People from all around were converging on the medical center. The towering white antennas at the entrance to the hospital meant that Dread’s little assassination display had been carried live, as he intended. Young and old, they were flooding in to gawk and point and stare and not really believe, but wanting to believe that something out of the ordinary was happening and they were a part of it.

I took the streets that seemed to be the least clogged and was driven north and west. At Forty-second Street, I realized I was close to Grand Central, and that reminded me of Mystify. His casa was somewhere down below, but I didn’t have a key to get in through the condos or from the subway tracks.

That left the message drop. It was another forty blocks north.

It was times like these that I wished I could just go home and curl up in bed and fall asleep. Worry about it tomorrow, when I was fresh and could think straight. But I didn’t have that luxury. I had to keep on going, keep burning . . . forever.

I didn’t want to think about the fact that I hadn’t stopped Dread. In fact, I had let myself get distracted by everyone else while he put his plan into motion. In spite of all my efforts, I hadn’t stopped the resurrection.

I felt responsible for it.

Ram could have stopped Dread, but he didn’t care. He was probably glad it was Dread who was engineered our outing. He would stand back and watch the slaughter as humanity crushed his offspring for him.

He wasn’t going to be any help.

Maybe Mystify would.

I started jogging, weaving between people and taking to the street when I could. Runners say that you get into a meditative state. I don’t know about that; I’m usually running for my life if I’m running. But I tried it this time, tried to let everything go, clear my head.
