After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221

Liam rubbed his hands together nervously. “Are you sure? I don’t trust Ayla.”

“But you can trust me. Ayla doesn’t have us on her radar at all. She wants revenge on Elaine. Not me or Harriet. You go do your thing. Find your girl, bring her home.”

Liam nodded, determination settling in him as he turned to leave. “Come on Kyle,” he said as he unlocked the door and walked out. Kyle hurried after him.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the radio tower. Liam walked up the steps, trying and failing to remember everything he’d read about locating the source of radio signals. It was all to technical for him.

He had no idea what he was doing.

As he stepped inside, the worker greeted him. “Good, you’re here!” he said. “They’re radioing in again. I’ve got them on the line and am trying to locate their signal.”

Liam nodded. “What do you need from me?”

“Just to try and keep a clear signal. The less static the better, basically,” he said and lead Liam and Kyle upstairs. “She’s been asking about you.”

Liam smiled and walked up to the radio, pulling the headset on as Kyle leaned against the desk.

“Hey you,” Liam said.

“Maybe leave the flirty greetings for Elaine,” Lucas replied over the mic, sounded less than thrilled.

Liam’s face reddened and he let out a breath, shaking his head. “Right. You’re still here.”

“Still alive, unfortunately.”

Liam managed a faint chuckle. It was rare he and Lucas even acted like friends anymore. This was nice. Even if he could still sense the underlying tension.

“You doing okay?” Liam asked. “Stab wound and all?”

“It’s not infected, so there’s that.”

“How did you even get it? Don’t tell me Elaine got mad at you.

Lucas laughed. “She has been, but no. It’s a long story,” he said.

“Alright. She with you?” Liam asked.

“She just left, needed some water. We can’t sit around the radio all day,” Lucas muttered. He sighed, and Liar could hear him adjusting his position, “Walter and Ruth take over the foundation yet?”

“No, but they’re trying.” Liam glanced over at the worker. The gamma was typing away at his monitor. ” Couldn’t tell them Elaine was alive yet. Not without risking her safety.”

“I don’t get these accusations you’re throwing at Ayla. She’s not…she’s never hurt anyone before,” Lucas said

“You want to bet on it?”
