Connor POV
I arrive at the warehouse separately and later than Rex and Mia. When I spot Rex, he’s arguing with Vito with a vehemence I‘ve never seen in him before. I’m moving through the crowd as quickly as I can, making my way to Rex with a sense of dread- the same sense I felt the day Bones died- freezing my blood when Mia’s yell rings in my ears. I look around and find her elbowing a guy’s face that’s being handsy with her.
Gritting my teeth, I shove more people aside. Mia jumps in front of me and it takes everything in me not to knock her aside. I‘ll be damned if I watch another friend die.
“Get out of the way unless-”
“Rex is arguing with Vito because of me, Reaper. I tried telling you earlier, outside of the mall before you ran me off. I’m fighting tonight. Vito put me in.”
