Niklosi's Nightmare (First Wave Book 10) Read Free

Nik
muttered as he kicked the body again, sending up more dust as the entire chest
collapsed to fine particles on the ground. “Now I have to deal with the human
law. Fuck you, fuck you very much!”
    “I said, put the weapon down and
step back. Now!” BJ yelled, moving around the hood of her car to stand a few
feet from the killer.
    This was hill country, and BJ was
the only police officer within sixty miles. She didn’t have much time to
control the situation before the evidence of the crime was carried away on the
wind. With no hope of backup close by, BJ stood her ground and aimed her weapon
with steady hands on the killer.
    Niklosi looked at the gun in his
hand and rolled his eyes as he holstered the weapon, unwilling to harm the
small human female who was just trying to do her job. He would never harm an
innocent if he didn’t have to, and he assumed that Decano or Traze would catch
up shortly and render her unconscious while she had her attention on him.
    “I have no beef with you, and this
will be short, so wait a minute,” Niklosi growled in irritation as he moved to
stomp on the pelvic area of the desiccated body.
    No body, no crime, no evidence , Nik
thought, figuring he could save them some time when his team caught up.
    BJ panicked as she watched her
evidence being destroyed before her eyes. Thinking fast, she holstered her gun
and grabbed her Taser as the man knelt down to the body.
    “Back the hell away!” BJ ordered as
she pointed the Taser at him.
    Niklosi laughed, bending his head
to concentrate on destroying the rest of the Relian body. He looked up when he
heard the pretty female come closer and was left speechless as two barbs
entered his forehead and 50,000 volts rocketed through his skull.
    Niklosi was thrown to his back by
the electrical current scrambling his brain and knocking out his beast. More
angry than injured, he yanked the offending barbs out of his head and sat up,
glaring daggers at the cheeky cop who’d shot him in the face.
    BJ felt terrible that she’d gotten
him in the forehead; she’d been aiming for his shoulder when he’d moved and
looked up, but it hadn’t affected him much either way. She honestly wasn’t too
surprised that the large killer was able to shake off the worst of the effects
of the Taser so quickly, but it still scared the hell out of her.
    The damn thing wasn’t made to take
out giants and this guy was huge. BJ grabbed her mace in a last ditch attempt
to subdue him before shooting him, and as he sat up and glared at her, she
maced him.
    Nik immediately covered his eyes
and began growling from the burning pain.
    “What the hell is wrong with you?”
Niklosi yelled out as his eyes burned and streamed water.
    BJ hurried around the man, grabbed
his gun from his holster, and threw it a few feet away. She slipped a zip tie
around his wrist and yanked his hand away from his face. By the time he
realized what she was doing, he was already in the heavy plastic zip ties and
rolled onto his stomach.
    “What the hell are you doing?”
Niklosi growled, yanking on the cuffs.
    Although he could break free,
Niklosi had no desire to harm or frighten her and still fully expected Decano
or Traze to show up any second and help. Besides, he wasn’t thrilled at the
thought of her shooting him with the gun.
    BJ ignored him and began patting
him down for more weapons and whatever he’d used to destroy the body. It took
several minutes before she was staring in awe at the pile of knives, throwing
daggers, guns, and a sword.
    A sword , she
thought in amazement.
    There was also an unusual milky
white stone that she put on top of a blade to make sure she didn’t lose it.
    “Honey, you’re going to be real
damn embarrassed when you have to let me go because you have nothing to hold me
on,” Niklosi warned her, hoping to convince the beautiful cop to let him go. 
    “Please stand up,” BJ said as she tugged
upwards on his bound hands.
    Normally BJ wouldn’t be quite
