Chapter 12

Ember

I ended up winning the Gallardo. Jace won a Porsche. Brandon won a Ferrari. The Lamborghini was the most expensive car I'd ever been in besides my dad's Porsche, and let me be honest here, I felt like hot shit in that car (pardon my French).

The next day my mom, Letty, Roman, Gina, and Tej arrived. My mom gave me a huge hug, demanding to know if I was okay. I told her I was, then proceeded to laugh at the look Brandon had on his face from the suffocating hug his mother was giving him.

"Where'd the cars come from?" Letty asked, nodding at our new rides.

"The kids won them," Dom said, sounding rather proud.

"What's the next step in the plan?" Mom inquired.

"That's where I come in," Hobbs intervened. "I have two of the people I trust most working with me on this. After that mole incident, I'm not risking another mishap. They're currently scouting the city via security cameras all over the city, running facial recognition on all known associates of him. If any of his friends are here, we'll find them. As for all of you, don't go out alone, and bring a gun when you do go out. Until we can figure out where they are, we sit here and wait. Understood?"

We all nodded. The adults dispersed. Letty, mom, and Gina went to the computer. I had no idea what they were doing but I had a feeling mom was going to do a search of her own for Lynch's men. Roman and Tej sat on the couch watching TV, bickering about something as usual. Dom and Hobbes stood in the corner, quietly having a conversation. I wanted to know what they were discussing but didn't want to impose myself on them. Besides, I was getting restless. Just because we had fans all over the building didn't mean it was necessarily cool. I was desperate for a place with actual AC. I convinced Jace and Brandon to leave with me again to go get something to eat. We could all tell the adults were not okay with us going but conceded nonetheless. They knew we could handle ourselves as we'd proved it on more than one occasion.

"So where to this time?" Brandon asked.

"Anywhere inside with AC," I replied.

"I say a restaurant because I'm starving," Jace remarked.

"Dude, we literally just had breakfast two hours ago," Brandon said.

"Yeah, I know. What's your point?"

"How the hell do you stay in the shape you're in with all the food you eat?"

"I don't know but I'm not complaining."

"How about that place right there?" I suggested, pointing to what seemed like an out-of-the-way local joint. The boys agreed. Jace most likely because he was hungry and just wanted food. Brandon because he was getting antsy being out in public with madmen on the loose after us.

We sat down in a booth where we could see all the entrances so in case we had any unwelcome visitors, we'd be able to make our escape. The chat was pretty much nonexistent when the food was around. I did joke about how Brandon had chastised Jace for being hungry when we'd only eaten breakfast two hours ago yet he himself was pigging out like tomorrow was his last day on Earth. Where he and Jace put all their food, I have no idea. I can eat a lot but if I ate like them, I might actually pop.
