"Take a look around, Richard. ...Doesn't exactly look like we're in Kansas or even fuckin' Texas anymore, does it? The minute we tell a bunch of snakeheads that we're in charge, we wake up in some fuckin'--" Seth floundered a second for a word then quickly spat out, "--temple? With a goddamn choker around our necks that we can't get off!"
When in the face of something beyond his understanding, Seth Gecko turned into an intolerable prick. Seth would be damned before showing anyone a sign of fear. It appeared he was damned either way but wouldn't easily accept his fate. Whatever this fate seemed to be.
Yet it wasn't the worst fate he could imagine after everything they'd been through thanks to the culebras and their temple of doom. Kate was alive after everyone had been so sure she was dead. Richie's fucked up brain could've easily twisted the situation up in his mind but there was no mistaking Scott's or even Madrigal's behavior. The preacher's daughter shouldn't be alive.
"He used you to get to a blood well--culebra crack. Carlos finished you off. Scott couldn't save you. But we took care of--" Seth stopped, confused at the hate spewing from her eyes. The look almost winded him. He had done the very opposite of his idiot brother but she glared at him with disdain, not Richard.
Seth looked back to the younger Gecko with the same contempt that had been directed to him. "You know all the bullshit these people do. Figure it out!" His attention drew back to Kate who voiced wanting to wait and find the ranger. "The peacemaker's long gone. It isn't like he saved you, Princess. We need to get out of here before it's too late."
A hand raised to wipe at blood slowly trickling down his cheek. Seth used the back of his hand, giving the moisture a quick glance. His tension level rose even higher at the sight. If everyone around was a bloodsucker, he didn't have enough ammo save his ass or Kate's. The count was higher than at Jackknife Jed's. It was too much to put on himself and Richie but there was no way he'd let anything happen to Kate.
Again.
Maybe she was right. They could use The Peacekeeper's help. Yet no one in sight matched Ranger Gonzalez's description. Seth continued to stand protectively over Kate, unconsciously between her and everyone--even Richie. "It's never a good sign to wake up not knowing what the fuck happened or what's to come. Let's go!"
