He looked up, mind racing. "You can take her?"

Dean shook his head, while Dillan shrugged, neither of them meeting his eyes, and Cesar felt a tremor of worry in his gut. He had never seen or heard of a time when the twins had disagreed on anything. The woman's soldier must truly be strong.

"Not by ourselves," Dillan stated finally, and Cesar saw his grimace when he moved his hand to deflect a determined fly. The injury to his arm was obviously bad.

That was it, Cesar decided. It was her man they wanted, her soldier. Surely he was the one responsible. Then why say a woman? That was worse. Either way, it came down to revenge.

"So, this is why you've come back."

It wasn't a question and he looked at them with cool, dark eyes, thinking it wouldn't hurt to agree…for now. "Mine during the day, yours at night?"

They both nodded eagerly at the lie and Cesar grinned, his gold front tooth flashing. "It will be good. We will lay a trap, kill her soldier and have her."

"That's not good enough."

"She knows things."

Cesar fingered the handle of his hoja, hating it that they were always so disrespectful.

The injured brothers waited for him to pull the knife and hand over his camp. Either way, they would lead these men against the Witch.

"You have a plan?" the Slaver asked finally, eyes full of controlled anger. Anyone else, he would have already challenged, but against these two vicious assassins, he wasn't sure he could win with only the blade he was sitting on, and a hangover. He was too far from his gun.

"Yes." Dean's hot eyes lingered on the chained girl, but he was aware that the evil Mexican was now an enemy instead of an ally and would need to be handled as such.
"We'll follow her, see where she's headed. If it's a good place, we can take shelter there for the winter."

"You are estupido to let her reach familia. Then you face dos brujas, yes?"

The twins were clearly pissed at the insult, had killed for less, and Cesar kept his hand on the knife, thinking he would at least be able to take one of them with him.

"It's better to control them both, than to have the missing one ambush us, and we can't find the other until she does."

"How will you get them once she reaches the safety of this camp?"
