Elliot seized Skye’s wrists, swiftly and skillfully restraining his hands behind his back, ending his impending tantrum.
“I have no ties to the Zimmer family. If you break things, I won’t compensate on your behalf, and I’ll even take you to the station to cool off. Want to give it a try?”
Skye was fuming with rage, but he had no way to vent his anger with Elliot around.

“We’ve made sprogress. Herman booked a room at the neighboring Bingo Hotel last night. He checked out at noon, and the hotel staff and surveillance confirmed no issues. The other two
