Marta and I stood by the freight elevator in the Hub’s basement. By some miracle, Kane’s keycard still worked. The Hub really needed to tighten its security protocols.

Marta tapped a foot on the gray cement floor, as if saying, now what?

I lifted a hand, commanding silence, then centered myself. The master needed a moment to concentrate.

Exhaling, I took out my phone and searched my contacts. Finding the correct one, I pressed the call button.

Lockhart picked up after a few rings. “What?”

“It’s Maddie Dover.”

“I know who you are—I can read the screen of my phone. What do you want?”

“That’s rude.”

“I’m busy.”

“Fine, be like that, and I won’t tell you what I’ve discovered about the Skull of Souls.”

Marta arched her brows, impressed. As she should be.

“You’ve found the Skull?” Lockhart asked, suddenly sharp.

I harrumphed.

There was a pause, then, “What have you discovered?”

“Hmm-hmm.”

“Please.” It sounded like his teeth were about to break.

“Can you meet me?” I asked.

“Why? Say it over the phone.”

“I’m not sure I should.”

“My phone’s secured.”

“Mine isn’t.”

“God, you’re annoying. All right. Meet me at the shop.”

I toed the floor. “I’m down in my office of the Hub.”

“You have an office?”

“Yup. Take the freight elevator to the basement.”

His tone became suspicious. “Just come up to the shop.”

“It’s better down here. If someone sees me go into your shop, they might start rumors.”

A long-suffering sigh made it through the line. “I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

I returned the phone to my back pocket.

“Is he coming?” Marta asked.

I took the Silver Vine from her hands and snapped it taut.

Ehehehe.
