Arad looked at Loki, "Is the Queen ready to meet us?"
"No, it'll be a while. You'll wait in a private quarter at the royal keep." As Loki replied, Arad smiled and looked at Malina, "Seems like we have time.
Arad wrapped his arm around Malina's shoulder, trying to teleport with her. He couldn't.
Linda's presence in his shadow felt like a heavy ball of steel chaining him to his place. If he wanted to teleport away, he had to carry her with him.
Arad pushed a second time, then, at the third time, managed to whisk her away with them using Vorvadoss's eldritch magic.
Loki remained frozen in place, unable to believe that Arad teleported away, even with Linda still weighing down on him. He was about to order the car to stop and get all of the police force to follow him, but Alcott yawned.
"So? When will we get to the keep?"
That was a clear threat, and Loki gulped, "We need to catch Arad first. I can't let him roam free."
