They made it to the den and the women were pulled out of
the truck and just for the hell of it, he pulled Derek's woman out by the head
of her thick dark hair, smiling with cruel satisfaction as she
flinched.
"We found this at the scene." one of his men came up to
them, just as the driver took off to go dispose of the vehicle far
away.
He accepted a cell phone and saw that it was off. He
then looked at Julia and asked almost casually "Did you drop something in your
little... spill?"
He flicked it on and saw the signal flash on that someone
had tried calling her while it was off.
None other than Derek Rayne himself.
The cool smile grew as he tugged on Julia's hair "Should
we call and let him know you're.... in one piece?"
The anger was still there, but something flickered in her
gaze. Something akin to fear and protectiveness toward
Derek.
"He's gotten himself a spirited one. Yes," he added,
pleased "He'll come after you. Imagine my luck in coming across the
instrument of his destruction. But for now," he tucked the phone into his
jacket pocket and looked at his assistant "Bring the artifact, the girl that had
it and follow me. Have someone lock the others in the
dungeon."
With that he pulled Julia with him and through an iron
wrote gate and down, below ground.
Into the Den.
