Dane
Dane couldn't understand why she was so angry. "I'm not looking for a fight, Lila. I'm trying to find out who's on the other side of this now, so—"
"You can't stop! You're going to get yourself all twisted up with these people—"
"No, Lila!" he roared. "I'm going to make sure I know who to avoid! The whole point is to not have to fight. I am so damn sick of fighting!"
She stopped, blinking at the rage that had snapped out of him so suddenly. He closed his eyes and let his head drop for a minute, breathing to get himself back under control. "I promise you," he growled, "I have no interest in ever seeing any of those people again. None. But knowing who the head of the snake is now will help me guard against them. And tell me the level of risk that they might come after me."
"You… You think they won't leave you alone?"
"I don't know, until I know who's on top."
