“Enough.” Kellach jumped in front of her, his right shoulder slamming into her cheekbone. Stars exploded behind her eyes, and she hit the ground. He groaned, and the scent of burning flesh filled the rainy evening.

She blinked, her brain fuzzing and her body going numb. He’d saved her. Unconsciousness tried to claim her, but she fought against the darkness with her remaining strength.

Kellach shoved to his feet, his back to her, and balls of what truly looked like green fire shot out from him. The fire hit each of the men dead center. They both flew back about three yards and crashed to the ground.

Lex groaned as rain continued to beat down on her face. She couldn’t pass out. If she passed out, she’d be dead. Her hand trembled on the asphalt. Where was her gun?

Kellach turned and started toward her—a massive hunter in a darkened alley.

“No,” she whispered just as the darkness won. The last thought she had as she succumbed to oblivion was that she was about to be killed by a predator with the face of a fallen angel.
