Chapter Eight

The heater was on full blast and still nothing seemed to warm her. Darcy glanced into the rearview mirror to make sure there was no one else on the road before gunning it. She needed to cross a lot of ground if she was going to make it to Sarah and back to the city in time.

Behind her in the backseat sat her bag of weapons, and beside it a backpack of clothes and necessities. It had taken one hell of an argument to talk Blake and Cailin out of coming along with her. Blake had even refused to give her Sarah’s address if she didn’t let him accompany her.

She smiled at the memory. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for her, yet he found it strange that she felt the same about him. No way was she bringing along anyone she cared for on this trip. Unless she was the luckiest woman alive, Jaral would catch up with her at some point. When he did, she didn’t want anyone else bearing the brunt of his rage.

Blake had told her the potion should last a day on a normal demon. As Jaral was far from the standard, she figured she had twelve hours or so to get a head start. She’d been driving all day, barely taking any breaks. There was as much distance between them as she could possibly put. He’d have to start from scratch in his hunt for Sarah.

Sarah’s mother had apparently moved her across the country after Kerilyn’s disappearance. While Darcy could applaud a mother’s devotion to keeping her kid safe, she wished the woman hadn’t run quite so far. She was trying to condense a three-day drive into two. Far too long given the state of the spirit rift. Of course, with her bag of weapons there was no other option. Getting a sack of guns and knives through airport security was easier said than done.

A flashing motel sign up ahead caught her attention. She glanced at the GPS, wondering if she could make it to the next stop, then decided against it. Sleep had never sounded so attractive.

Darcy parked and went through the check-in process like a sleepwalker, barely hearing the friendly chatter of the elderly proprietor. She grabbed her keys and headed for her door.

The old, musty room had obviously seen a lot of use and not much care. She dropped her weapons bag on the floor and nudged the door shut with her foot. The room was
