Sera didn't wait for the glossy woman to try and come up with a response.
She turned out of the leather store and headed down the main hall of the mall. The others fell into place without a word. Zubair was just a fraction of a step in front of her, Elias, a step behind, Alexei pace with her on her left, and Lachlan stayed close enough on her right to keep her from trouble.
Or to keep trouble from her.
Luci kept close to Sera's knee, his head level with her ribs.
"You only get two stores," the glossy woman called again. "You have entered one, and your purchases have been recorded." She waved her hand to the shy woman with the binder that was frantically writing something down.
"That leaves you with only one store left. Choose wisely, it is a matter of life and death. If you want some advice, don't hesitate to ask. I am more than happy to help you. After all, you wouldn't want to be the one responsible for killing the men at your side."
