Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

Do it.
I actually didn’t want either him or me getting arrested for
a fight tonight, but I wanted to see some kind of life from him.
Some remnant of the guy who was once my friend. Someone I
remember very well, wanting to go to that edge and lead us all
over it.
This is what happened when you fell in love. You lost your
nerve, because you didn’t want to lose what had become more
important.
But instead of wimping out, he just smiled.
“You know what?” he said, releasing me. “You’re right.
My imagination is nothing compared to yours. Tell me, how
would you handle him?”
How would I handle him? Need me to do your dirty work
for you, or was this an invitation to play?
“Come on,” Kai egged me on, smirking. “Show us what
we’re missing from the good old days. You’re so fucking
arrogant. You educate us.”
My heart started pumping a little harder, and I stood there,
pondering the challenge. Would they do what I suggested?
I wasn’t even going to leave it up to them. They’d pussy
out.
I locked eyes with my sister. “How fast can the butcher be
here?”
She stared at me only a moment before realization dawned,
and a smile spread across her face. She glanced at Kai who
looked at his wife curiously and then back to me, digging out
her cell. “For us?” she asked, looking excited. “Minutes.”
And then she put the phone to her ear and walked away to
make the call.
I glanced at Alex. “See if they have a first aid kit with
smelling salts?”
She nodded, looking hesitant, but walked toward the
service tent.
