Chapter 30

“…do?” Jayde finished her sentence as they appeared in one of the grey rooms in the Passageways, the midday sun that had been beating down on them a second ago no longer to be seen.

Finn immediately stumbled and clung to the wall, looking as though he was going to pass out, his face a sickly grey color.

“Hey, man,” Ethan said, putting a hand on his shoulder. “You okay?”

“Finn,” Tess said, going to him at once and getting his arm around her shoulders and easing him down onto the grey carpet that covered the floor.

“What’s wrong with him?” Jayde said.

Tess looked up at her. “Long story,” she said as if she expected Jayde to freak out at any minute.

Ethan speculated she’d be waiting a long time for that woman to freak. She seemed grounded and chill. She wasn’t going to get bent out of shape over a little magic.

“Wait,” Jayde said as she began to look around. “Where did the Omahk go? How are we inside when we were outside only a second ago? And where are all those soldiers with guns?”

“They’re Hunters,” Ethan said, knowing this would only confuse her further but unable to resist correcting her. It really irritated him that those Hunters out there were running errands for the church, collecting objects and people instead of getting out there, kicking ass, and protecting the humans the way they were supposed to.

“Hunting what?” Jayde said in complete disbelief. “I know hunters from back home and they don’t carry rocket launchers around in the back of their SUVs. Plus, they wear the required bright orange vests.”

“Finn, are you okay?” Tess said, her eyes worried when Finn didn’t answer. He stared at the floor and then closed his eyes. “Finn.”

She shook him a little. Finn’s eyes fluttered open and then closed again.

Ethan frowned, crouching down beside the Fae he was starting to consider a friend. He knew Finn might not see him that way. Not yet. But he liked Finn. He was a good man. He ought to have people like Finn around him, instead of the usual groupie types that usually wanted to hang around with him.

This gave him a pang of worry about his career. But if anything was wrong, Doyle would have called him. His friend had a plan to reconstruct his public image after the model-hot tub fiasco, which involved a ton of volunteering, photo ops, donations, and strategic posts on social media. Doyle was certain he could get things back on track as long as Ethan cooperated and did exactly as he said. And Ethan had promised he would, as soon as he helped Tess and Finn out.

He might not be planning to tour anymore. But he still wanted his career on track. He would still be writing and recording. And he needed people to want to listen to his music. Otherwise, what was the point? He thought about calling to find out how things were going back home with the career resurrection. But he knew that Doyle would call if there was anything urgent, so he didn’t need to be concerned.
