Chapter Sixteen
Earth…
Josephine landed in San Francisco four days after the events had taken place at the zoo. Her sister couldn’t stop talking about the two men who had saved her and many of the animals. If what Sarah had told her were true, then these men were from another planet. And they were going to try to get jiggy with her sister, both of them!
Aimeé didn’t know she was coming, so Josephine picked up her rental car, a Jeep Wrangler, and headed into the city. By the time she got out into the avenues, near the beach, it was late and the fog had rolled in. Visibility was cut down to a few car lengths. She was looking forward to getting to her sister’s place and stretching her legs. It was after midnight in San Francisco, which meant it was after two a.m. Chicago time.
Finally, she arrived. She could see Aimeé’s animal hospital was closed, though Aimeé had a bell for emergencies. Walking around the side of the building, she went up the metal stairs and rang the doorbell to her sister’s residence. She’d made a loft apartment in what once were the upstairs offices of a huge grocery store.
After several minutes, she rang the buzzer again. She knew her sister was home; she’d seen her car in the garage. When she still failed to come to the door, Josephine pulled out her lock picks. Aimeé was probably sound asleep. Jo had forgotten what a heavy sleeper she was.
The emergency bell must be really loud.
It took less than a minute for Josephine to get the door open. She made a note to get her sister better locks for her door as she stepped inside. It wasn’t until she locked the door behind her, walked down the short hall, and opened the door into the loft, that she heard the music. No wonder her sister didn’t hear the door buzzer!
She started walking through the various rooms as she called out. Opening the bedroom door, she saw the bed was a wreck. Over the music, she heard a splash coming from the open bathroom door.
“Aimeé, you are such a slob! You can’t even make up your bed…”
Josephine halted in the doorway. Instantly, she turned her back to the bathroom—trying to un-see what she had just seen.
“Um…I’ll go back to the living room, or maybe the kitchen. Yeah, I’ll go to the kitchen and get something to eat. Airplane food is lousy. I’m starved,” she blurted out, before rushing away.
Her sister was in her spa tub with two men! She ignored the squeak of embarrassment and splashing she heard going on behind her and made tracks. Those had been big men—what she’d seen of them.
Were they the Nephilim Aimeé had been talking about? They must be!
When she got to the kitchen, she realized she really was hungry. Looking in the fridge, she was pleased to see everything she needed. All the March daughters preferred breakfast food nearly any time of the day. She pulled out eggs, cheese, and bacon.
