Chapter Twelve

All that time I spent training Wallace is finally about to pay off, but not exactly in a way anybody had planned. I didn’t want to come here, but my options are limited at this point, and I can’t make another move without some intelligence. Dominic hasn’t asked an annoying question for seven whole minutes when we finally arrive at the edge of the warehouse district. Sani’s head is on a permanent swivel. I’m not even sure exactly what he’s looking out for. At this point, I’ve made so many enemies, I guess just about anyone could be out to get us.

I stare up at the imposing concrete-block buildings, biting my lip until the pain clears my thoughts.

I turn to Dominic. “Here’s the deal: I can’t make you invisible, so you either stay here—”

“No.”

I take a deep, calming breath. Well, it’s meant to be calming, anyway. It doesn’t seem to have any effect. “Or take your chances with warehouse security guards and cameras.”

He scoffs. “I think I can handle a rent-a-cop.”

“Don’t get cocky,” I say. “When we get close to the tech warehouses, it gets pretty tight.”

“Can’t you just fly us in?” Sani whispers. His breath tickles my ear, and I close my eyes for a long second.

“No,” I say.

Sani accepts this but—big surprise—Dominic has to ask, “Why not?”

“Lasers.”

The agent snaps his gaze back and forth over the warehouses. He won’t find them here. “Lasers?”

I shrug. “Lasers.”

“Why do we have to go here again?” Dominic asks, a little healthy fear coloring his voice.

“I have to talk to Wallace and…well, the rest is hard to explain. You’ll see.” I look at Sani and ask, “Witnesses?”

He doesn’t have to look or think; he’s already assessed the street. “An ATM camera on that corner.” He points to an intersection a block east. “That’s it.”

I usher the boys around a corner to put a building between me and the camera and finally let the dragon out, careful to control the change. Dominic jumps back at my sudden increase in size and presence. Sani wraps his hand gently around the tip of my tail, and we both go into stealth mode.

Sani could definitely sneak to the warehouse without the benefit of invisibility, but he doesn’t know where we’re going, so it’s easier to follow me if he can see me.

Dominic, on the other hand, is so screwed. Oh well, I gave him the choice.

We make our painfully slow way toward the center of the warehouse cluster. I constantly whisper directions to Dominic. He bumps into me or Sani more times than really seems accidental. Sani—the saint—mercifully takes Dominic’s hand to guide him. Our pace quickens. Twenty minutes after we started, we reach the outside of the group of tech warehouses. This is where it gets complicated.

“Oh!” Dominic says. “Lasers. Got it.”

“You weren’t kidding,” Sani adds.

I smirk. “Now Sani, you know I never kid.”

He shakes his head and lets a tiny laugh escape. If I could make him smile every day, I could be happy. His eyes, through my dragon sight, are incredible.
