from the hole. Lucien turned and looked at Ava just as Darius did. Talon just stood there grinning. Sloane stood with his hands in his pockets. “What?” Ava said. “I know I look bad… I was just in an explosion…, but you don’t have to stare at me like I have three heads or something.” “We’re staring at the beacon on your neck, ava…” Talon waved his finger in the general area in the air.
