Chapter 151

Blow Shit Up

Aurora’s POV

The air feels too still. Too sharp.Nico turns away, his profile caught in the flickering light from the burning debris outside. There’s a cut along his check, blood running down to his jaw, but he’s

smiling

–

not the nice kind of smile. The kind that means he’s already decided something insane. He looks deranged. His hand rises to the small black chip around his neck, voice steady and

cold.

“Blow these bitches up.

“He exhales, slow. That smirk stays, tugging at his mouth like the world around him isn’t seconds from burning down. There’s this spark in his eyes adrenaline, insanity, the kind of wild rush that all of them get when they’re about to do something hat should definitely kill them.

Before I can say anything, he’s reaching into his jacket pocket. Something small catches the light.

Metal. Square.

“N–Nico,” I whisper. “What are you doing?“He doesn’t even look at me at first. Just crouches, brushing dust off the wall like he’s testing for a good spot. “Step back.

Η

“But what is that?“He glances up, grin widening. “Insurance.

“My stomach drops as I feel my heartbeat quicken. ‘What kind of-“He slaps the object onto the cracked concrete, and it sticks. A magnetic click.

Then a faint beep.

And another.

And another.

–

Bright red light pulses from it, fast, rhythmic like a heartbeat counting down to something I don’t want to know.My feet don’t move. My whole body locks up as the beeping speeds up, faster

and faster, like it’s matching the pounding in my chest.

“Wait wait what’s it set for?!” I gasp, voice breaking. He doesn’t answer.

Instead, he turns–and runs straight at us.

“Nico, what are you doing?“He exhales. “Giving us door.

“A door–?“He grabs me first. One arm around my waist, the other yanking Damion closer as if he’s done this a thousand times before. His hand hit the back of my head, forcing it down against

his chest.

“Don’t look,” he yells.

“What do you mean don’t-“Beep–beep beep BEEEEEEP.White light floods my vision.

beep-

Then the world rips apart.

The explosion hits like the sky itself collapsing. A scream I don’t recognize tears from my throat as fire and smoke swallow everything. The blast slams into us, throwing us backward. I can’t breathe. I

can’t see.

The heat sears my skin even through Nico’s jacket as he shields me. My ears ring so loud I can’t hear my own heartbeat.

It takes seconds–maybe minutes–for the dust to even start settling.When it does, my lungs finally drag in a shaky breath that tastes like ash and metal.He finally pulls away, and the look on his face makes my breath stop.

“Still alive?” Nico’s voice. Hoarse, but steady.

Damion coughs somewhere beside me. “Define alive.

“I slowly open my eyes, blinking through the haze. The wall–what’s left of it–is gone. Smoke curls through a massive hole that leads out into open space, light breaking through the dust.

My voice cracks. “What… what was that?“Nico finally lifts his head, his grin returning like it never left. “Told you,” he says. “A door.

“My hands are trembling. My heart’s racing too fast. “You–set off a bomb?” He shrugs. “Small

one.

“Small one?! H–how–bomb–wha-“I can’t even finish. My voice breaks over and over between

horror and disbelief.

Damion shakes his head, a half–smile tugging at his lips despite everything. “You’re insane, man.

“Yeah,” Nico says, standing up and brushing the dust off his shoulders. “But now we need to open

more doors.

“I just stare at the smoke curling from the new “door.

“My whole body’s shaking–part fear, part adrenaline, part… awe.

The compound bursts into chaos–shouts in Russian, the crack of gunfire echoing through the storm. Bullets slice through the air, sparks bouncing off wet stone. Luka moves, cutting through the smoke like a shadow, firing clean, fast, merciless. Jace follows close behind, muttering curses between bursts of gunfire.

“Jesus Christ,” Leon mutters, ducking as another explosion goes off. “Remind me not to get sick

near you again.

“Matteo’s voice cuts through the noise, sharp and clipped. “Guys focus. We’ve got enemy movement from the northwest, thirty meters out.

“Copy that.

“Jace peeks over the barrier, grin crooked despite the chaos. “So who’s buying dinner if I take

down all three?”

“I swear to God, you’re not getting dinner, you’re getting stitches,” Raphael shoots back.

Andrei’s voice yells over the chaos.

“Our focus is finding Nico and Aurora! We need to ahead and locate them!“Jace darts out, rolling

behind another pillar and firing off two perfect rounds. Both targets drop, landing on the ash

covered floor, sending up small puffs.

A bullet ricochets past him, clipping the metal as a body falls right on him. He lets out a high pitched scream, shoving the bloody body off him.

“Ew! Jesus–Raphael! You’re a doctor, not a damn assassin!“Matteo’s yells, shoving a man off him

before his bullet finds its home in his face. “Guys, the signal from Nico’s chip came from inside

before the blast.

“Luka shakes his head. “They’re still far then.

“Another explosion rocks the far side of the compound–smaller this time, but it sends rubble cascading in waves. Luka whistles low. “Nico’s making us a map. Kinda like the Wizard of Oz.

”

“Follow the yellow bitch road.

“Jace grins as he wipes blood from his face, staining his fingers:Andrei’s jaw tightens, voice cold

as steel as worry for Aurora clouds his eyes. “We need to get to them as fast as possible.”
