Irene,

The Freaks attempted to kill your sister yesterday, but rest assured, she is still alive. If you would like her to remain that way, then meet me in one week at the London bridge at midnight.

I will help you escape them, and will make you a better deal. No tricks.

— Jack

P.S. get rid of this note or the driver is dead.

All of these monsters sure had a way with words. My hands started to shake, but the sound of movement down stairs had me rushing back to the bathroom. I tore the paper into shreds, threw it into the toilet and flushed it down.

That’s why those bastards had been so gods damned cheery this morning.

Rage made my throat burn, my thoughts becoming sharper than the knife in my possession. I felt a wave of calmness wash over me, the deadly kind.

I left my room, going downstairs to the kitchen where James, Charles, and Morte were standing. I fought the urge to blurt out that I knew, and instead offered them a kind smile.

“All packed. Someone came and grabbed my bags.”

“Good,” James said. “I think that’s everything then. Might as well leave now.”

“I want to fly,” I said. “With you or Charles.”

Morte cocked his head. “The portal is better.”

“I felt like vomiting last time,” I said. “And you want me to be fed. It would be a waste of your cooking skills.”

All three of them sized me up for a moment, and James was the one to give in first.

“Fine,” James said. “You’ll go with Charles. You’ll have to hold on tight.”

“I can do that,” I said, giving Charles a wink.

I hadn’t necessarily meant for that to sound the way it did, but the way all three of them tensed gave me satisfaction. James pressed his lips together, his eyes crinkling with a hint of amusement. Charles let out a soft growl, pulling me towards him.

“Well, little dove,” Charles chuckled. “Let’s fly.”
