Eliza ducked behind a dumpster outside the club. Mae and Teel left the party early and stood outside the backdoor talking. Ares disappeared in another direction without explaining his side of the plan. All he said was to have faith and watch them.

“How long do we have to keep this up?” Mae's voice carried much farther in the alley.

“Until the whole planet learns who has the power. We have to get rid of those damn hunters first.”

Eliza heard Mae sigh, “I have better men lined up to play, so why are you better than them? I don’t even care about Eliza and her little boyfriend. I already ruined her life.”

“And we can ruin it again along with my brother. Those men you have don’t have the money or security you gain from the Scorpions, Mae. You have power with us.”

“I expect a lot of money if I have to act like I like you.”

Terrance chuckled, “But you do like me. How can you resist me after last night?”

Mae giggled and Eliza heard the faint sounds of kissing. That woman knew of nothing else except drugs, sex, and money. The hunter felt her blood boil remembering how close Mae was to having her way with Ares.

The sound of tires crunching asphalt grabbed Eliza's attention. A sleek black car pulled up to the curb on the street behind her. The window rolled down to reveal Ares disguised as a chauffeur. He nodded toward the car, signaling for her to get in. With light steps, she snuck into the car and gently shut the door. Ares pulled up further for Teel to see.

Although the windows were tinted and dark out, Eliza watched Teel quit making out with Mae to head to the car. Mae went back inside, but Teel kept walking. Eliza prepared to grab the man as soon as he started climbing in. She was thankful Ares turned off the ambient lighting in the back. The door opened, Teel started to climb in, and Eliza smashed his head into the doorframe. She pulled the rest of his body inside the vehicle and shut the door, Ares' signal to start driving.

The first thing Eliza did was search the unconscious man's pockets. She found his phone, which she promptly destroyed with the heel of her boot, his wallet, and his pistol. After hiding all his things on her person, she stripped him of his clothes. Soon Teel was lying on the floorboard in nothing but his boxers. Eliza tossed the clothing to the front seat before getting Teel tied up and gagged. She also covered his eyes with a dirty rag she found under the passenger seat. Once she was done, she climbed over the center console into the front seat. She shoved the man's clothes at her feet.

“I’m leaving it to you to make sure he isn’t hiding something in his boxers,” she said.

Ares chuckled, “Where we're taking him, they'll check every crevice of his body for anything.”

“We’re not going to Mac?”

“He’ll meet us there. This is a job much bigger than the police department.”

Eliza's eyes lit up and she smirked, “We’re going to Earth again.”

“Bingo.”

Terrance Logan woke up in a tiny, dark, and isolated cell. Eliza Kane was standing at the barred door, her eyes filled with rage. Ares Matthews stood beside her with a similar look, except his eyes held a deep sadness.

Teel chuckled while he struggled to sit up, “That was an impressive move back there, little lady. Unfortunately for the both of you, I have people on the way.”

Eliza smirked, “Actually, they’re not.”

“We left your belongings behind for them to find, but you are secure where the Scorpions have no power,” Ares said. “They won’t find you.”

The prisoner’s smile wiped from his face.

“You have put me through Hell, put us through Hell. Now it’s my turn,” Eliza scowled. “We’ll see if Mae makes it this far.”

Teel stumbled up to the bars, gripping them tightly. “Father won’t let you get away with this, Ares. He'll come looking for me and finally end you and your little girlfriend.”

Eliza hit the bars and snarled. Teel staggered back. “The Scorpions will die before they can put a hand on us. You’re alone, Terrance.”

She left and didn’t take another look back at the man. Ares frowned at his brother as he followed behind Eliza. While Teel screamed at the hunters, Ares lifted one hand in the air to wave at him. It was the only thing he could do to avoid looking back. He didn’t hate Terrance, but he hated what he did, what he’d done to him and to Eliza. Maybe there would be a chance for redemption for him, but Ares wasn’t going to hold his breath. His half-brother was dead to him.

Mac’s arms were crossed over his chest when the hunters exited the cell block. He saw the rage in Eliza’s eyes. He patted Ares on the shoulder, “You all right, son?”

“I will be. He deserves worse than this, but he’s still family.”

“They’ll take care of him, Ares. He won’t have a good time here, but he won’t be neglected. He’ll be nice and secure on Earth.”

“Keep the same guard on him. No one else,” Eliza told one of the Earth officers. “He’s cunning and may have another way of contacting the Scorpions. It won’t be easy for them to get over here, but it’s not impossible. Anyone suspicious could be one of theirs. Don’t hesitate to take them down. But leave Mr. Logan alive at all costs, all right?”

Ares smiled softly at her when she glanced his way. The officer nodded and went to relay the message. Eliza sighed and slumped over against the wall. She stared at the ceiling while Mac rubbed her arm.

“You guys did good. You’re another step closer to ending this madness. Don’t hesitate to contact me or any other officer if you need help. We’ll be there.”

“Just don’t get yourself killed,” Eliza said.

Donovan laughed, “I should be saying that to the both of you. You’re going into the front lines.”

“But we’ve got each other. Right, Lizzy?” Ares smirked at the shorter hunter.

She smirked back, “Right.”
