Saved at Sunrise (10 page)
Burnett glanced briefly at Kylie. “He has been spotted.”
“Spotted by whom?” her grandfather asked, disrespect coloring his tone. “The FRU?
Like we would believe them?”
“I see that you have reservations,” Burnett said, his words slipping from thinned
lips pursed in what appeared to be anger. “But you must understand—”
Her grandfather’s face grew red with fury. “You dare to ask for my understanding?
What I understand is that you and your kind killed my wife. Because of you, I never
knew my son. What I understand…” he pounded his chest with his fist, “is now you wish
to do the same to my granddaughter!”
Kylie saw Burnett try to hold himself in check, but he couldn’t hide the bright anger
filling his eyes. She had to intervene, but how? Unfortunately, Kylie had no time
to come up with a plan. Her grandfather took a step toward Burnett.
“Stop.” Kylie attempted to move between the two men. But too late.
No one stopped.
Her grandfather swung his fist and Burnett took the blow squarely on the jaw.
While not nearly as young as Burnett, her grandfather didn’t lack strength, and Burnett
hit the ground. The sound of pure fury leaked from someone, and Kylie assumed it was
Burnett. Before a second passed, her grandfather dove on top of Burnett and the scuffle
continued.
Derek barreled forward, but two male chameleons appeared out of thin air and grabbed
him by each arm.
How had things gone so wrong, so fast?
