Chapter 7

Hunter had known it would be a risk to take Alana anywhere, but he’d thought it would be a reasonable risk if they could learn who the dead man was and where he had lived. They had to locate his portal opening device and destroy it.

Now they were faced with the possibility Alana could be arrested and him along with her. Getting out of that mess could be a real nightmare.

He and Alana turned to face what he hoped was just a hospital security officer. A lone security officer attempting to detain her until the cops arrived. If so, she could cast her witch’s mind control over him, no problem.

Two police officers were heading for them, and two more patrol cars were driving in their direction.

This was so not good.

“I can’t do it,” she whispered to Hunter.

The interrogation, he thought she meant. She couldn’t face any more of it. What if she astral traveled when she was being questioned this time? He didn’t think she could deal with it any further.

But he didn’t want to have to do what he planned, either. He would have done anything else if he could have come up with another idea on the spur of the moment. “We have to go to the demon world,” he said low for her hearing only.

“Stay right there,” one of the police officers said, his hand held up as if he was directing traffic, or telling her not to disappear like she had done before.

“They’ll see the portal,” she whispered back. “They’ll see us vanish into it.”

“I can’t think of any other way.” He glanced back at Celeste and Jared. They’d pulled into a parking lot and were waiting to see what would happen next. “Tell them,” Hunter said to Alana. “Tell Celeste and Jared we’re going to Seplichus for a short jaunt and will return as soon as we can.”

Alana turned to face Celeste and Jared, who were both watching them through the windshield. “We’re going to Seplichus. We’ll be back as soon as we’re able.”

Celeste’s eyes grew huge. No one had probably ever spoken into her mind before. Jared looked just as horrified, but not for the same reason. He started shaking his head and got out of the car.

“No, stay,” she telepathically told him.

As soon as he got out, Celeste hurried to join him.

The police officers probably suspected they were all together in this then and didn’t move, waiting for backup.

The squad cars pulled up on either side of the police officers as a united force. Hunter frowned at Jared and Celeste as they walked toward them.

“Stay. We’ll be back,” he said to Jared. Then Hunter raised his hands as if to show the police he was unarmed, spoke the words to summon the portal, and once the blue-green lights shimmered under the gray skies, he seized Alana’s hand and pulled her through.

***

Torrential cold rain and winds pelted Hunter and Alana as they stood near a bulkhead that was trying to keep a stormy sea at bay.
