The following morning, Brian tried to focus on his surroundings. Why am I on my stomach? He never slept in that position. He started to roll before he was fully awake.

The searing pain stopped him, causing him to cry out.

A chair scraped against the floor and Jensen’s handsome face filled his line of vision. “Where am I?” Brian asked, feeling nauseated and confused.

Before answering, Jensen kissed him. Brian tried to kiss his lover back, but Jensen pulled away. “Hey, I wasn’t finished. I need my cinnamon fix,” Brian admonished.

“They let me finally take the mask off if I promised to be good. Besides, you need to conserve your energy.” Jensen chuckled. “We both know that isn’t going to happen if we start making out like a couple of teenagers.” Jensen ran his fingers through Brian’s hair. “You’re in the hospital. Do you remember anything about last night?”

Brian searched his mind. Flashes of the attack assailed him. His body flinched as he remembered the god-awful pain he’d endured, the voices screaming in his head to be set free. “I have to go back.”

“Like hell you are,” Jensen rasped.

Brian tried to shake his head, but the pain lanced up his back again. “I promised them.”

“Who? The spirits who tried their best to rip your body to shreds? Fuck ’em.”

“You don’t understand. I told them if they let me live I’d find their bones and set them free.” Brian gazed into Jensen’s eyes. “It’s the right thing to do.”

“What do you mean? You’re going to find their bones?” Jensen asked.

“Judging by the number of ghosts that attacked me, I’d say there are around seven or eight skeletons still inside Alcatraz.”

“Impossible,” Jensen said, shaking his head. “Alcatraz was completely gutted. If there were bones, they would’ve been found.”

Brian thought about the number of spirits who’d attacked him. How did the Mundji fit in? Had it always been in the prison or was it summoned by the spirits themselves to exact retribution? And how did the current inmate deaths figure into the puzzle?

“May I use your cell phone?” Brian asked Jensen.

Jensen shook his head. “You trying to get me killed? There’re signs posted on every other wall about using cell phones in here.” Jensen put the bedside phone within Brian’s reach. “Can I ask?”

Brian grinned. “I thought I’d call an old friend of my granddad’s. There has to be someone who knows more about the Mundji and how to vanquish it.”
