Something Wonderful
Page 26
“What just happened?” Skylar yelped. “Did you do that?” Everything had happened so fast. Adrenalin had rushed through her body so rapidly, she’d had no time for fear. Now that it was over, she was simply amazed, stunned and speechless.
“No, I didn’t. Poseidon’s kids. It’s the only explanation. They can manipulate water. I had it handled. There was no need for them to show off. Lots of civilians are hurt.” Mason sounded irritated, perhaps because he wasn’t the hero this time around, or perhaps he truly did care for those people he didn’t know.
Amazed by their abilities, wherever they were, Skylar was grateful they were there. Though Mason claimed he’d had the situation handled, Skylar thought otherwise, but kept her opinion to herself.
Looking behind them, she could see fire and heavy smoke escalating into the sky. The trucks had mostly slammed against each other, except for one. Guilt consumed her, thinking about the innocent people who’d happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She couldn’t dwell on being remorseful. She saw the same white truck, now joined by a black truck, tailing behind them. “It’s the white truck again, but there’s another one behind it.”
“I see them,” Mason said with a sly tone, looking in the rearview mirror. “Let’s see if they can follow.”
