41 " You’re the fucking good guys, "
― Abigail Roux , The Archer
42 " Brandt Everett was certifiably crazy so far as Shawn was concerned, and to keep him under control they had to find something the man liked more than blowing shit up. "
43 " Get back in your sheets!” Brandt shouted "
44 " He was such a bastard. Maybe he should have Remy shoot him again, just for good measure. "
45 " You all know what Class Seven does?” “You blow shit up,” Travers supplied in a long-suffering voice that drew snickers from the rest of the group. “All kinds of shit,” Everett growled with relish, the gleam returning to his eyes in full force. "
46 " Well, fuck,” Brandt whispered. All that rational thinking had to be thrown out the window. This was why he liked irrational thinking so much better. It took less effort and the conclusions you came to were harder to refute. "
47 " Waking up on fire was not high on Nikolaus’s to do list. "
48 " Besides, Shawn was right, was he not? Brandt is quite–""Crazy.""'Attractive' was what I was going for.""He made Carl scream.""I heard.""Carl. The very large assassin who could kill me with a button and a teapot.""Yes""Made him scream like a little girl.""Sí, eso–""Repeatedly.""Nikolaus! "
49 " Carl reckoned that it was none of his affair until his life was on the line. Even if these two blokes shagged each other senseless every chance they got, he didn’t see how that really affected him. "
50 " I don't see how Carl doing unnatural things to be would be at all bad," Remy mused. "I'd even 'baaa' for him," he added, making a fair imitation of a sheep's bleating as he spoke. "
51 " I've never had a price on my head, I wonder how much I'd be worth?""A pinecone or two, I'd wager," Shawn murmured. "
52 " Lies and the truth both have one thing in common, Shawn,” Remy said in a low, steady voice. “They both have their consequences. "
53 " Did you set this fire?" Thiago demanded angrily."If I had started this fire, there would just be a crater," Brandt answered heatedly, "and none of us would be sitting here breathing in all this lovely smoke because I would have made damn sure to blow us all to Hell!" he shouted. It was the first time Thiago had seen the big man perturbed, and he instantly regretted his hasty accusation. "So no, I didn't start this fire, but fuck you very much, all the same. "
54 " No!” Shawn whispered harshly. “If you want to break and run then that’s your affair. But I’ve never known you to cower in the corner when there was a perfectly good opportunity to get yourself killed lurking around the next turn. "
55 " Remy looked down at the blood disinterestedly and clucked his tongue. “Maudit! I just stole this shirt,” he murmured as he pulled at the sleeve and examined the growing stain. “Stitches must have come out. "
56 " I’ve never had a price on my head, wonder how much I’d be worth?” “A pinecone or two, I’d wager,” Shawn murmured. "
