The mayor’s face turned white. I gestured him away from the sunroof, then I summoned my right firesword and held it ready. The car interior lit up with red light.

When a face appeared, I thrust upward. The face vanished, but not before I realized it had been Noah. “Sorry!” I called up, letting my firesword dissipate.

Noah’s face reappeared with a grin. “Keeping me on my toes—I like that. ”

“Have you seen this?” I nodded at the TV, which showed a firedrake crouched down by a chimney stack, watching the traffic-logged street—watching us.

“Persia and I have been keeping an eye on them,” Noah said. “We’ve spotted three, and we suspect there are at least six or seven. We have to get out of here before they strike. I’ve come to tell your driver to keep up and to warn you to be ready. This is no time to have your feet up, watching TV.”

“I wasn’t… I just…”

“I kid.” Noah reached down and slapped me on the shoulder. “If that helicopter is broadcasting an eye in the sky view of what’s happening, then one of us should be watching it. Perhaps, sir, you could do that for now.” Noah looked at the mayor who nodded. “Great.” Noah gave me a wink. “Let’s ride, brother.”

“Ride what?” I asked, but he was gone.

I grabbed hold of the sides of the sunroof and pulled myself up. Noah had jumped back onto the lead car, which had begun to emit a police siren. “How did you get the siren?” I asked.

“That clever sister of yours figured out how to get a mobile to play a siren, and we’ve plugged it into car’s speakers and turned it up.

“She’s not my sister.” It appeared that, with a bit of imagination, cellphones had many uses these days. “She’s certainly clever though.”

Ahead, cars responded to the siren by easing to the side, shifting out of the way to create a lane to allow us though. Nathan drove into the gap created, and Pete and Harriet made sure that the three Lincolns stayed close together.

Our attempt to escape seemed to act as a signal for the firedrakes to attack. Three of them leapt at once from the rooftops and down onto the streets below. A short time later, two more appeared and also began to close in. Beelzebub.

Noah crouched down and slapped on the roof. “Faster!” he shouted down the sunroof. “This isn’t the time to worry about the rules of the road.”

Nathan accelerated, bumping first one car, then another out of the way.

“The siren isn’t loud enough,” Noah said, glancing behind him. “We need to really get the attention of the drivers ahead.” He held his hand in front of him and his multani appeared, a long firewhip. He snapped his wrist, and the whip shot out in front of him. Red light glinted off the black roof of the Lincoln, and I turned around to see that Persia had also fully emerged from her car to stand
