-Evangeline's POV-

"Pitch!" Grayson shouted. We all ran behind him. As soon as he snapped the last guys neck we heard police sirens so we ran.

"Pitch stop!" He shouted again as soon as the police cars were out of ear shot. Sandman stopped and turned towards Grayson.

"What do you need?" He growled barely out of breath. Meanwhile I was the only one breathing like I just ran a marathon.

"What was that?! What the fuck was that?!" Grayson yelled pushing Sandman's chest. Grayson went to push him again but Sandman grabbed his wrist and pushed him back.

"Don't fucking touch me!" He shouted and turned away from us.

"You can't do that Pitch! We are lost now. Completely lost. We are starting from square one all over again because of you! This is on you!" Grayson yelled so loudly that I was afraid someone was going to hear us.

We were currently standing in a creepy, dark alley with no one in sight.

"You are so selfish you know that?! For Gods sake you could have hurt Evangeline because of your fucked up impulse! You put us all at risk because of your stupid action and now we have no information because you fucking killed them!" He basically screamed.

Sandy, Max, and I were just watching this whole interaction carefully. I was sandwiched between the two boys, this little group was tense.

Sandman whipped around fast and came charging towards Grayson.

"Don't tell me what I could have done because I didn't do it. So what if they're dead. Who the fuck cares who I put at risk. My life. My rules. You all just live in my world and work for me. So Grayson fuck off or find something else to do with your oh so worthless life before I do something to you." Sandman spit and turned to walk away from us.

"Payne that's enough." Sandy said strictly making Sandman turn around again.

"Go to hell Asher." He said and walked away. We followed after him slowly.

"I live with you. I don't have to." Sandy muttered before he started to walk faster.

The next city we were heading to was Detroit. Supposedly Sandman saw one of their phones ring with a Detroit number.

The plane ride was tense. Really tense.

Max and Grayson sat on one side while I sat next to Sandy.

Sandman was sitting by himself with a map of Detroit in front of him.

"I know it's not a long plane ride but you might want to get some sleep. Payne will have stuff planned for all of us." Sandy whispered.

"Will I be drugged again?" I say back tiredly.

"I'll make sure he doesn't touch you." He replied.

"Thank you." I say before I got comfy and fell asleep.

"So please inform me how the fuck we are going to find another clue?" I heard Max say to Sandman.

I woke up fully to see Grayson sitting beside me this time.

"Did you guys carry me off the plane?" I asked with a groggy voice.

Last night was a long night.

"Asher did. He said that he wouldn't let Pitch touch you." I smiled as I remember Sandy saying that.
