Chapter Ninety-Six
Triggers


Sawyer sat in between Scott and Malia in Argent's car while Argent and Lydia sat in the front seat. Sawyer's phone buzzed, making her pull it out to see a text from Liam, "It worked." She said, making them look over at her.

"It's about time." Malia said and went to open the door but Scott grabbed her arm, "Wait." He said before they both listened for a moment. "I hear them, too." Malia said, making Lydia raise her eyebrows, "Hear what?" She asked.

"Heartbeats." Scott said and Sawyer groaned dramatically while dropping her head back against the seat, "How many?" Argent asked. "Ten?" Scott said unsure and Malia listened, "More." She said and Sawyer sighed again before sitting up.

"So are we breaking in, or not?" She asked, "Not. The armory should be empty by now." Argent said and Malia scoffed. "We can take down a few Hunters if we have to." Malia said and Argent turned to her, "We're dealing with a dozen well-armed Hunters who have orders to kill you on sight." He said, making them all glance at each other. "Then how are we supposed to get inside?" Malia asked.

After a few minutes of talking Argent sighed and turned the car on making Malia quickly shoot forward and turn it off. "Gerard thinks we're gone. It's a good plan." Malia said and Sawyer shrugged, "It's our only plan." She said and Argent sighed. "And it's not working." He said and Malia looked at him crazy, "We can still do this!"

A sound of glass cracking made both Lydia and Sawyer look at the window while the rest still talked.

"Let's vote."

"Guys, we just need to give Liam and Theo more time."

Lydia glanced back at Sawyer who looked at her before nodding at the window she saw a crack that wasn't there before. Lydia reached out to touch it and the crack grew bigger.

"We have ten minutes. Ten minutes before Gerard's people flag this vehicle. Once that happens, we'll be seen as a potential threat."

"Then what?"
