Chapter 11

“There, I see him!” Kagan shouted and pointed at the suspect’s back.

I squinted at the figure in the distance. It was certainly a male but I couldn’t see any other identifying features. How does he run so fast? I asked myself. The runaway suspect moved with unusual speed. I quickly realized Kagan’s fae extra-sense ability allowed him to see the guy clearer than a normal person.

The fae ran toward our suspect at breakneck speed, and I followed him. Kagan ran like the wind, at the same time managing to gracefully dodge any passersby. Despite his speed, we lost sight of the suspect. He had simply vanished into thin air.

“Feckin’ hell!” Kagan cussed.

I chuckled; just couldn’t help it. Kagan looked incredibly sexy when he was pissed off.

Pulling back all my focus to the task at hand, I called my magical sense — my connection to the other supernaturals, the inborn skill that helped me navigate their complex world — and activated what I liked to think of as my magical radar. In the last few weeks, since I’d begun my training sessions with the fae, and especially thanks to Anumati’s gift, my magical radar had improved dramatically. The invisible thread in my center tugged at the far right side, and I ran that way, following the lead.

“Did you feel his pull?” the fae shouted from behind me.

“Yes, this way. I tracked him down,” I shouted back.

“Me, too. My magical radar points in the same direction.” Kagan was now level with me. He flashed me a smile as we ran. His presence and magic warmed my insides and gave me a breath of fresh energy.

The street we ran down ended in another busy street. We hit it right in the middle of the afternoon’s rush hour. It was overcrowded, full of commuters, street merchants and people with pets on leads just waiting to trip us up. This was probably why the clerk had run this way. He was safe here, knowing we couldn’t do anything to draw attention to us. The Council would have our heads if we fought in public. If we could only seal the street somehow…

The thought had only just crossed my mind when Kagan called out his fairy magic and the air swirled. A powerful wind rose, and an invisible barrier encased the whole street as if it were a giant shimmering bubble. He’d also put a concealment charm on it, making the street unattractive to humans so they would feel compelled to leave it. Well, it was certainly quicker than having to wipe the memories of all the humans who might see the supernaturals’ fight.

I took a few steps back and forth, searching with my magical radar. “He must be somewhere here,” I said.

Through the crowd of humans, the suspect’s magic stood out like tiny champagne bubbles on the surface of a flute. The sensation of his magic gave away his presence. I knew he was close; the difficulty lay only in finding him.

I barely uttered the words when a strong ball of magic hit me hard in the back.
