I could have reached Havoc fast.
That was the first thought in my head, and I hated that he probably knew it.
The distance between us looked bigger through the shop windows than it really was. Across the street, Havoc stood with the patience of a man who had calculated exactly what he wanted from this and expected one of us to give it to him.
JJ still had one hand around my wrist.
She wasn’t trying to physically restrain me. She didn’t need to.
If I decided to go outside, she knew I was strong enough to pull free without effort. I knew something more important: she had asked me to stay inside, and I wasn’t going to make her fight me for that too.
“He wants you to react,” Benny said beside me.
“I know.”
Havoc angled his face toward me again.
That almost-smile returned.
