Fallen Into Hell: Fallen: Book 2, Layna Snow [the mitten read aloud .TXT] 📗

be back for a while. It has been months now, and it’s only now starting to get going. Do you want to talk to Gage? He was left in charge.” The man in front of them made kakis look casual, with a thin sweater on top. As if he needed it in this kind of warmth.

This dude was a douche. Gage…well, he was something far worse.

Sin would rather avoid Gage if he could. That man had a stick up his ass. And if it had been another dude’s stick, Sin would have been fine with it—you know, to each their own and all that—but it wasn’t.

He was worse than Thane. At least Thane knew how to have a good time!

“Actually, we’d rather not. We just need to see some tech people and we’ll be gone. We’d have found what we needed and have been out of here by now but your secretary here wouldn’t let us go in and I don’t know what she is, but she certainly is powerful!”

“Excuse me! I’m the Grounds Manager, thank you very much! And if you hadn’t commented on my boobs I might have been nicer!” The shrill voice came from behind them, full of affront. She did have a splendid rack, though. Not as nice as Phie’s, but nice all the same.

“Adrian, you can’t just harass our management. You should also be careful not to insult Sirens in general. Not really good for your health.” Julian, a Lion-Shifter said, coming into the room next. “If you want to come with me, we can avoid Gage.”

“Too late. Sin, Thane. What do you want?” The gruff, commanding voice said, as a tall, muscular man came to stand behind Julian. Both men were above average height, but Gage took the cake. It probably didn’t help that he looked like a fighter while the golden Lion-Shifter looked like a model.

Gage had dark, shaggy hair. His face looked like a Greek God of War, all square and chiselled, and his body was no different. He held himself apart from everyone, but looked like he was on the edge of melting down.

Sin didn’t like him from the start!

“We just need information. I’ve told everyone here! All we need is the whereabouts of one woman, and then we’ll leave!” He said, through gritted teeth. He was almost at the end of his rope! Did he need to tell the whole world before he got any results?

“We needed the help you promised in your contract. You didn’t answer our summons, and as a result, we now have a corpse.” Gage glared at them both.

A corpse? Someone died? Shit!

“Well, he’s not exactly a corpse. He’s a Vampire.” Julian corrected. Which made things all the better. Sin wished he’d have been in on that! Sounded like a fun time.

“It’s the same thing.” Gage growled. “He died and he’s still useless! He refuses to train or eat. He’ll be dead soon, no matter what.”

Well, that sucked for them, but Sin had more important things to worry about. “Okie, so we didn’t get your message. Our phone was broken.” And to prove it, Sin pulled out the busted piece of plastic. It was probably a good thing too. Who would have known what would happen if someone got their Human hands on it, and all the information it had. They should probably be more careful in the future.

You careful? Okay, so that was laughable.

“We will make it up to you. We just need this information and-”

“No,” Gage interrupted. “We had a deal, you broke it. We do not need to do anything for you now. Just being here is against the rules. You needed to clear this with us ahead of time.”

Well, fuck. Sin looked to Thane who appeared annoyed and… thoughtful? Just what was going on in that old brain of his?

“So, you’re just not going to help us then?” He asked, looking towards the door.

The Berserker was in the way, but Sin would go around him. Like fuck if the man could stop him now.

Sin was pissed and would not stay in this shit house, with this assholes for any longer!

He moved to walk around the men, but stopped when Thane put a hand on his shoulder.

“Wait.” The man growled. But Sin didn’t want to wait. Didn’t want to listen to his friend.

I’m pissed at you too, Death!

“I didn’t say that we wouldn’t help you. We just don’t have to help you. Your contact was ripped up when you didn’t answer for 8 months. You’d need a new contract first.” Gage announced.

Of all the stupid things! This was just annoying the Hell out of Sin.

“Alright, then we need a new contract. Where do we sign?” Could they be any more pretentious? If all they needed was for Sin to sign again, then why go through all this crap. It was all for nothing!

“We aren’t offering you the same contract. You didn’t follow that one. We need something more from you.”

Was this some game? Why couldn’t the man just say what he meant? He knew Gage had no tact but Sin thought that he at least had some communication skill. Why would Axel leave this ass-colander in charge?

It had been way too long since Phie left.

They needed to get to her soon! It would have been over a month her time, although it was only about day in Hell, and then a day or so on Earth. She was probably getting on with her life now.

“Just say what you want! We need this ASAP!” No more bullshit!

“Alright, since you asked so nicely.” The sarcasm in the Berserker’s voice was clear. “We want you to sign on as part of the Hunters. Axel or I will be your commanders and you’ll have to come in regularly for meetings. You will be
