The man stared at Vanessa for a moment, and then, to everyone's surprise, he laughed. A deep, ugly laugh that echoed off the walls.
"Did she just say she won't do it?" he said, almost amused.
Before she could move, his hand shot forward. He grabbed her by the hair, yanking her head back so hard her neck screamed. Then he dragged her forward like she was nothing more than a rag doll.
"Let go!" she snapped, clawing at his wrist, but his grip was iron.
He didn't let go. Instead, he hurled her straight into the vault door.
Bang!
The impact rattled her bones. Vanessa hit the cold steel and fell to her knees with a groan. Her head spun, pain ringing through her back and shoulders. She looked up at him, eyes narrowing. The strength in that throw was not normal.
He wasn't just some big thug.
Her chest tightened with realization. Shit. He's evolved.
