She heard loud laughter come from the direction of the conference rooms. If her memory served her correctly, the library board of directors reserved the largest one for their evening meeting. There was no point for Dani to stick around. If she were caught, it would only raise more questions than answers. She did her best to sneak through the corridor and back outside.
She blended into the crowd on the sidewalk as she made her way back to the bus stop. She sighed to herself. Maybe she made a mountain out of a molehill. She made this whole trip out to be more than it was. She was probably more in danger of being mugged than having to face Grarkiel.
She felt something snake around her bicep and grip her tight. Her steps no longer went forward to her transportation home. She stared hopelessly at the newly arrived bus as her feet shuffled backwards. Over the noise of the city she could hear a familiar voice choke out. “Let her go, now. Please. Let her go.”
Dani looked over her shoulder. Ezra was behind her and it appeared he was dragging her into an alley. However, he wasn’t holding onto her. Instead, a smoky spring green tendril was snaked around her arm. He glanced back over his shoulder and met her gaze.
He had no control over this situation. He was as helpless as she was. She searched the faces around her frantically. Someone had to see this. She received a few shocked looks but no one intervened to help her. The street behind her vanished as she was surrounded by tall buildings on either side of her.
The cloudy restraint released her as Ezra, being driven by Grarkiel, crossed the small space to face her. What was with the theatrics? Who knew an alien could be such a diva?
