Chapter 24

We were a few miles out of town when Mercutio seemed to want me to turn left onto a dirt road. “That’s not the way, Merc. We’ve got to take care of Bryn.”

Merc stood with his front paws on the dashboard, watching the road go by.

I drove another mile and spotted Jordan’s rented convertible behind us.

Shoot! “What’s he doing back there?”

Bryn licked his lips and pulled the blanket around him tighter.

“Who?”

“Jordan Perth.”

Bryn checked his side mirror. “He either suspects you’re in the car, or he wants to talk to me.”

“With the tinted windows, he can’t know I’m in here. I’m going to ignore him.”

“If we’re going to Leon’s Spring, he’ll see you when we get out. Why don’t you take me back? I’ll have Steve drive me.”

“No, I don’t want to waste any more time. I want you back to normal so you can do research and make strategies and, more importantly, so that if we need to share power to cast some save-the-town spells, you’re up for it.”

The corner of his mouth edged up. “So you’re just defying the Conclave to save me, so I can be a power source for you? Thought you were one of the good guys.”

I laughed softly, recognizing my own complaint. “Well, now you know better.” I parked near the path that led to the spring.

“Stay in the car for a minute,” I said, thinking Bryn looked exhausted and would be better off keeping warm under the blanket.

“No. Let me talk to him alone. He may not be looking for you, and I might be able to get rid of him.”

“But—”

He held out a hand to silence me. “When things settle down, I’m going to teach you to play chess.”

“Huh?”

“The game helps train the mind to think several steps ahead of what’s happening. Strategic planning is key in this life.”

“Hmm. Was it you or was it me who thought of bringing you to the spring to fix you?”

He smiled. “Fair enough.” He slid a hand over and pulled my head to his. The kiss was brief, but I was glad to feel the power arc between us. “You’re chewing through small doses of poison very fast,” he said. “The bit I gave you at the house, I can’t even taste it.” He pushed his door open and got out, leaving it ajar. “What can I do for you?” Bryn said to Jordan, who was out of his car and approaching us. Bryn raised his hand.

“That’s close enough,” he said. “What do you want?”

“What are you doing out here, Lyons?”

“I left something out here a few nights ago. I’m here to retrieve it. And you?”

“Who’s your driver?”

I saw Jordan slide his wand out in a subtle move that Bryn, on the opposite side of the car, probably couldn’t see. Was he going to attack Bryn? That seemed extreme and unlikely, but should I let him get the chance? Bryn had said that strategic planning was a good thing.

In a couple of steps, Jordan was next to my door and I flung it open, knocking him flat.
