"At a bar in the Tenderloin. Malcolm knows it."

"Malcolm's not here." She outlined what happened, and Lumi made noises of dismay.

"I thought I felt something," he said miserably. "I felt him being pulled, but the bond he has on me didn't break. He's still in the city, I'm sure of it."

"Yes, but where? And the white dragon's on the loose. We need to find him, fast. Where is this bar?" Even as she spoke, she trotted to the bus stop that would take her in the right direction.

"It's called Gary's and it's off Hyde Street. But you're not going in there by yourself. You shouldn't even walk past the place by yourself."

"I'm a witch, Lumi, no one will touch me. If you're so concerned get down there and meet me. I want to talk to Axel, pin him to the wall if I have to. He knows a hell of a lot more than he lets on."

She clicked off the phone over Lumi's protests. As the bus rolled toward her, she punched another number into her phone and waited for Caleb's roaring voice. She needed as many allies as she could get. But neither Caleb nor Lisa answered. She left a message for one of them to contact her as soon as they could.

The bus ride was interminable. Though she reasoned that it would take her longer to return to where she garaged the car, drive downtown, find a place to park, and then find the bar, it didn't help her impatience with the crawling bus. It was full and stopped at every corner, people taking their time getting on and off. Two stops before the one she needed, a large group of ganglike kids piled on and the bus driver refused to budge until they settled down.

Saba leapt to her feet and elbowed her way off, tossing a tranquilizing spell over her shoulder at the kids. The bus began moving as she jogged away, but she knew she'd move the last two blocks faster on her own feet.

Lumi was nowhere in sight when she reached the bar called Gary's, but she plunged inside, peering into the gloom. She realized instantly why Lumi advised her not to come here alone—only men sat at the bar and tables and none looked like milk-and-cookies types.

Half a dozen toughs with scruffy beards filled the back room, straightening up from pool tables as she hurried inside.

"Hi, sweetheart," one called. "Looking for someone?"

Saba ignored him, searching the room for Axel, whom she did not see. Why was everyone suddenly so elusive?

A man came in behind her, but it wasn't Lumi. She didn't recognize the wiry man at first, but he stopped behind her and said, "Don't worry, it's Wallace."

She remembered the two homeless men near her office building that Malcolm recruited to watch over her. Wallace had had a bath and a meal or two since yesterday, but still he didn't look very protective.
