Kai's POV
The moment I stormed out of Ruby’s place, I jumped on Vigor and kicked him to life. The engine roared like a beast hungry for war. I wasn’t wasting time. Mustan was in trouble, and that meant I was too. We didn’t leave our own behind, not on my watch.
The streets flew past in a blur as I sped through the city. My helmet was tight on my head, but it did nothing to calm the storm brewing in my chest. The wind slapped hard against my face. I barely felt it. My only focus was the voice in my ear. Mustan’s soft, shaky breathing through the phone.
“Mustan, keep talking,” I said, voice low but firm.
“They… they’re not shooting now, but they’re still close. Laughing,” he replied. He sounded broken. “I think they’re enjoying it. Playing with us.”
He had said that countless times now
