him and tucked her feet beneath her. “So, what prompted this visit? You could have returned the coat to me at our team meeting later tonight.”
His eyes were as black as the night sky behind him. “I could have, but I didn’t want your guns going through the normal distribution process. The odds don’t seem to be in favor of you receiving working equipment. I’m hoping to change that.”
She arched an eyebrow. “After tonight, I’m certain the malfunctions aren’t an accident.”
He reached over and pulled the demon-blaster from her coat. “No, there was no accident. Midnight and I inspected your weapons piece by piece and found where three of them had been sabotaged. Your primary weapon had been set to allow only two shots. Whoever did this was smart. They knew it would give you a sense of security.”
She glanced at the weapon then back at Thor’s face. His expression sent a shiver down her spine, making her very glad she wasn’t the one he was angry with. “That’s the exact number of rounds I got off before it misfired. Had my backup weapon been impaired?”
Thor returned the gun to its pocket in her coat. “The firing mechanism on your backup had been disabled. You wouldn’t have gotten off a single shot.”
Kendra swallowed hard at the thought. “Good thing I pulled my blade.”
“It’s a damn good thing.” Thor’s voice was rough.
Dread settled in the pit of her stomach; he wasn’t telling her everything. “Was anything else messed with?”
Thor took another drink, draining the glass before he answered. “The timer on all of your Particle Grenades had been reset to zero.”
“If I’d used them I’d have been incinerated instantly.” She sat perfectly still absorbing this new bit of information. She wrapped her arms about her midsection. Her close call with death had been a lot closer then she’d realized. “Who wants to kill me, Thor?”
“Hell if I know, and it’s all I can seem to think about.”
