Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

with Rika, but he was willing to indulge a little walk around
the park with another beautiful student.
Kai looked over at me, twenty yards away, and I jerked my
chin, alerting him it was time. He stepped back, giving himself
room, got in his stance, and as soon as Alex came around the
corner, Kai shot out, swung his leg around, and knocked the
dude right in his temple. He didn’t even have time to turn and
see who was there.
His head jerked back, his knees gave out, and he fell
forward, face planting on the dirt ground.
“Oh, shit!” Will shook with laughter. “He went down like a
dead deer.”
A snort sounded from either Michael or Banks, and Kai
looked down at his victim, surveying his handiwork with
pride.
“You didn’t kill him, did you?” Banks whisper-yelled,
looking worried as she crept over.
Michael and I followed.
She crouched down next to the guy, feeling for the pulse
on his neck.
After a pause, she pulled away, sighing with relief. “Okay,
good.”
“Baby, please.” Kai looked insulted.
“GGrab his feet,” I told Will as I flipped him over and took
his hands. “Let’s go.”
We carried him back beyond the tree line, Alex, Michael,
and Kai following, while Banks bent over, picking up the
heavy backpack off the ground as we passed.
I cocked an eyebrow at Michael. “You gonna make my
sister carry that?”
Or do we do all the work and you just watch?
He yanked the bag out of her hand, she made a face at him,
and we all scurried deeper into the woods and out of sight.
