CHAPTER 17

“Wake up! Wake up!”

I awoke to a clawed hand on my shoulder, shaking me rather violently. I expected to open my eyes and see Revana, but a panicked Irina was there instead. “W-Wha…”

“Hurry! Get up! I’ve got you some new clothes here. Inquisitors are on their way.”

A pit of dread dropped into my stomach. “They’re coming here? Now?”

“Mhmm.” She ripped the covers off me, mom-style, and pointed to a pile of clothes on a table beside the bed. “We need to get ready.”

I rolled out of bed and did the best I could to push the sleep away that was still clinging pretty hard to my eyes. I still wasn’t completely at ease with the whole ‘no modesty’ thing, but I stripped out of my sleeping clothes without a second thought and started dressing as fast as I could. “Do they announce when they’re coming, or what?”

Irina laughed nervously. “Oh my no, but we’ve got ways to find out, and we just got tipped off. Reva’s already up, and I need you to head down to the sub basement and help Vashe.”

Great. Being woken up by surprise and then having to deal with Vashe. The last two minutes had really sucked and it didn’t seem like the rest of the day was going to be any better. I glanced out the window to see soft light filtering in between the buildings. “Is it morning now?”

“Mhmm. You slept all yesterday afternoon and through the night. Although it is pretty early still. The Inquisitors like to show up at inopportune times, you know.” Yesterday Irina had been so calm and in control, but now her lips were pressed into a thin line and she kept looking out the window and seemed ready to bolt at a second’s notice.

The clothes were pretty nice: a pair of dark pants, a dark green shirt that fit surprisingly well, and a leather vest to go over it. I wasn’t really into vests, but when in Rome. My boots from earlier were also there, cleaned and polished to a shine. As soon as I had them on, Irina practically pushed me out of the room and down the stairs. It took me a minute to remember which doors went all the way down, but I found my way to the second basement and called out, “Vashe?”

“Finally! Get in here!”

Her voice came from a hallway of doors and I again had to check a few before I found her.

She was pulling a huge sheet off a big, rectangular…something. “What the hell is that?”

“Stupid questions later, just help me get it into the hall.”

It turned out to be a huge section of wall, cut stone in the same style as the hallway, but it was only a few inches thick. I just kept my mouth shut and helped her drag it out of the room. Despite how thin it was, it was still a total pain to move at all, so we scooted it, inch by inch from the back of the storeroom.
