The stranger's mouth opened and he made a tiny sucking noise. But even though his face looked like he was screaming, he couldn't seem to use his voice.
Zev got both hands back on the shirt again a moment later and was growling. "Were you just called in, or were you posted here earlier? Blink once for a hot call, twice for a routine."
But the guy didn't blink at all. Sasha watched as the twisted shirt seemed to sink into his skin and one of his eyes bloomed red as a blood vessel in it broke.
"Zev, you're killing him!"
"It's him or you, Sash. He's here for you."
She gasped and stared at the man, whose eyes snapped back and forth between her and Zev, his face swelling. Then he began to shake.
"Did Nick assign you? Blink once for yes, twice for no."
