“Huff, be careful, sweetie. Your brother isn’t himself anymore. We think he’s snapped.”
Snapped? More like he was ass-raped by a power-hungry demon who made Kyle his man puppet. “I’ll be careful, Mom.”
We end the call, and my heart starts pumping like crazy. I’m about to lose it. I can feel the anger pushing up from my stomach, into my chest. If Kyle had River locked up in that place, then I know two things. One, they’ve sedated her again, and two, this is a trap.
If I were them and wanted to trap me, I’d be ready with guns. They’ll kill me without a thought and then dissect me.
Not if I tell Kyle that Morris cracked the code, and I have the only vial.
No, no. If I do that, I might get away with River, but he’ll use Mom and Dad to get that vial. My best option is to do a little surveillance tonight. Zip in and zip out a few times. Figure out where they have River. If I’m lucky, I can avoid Kyle and his men altogether.
Holy shitballs. That’s a lot of feds.I zipped to the rooftop one building over from the hospital to get a look around the medical complex. It’s nighttime, but from this vantage, I spot fifteen cars stationed at various spots surrounding the hospital.
Did they think I’d come on foot?
But if there are fifteen cars outside with two agents each, I can only imagine how many are inside. Fifty? Eighty? My chances of getting in and out aren’t good. Now I really don’t know what to do because as far as I know, I heal fast, but I’m not bulletproof.
I zip out of there back to my island hideaway and try Luna again.
“Huff! Ohmygod,” she answers. “My house was raided by the FBI today.”
“Let me guess; Kyle threatened you with being arrested for harboring a fugitive.”
“That, and he wasn’t happy about the leaked conversation. He said, and I quote, ‘I’m going to make your life a living hell, and when you finally die, I’ll make your hell so hot, you’ll be a sizzling pork rind for the rest of eternity.’”
“Original.”
“I’m sure he’s watching my house and work, and all my lines are tapped. Even this one, so be careful what you say.”
“I’m really sorry I got you into this, Luna.”
“I’m not. It’s been great for my career, and I really meant what I said, Huff. You are exactly what the world needs right now—someone to stand up to all the Kyles.”
“I don’t know anymore. Every time I think I’ve got a handle on the situation, it gets worse. Everyone I know and care about is under attack.” Just like I predicted.
“Nobody said it would be easy, babe, but that doesn’t mean you’re any less important to the world.”
“All I see are a bunch of people online, fangirling over our kiss.”
“You need to take a better look.”

What’swiththis guy? I mean, there’s being humble, and then there’s being blind. Does Huff really not have a clue what he’s started here? He’s become a damned movement. #JustLove #MrLoveJusticeJunkies #MrLoveDateMePlease #IwanttolickLove #UltraMegaLoveForever.
People are sick of the corruption and powermongers, and the fact that Huff would expose his brother’s disgusting behavior speaks to his braveness.
Huff will never know a moment’s peace for as long as he lives, and the fact that he’s fighting to stay alive while also keeping himself out of the hands of the warmongering establishment? It’s inspiring. He’s fighting for all of us, and in today’s world, it’s beginning to feel like a rarity.
Add to all that his corny name and smokin’-hot body? Seriously. Has he taken a look in the mirror lately? The kissable lips are the only thing soft about him. He’s ripped from his chiseled jawline and handsome face down to his toes. It’s not a surprise that the world is putting its full weight behind love.Just Mr. Love.
I can literally see this scandal—which exposed his brother’s unconscionable actions, allowing millions of people to believe they were poisoned—turning Huff into something so much more. Not a movement, but a revolution. Against tyranny and hate. Against overreaching governments. Against anyone striving to rob the masses of peace of mind and freedom. Because, at the end of the day, that’s what this thing is all about.
The government wants Huff so they can make more. Men obedient to them. Think of the consequences. At first they’ll say it’s justified to protect our national interests. But when other nations are subjected to our army of Huffs, which will no doubt include spies, saboteurs, and agents, they won’t be happy or feel secure.
At home, anyone who questions if this is the right move for humanity will be crushed. Fear will become our new religion, and there’ll be no one to stop them. Because no one can stop someone like Huff from coming into their home in the middle of the night and taking them away for one wrong word. Or taking their children because of their “wrongthink.” We’d be living in constant fear.
Until one day…some other country figures out how Huff was made. Then it’ll be our country dealing with the repercussions of revenge. More fear.
