Prolog
“Don’t let the vault close.” Jaden could not believe this was happening. Watching the vault door slam into place. “Are you stupid, how can you let it close? Are you just stupid, we’re trapped now.”

For shot periods of time she could handle it. The unknown was already raising her anxiety. “Not like I could have stopped it from here. You seem to be pinning me to the floor remember.

“How dare you.”
“How dare me. I have every right. You act like you are better then anyone around here. You have not seen nearly enough in your little life to even judge me.” Stopping her hand before she hit him again, “I also know that Duncan hired you sight unseen.” Reaching up he pulled away the band confining her hair. “I also know I have wanted to do this just to shut that mouth of yours.” There was no chance to steal her emotions.
