Chapter 15

Heath, Aston and Dainton were in the conference room waiting for him. Zak teleported with Frank directly into the room, knowing that’s where the team would be.

Aston was tapping at his laptop, pulling up a map.

“And we are live!” he grinned. Zak moved behind him to see the screen. Two red dots were blinking on the map. They’d put GPS trackers in Georgia and Skye’s mobile phones.

“Good work,” Zak patted his shoulder, “just do not tell the ladies we are tracking them. I could do without the grief.”

Aston typed a few commands and another map appeared on the screen with a single red blinking dot.

“And here we have the lovely Veronica.” He indicated the screen with his hand. Dainton and Heath crowded around to see the screen as well.

“Where is she?” Dainton queried. Anton zoomed the map in closer. Veronica was not at the safe house where they’d left her. She was two hundred kilometres to the west. Zak frowned.

She hadn’t been in contact with him to tell him of her movements, and while he hadn’t forbade her from leaving the safe house, it wasn’t the norm for one of his own not to keep him abreast of their movements.

“Do we have any more intel on her?” he asked Frank. It bothered him that he had to ask them to investigate one of their own; it hurt even more to think that she had, or was intending, to betray them all.

“We don’t have anything to connect her directly to Erik. Yet. She’s damn good at hiding whatever it is she’s up to. And for her to be able to hide it so effectively from you? Someone has to have taught her that trick.”

“Her blocking technique is very effective,” Zak agreed. Although he’d tried several times to read Veronica’s secrets, she’d still maintained that wall that he just hadn’t been able to breech. What saddened him the most was that she’d felt the need to learn how to block him.

He respected his people’s privacy and didn’t intrude on their minds.

He knew Veronica’s behaviour hurt the warriors as well. She was their sister. If she was in trouble she could have turned to any one of them for help.

Zak took a seat at the conference table and listened as Frank updated them all on what they’d found on Veronica and Erik, which hadn’t amounted to much. Lots of rumours, but nothing concrete. Aston turned on the television screen on the wall at the end of the table, and hooked up his laptop. The screen flickered for a moment, and then they all saw a replication of Aston’s laptop monitor. The picture on the screen was of Georgia’s dagger.

“We do have news of the first blade though,” Aston told them. “Dainton, care to share what you found out?”

Dainton leaned forward in his chair, resting his elbows on the table.

“ ‘Tis as we suspected. The blade has more of a role to play than simply awakening the ring.”

Zak glanced down at the ring with its thin red line weaving around his finger.
