Friday.... Sebastian dragged himself out of bed. He wasn’t tired; he just dreaded another day of reports and orders. Another day of tracking and responding to an increasingly invisible enemy. How nice it would be to just slip away! Alas, he didn’t have it in him, not even for James, to abandon the fight, to abandon a world he still felt most surely had abandoned him. If he did it, he wouldn’t be the man he was, and that’s really all there was to it. Damn it!
“It’s time to get up, baby,” he said, rubbing James’s shoulder and getting a smile.
“I know! I just wanted to stay like this as long as we could,” James replied, bringing a sigh to Sebastian’s lips. Reluctantly, they both got ready for their days. James gave Sebastian a quick wink over his shoulder as he popped in on Horatio, while Sebastian headed straight for his desk, and a never-ending flow of emails and messages.
No sign of Sekhmet. No sign of Aethon. No sign of Sammael. No new information about Chang’s operation. No idea about what to expect next. Damn it all! It had been almost a fucking week since they’d heard anything concrete about their enemies, and that had been to discover they had lost Sekhmet’s sarcophagus. Sammael could bide his time, planning and getting his ducks in a row: all Sebastian could do was prepare for God knows what! He knew he had to get ahead of this thing, but he had no clue how to do that.
When James, in the afternoon, announced that he and Avery were off to train with William, Sebastian knew what he had to do. “I’m coming with you,” he announced to James.
“Why?” James asked, confused.
“I need to talk to Chase,” Sebastian said.
James nodded. He knew how frustrated Sebastian had been by his inability to get a handle on Sammael. They met Avery by the door, but when the man moved to question him, Sebastian raised a hand and shook his head.

William, Chase and Matt got off the bus and ran to Chase’s house to get a snack. After they made their plans for the weekend, Matt went home and the boys changed into casual clothes.
William left Chase to meet Sam at the door, and together they walked out to his workshop. As they stepped through the door, Sam and William stopped laughing: their eyes zeroed in on Sebastian, who looked perturbed. “Sebastian?” William asked.
“William.... Could you ask Chase to come down here, please?” Sebastian asked.
“Why?” William asked, suspicion in his voice.
“We all need to talk.... About who Chase is,” Sebastian said gravely.
William nodded and left with a reluctant glance, but a few minutes later he returned with a smiling Chase, who greeted James, Avery and Sebastian with an excited hello and hugs.
“Since I saw you last, Sammael has made another move. Sekhmet has joined him, stolen from under our noses! We just don’t know what’s coming next, and I need to get ahead of him now. We’ve got to do something proactive.
