Chapter 11

Lexsi

By the time we arrived at Rick's condo building, we couldn't park anywhere near it. It wasn't just Rick's condo—the entire structure was damaged in the blast.

Residents were huddled outside on nearby sidewalks as firefighters attempted to extinguish the blaze engulfing the rest of the building. Other news crews were already on-site, with Seventy-Four noticeably absent.

"We can send a live video feed to the station with my cell phone," I said, handing the phone in question to Anita. "Just hold it steady and make sure you get my voice and the building behind us."

That's how News Seventy-Four ended up with the story—with a makeshift newsfeed from a cell phone. We even interviewed Tiburon, whose condo was also destroyed in the building. He informed us that this wasn't his only home, but still, things precious to him had been lost.

Rick, his arms around Farin, looked completely lost while Tibby spoke with me and Anita recorded the interview. I had an idea why Rick's apartment was targeted; the enemy thought he knew where Mike was.

A thread of worry for Farin ghosted through my mind, too, while Kory fielded calls from the night producer at the station and relayed directions to me during brief interruptions.

After all, if the enemy hit Rick's place, they could get Farin's, too, so they could solidify their presence and level further threats. By the time a crew arrived from the station, I was happy to hand it over to them.

Kory, Rick and Tiburon approached a police officer who stood guard at the perimeter. He said the building would likely be a total loss, and as yet, not everyone was accounted for.

We'd already relayed that information to the station, so there was nothing new. Why did they want Mike so badly? What about the young woman who was taken—did they want her, too?

"Kory, do you think we should check on Farin's apartment?" I asked as we made our way back to his Jeep and Tibby's Cadillac. It had taken both vehicles to transport all of us.

"Not without a police escort," he growled softly. "You know what happened to Anita's place. They may be waiting for someone to show up there, now."

"But," I sputtered.

"Let me call some friends, okay?"

I knew exactly who he wanted to call—werewolf agents Stone and Williams. If anybody could check Farin's place for explosives, they surely could.

"Make the call," I said, allowing my shoulders to slump. When I'd run away from an undesired wedding, I never thought I'd end up neck deep in something like this.

"We'll be there in a few," Kory waved the others on. Tiburon nodded and led Rick, Farin and Anita toward his car while Kory and I stopped outside a closed sandwich shop to make the call.

"Davis Stone, here," he answered on the first ring.

"This is Kory Wilson," Kory identified himself. "I need a favor."

"Does it have anything to do with the condo bombings down by the wharf?"

"In a way. We figure Rick Armstrong's condo was the main target, so we're worried that Farin, his sister, may be targeted too.
