"Where's my purse?" I straightened when Doc and Ed came into the living room from the kitchen.

"Left it in my truck," Doc answered.

"Got it." Ed raced outside.

Doc sat on the other end of the couch and Allan came into the living room from the other hallway and tossed a pair of swim trunks at me.

"These should fit. There's a drawstring so you can tighten them."

"Thanks, Allan."

"Sure." He smiled.

Ed returned and handed me my purse. I dug out my phone and charger and Doc pointed at an outlet when I looked around.

"Thanks."

Ed took my spot on the couch when I got up and plugged my phone in. Amazingly, the screen wasn't cracked. It was going to take a few minutes of charging before I would be able to turn it on.

"Shoot, I need to warn Victoria about Ash." With everything else, I had forgotten.

"Ash?" Allan asked.

"He's in some of our classes. Apparently, he's some sort of mage. Anyway, he was the one who took Alex out. I didn't see him after that, but he's obviously with the mafia."

"Think he'll come back to classes?" Ed shifted on the couch.

"I doubt it," Doc answered.

"It's weird. Alex said he was a friend when we all went out last weekend."

"Some friend," Ed muttered.

I shrugged and hit the power button on my phone. It chimed and went into its startup sequences. "I didn't really think of this, but I guess I'm lucky I had cell reception last night. I didn't have much."

"The coverage in the valley is pretty good," Doc explained. "Guys, why don't you go hook up the boat while Sofia checks her phone."

Ed and Allan sprang up and went outside.

As soon as my phone was powered on, I texted Victoria to stay away from Ash and then checked my other messages. It looked like I had a couple of voicemails and some texts. I looked the texts first. They were all from Alex trying to get in touch with me. So were the voicemails.

I didn't listen to them after checking the phone number they had come from, I just called him after a hesitant glance at Doc.

He watched me, expression neutral.

"Sofia!" Alex said when he picked up. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. You?"

"Yeah, whatever they did to me, I woke up crammed in the back seat of my car parked on the side of the road. I tried to call when I woke up, but your phone was off. I was worried."

"Did you call the cops or anything?"

He hesitated. "No."

"Right. Clearly, you're in on the whole magical community thing then, or you would have."

Doc raised an eyebrow, but he nodded, smiling. He had known.

"Well, yeah. Since you never brought it up, I didn't think you wanted to talk about it. Some people don't."

That seemed reasonable enough. I knew Doc could hear Alex's side of the conversation and shot him a questioning look.

He shrugged. I took it to mean he thought it could be reasonable, too.

"Where are you? Do you need me to come get you?"

"I'm safe.
