Chapter Nine

"How long have you been at it? Any progress?" I asked Dodd as I walked into the living room in Cormac's penthouse, where he sat with Abby beside him. My temporary home until I located where he had hidden my trailer. So far it wasn't going so well. I hadn't managed to get anyone to leak even a hint about its location.

"A little bit. You got someone coming tonight, right?"

"In about twenty minutes. Why? What did you find?" Something in his tone caught my attention.

"I might be wrong, so I don't want to say anything."

"Dodd, you can't say something like that and not say it."

"I'm just not sure I'm right. I only have a rudimentary knowledge of this language, from some girl I dated way back when. I don't want to freak you out."

I grabbed a coffee and sat on the couch opposite him. "You've already scared me. Spill it."

"Abby," he said and pointed to the left side of the book. I watched the wolf take her paw and turn the page back.

"Wow, did you just teach her that?"

"She's quite smart." He leaned over the book page with a scowl.

"Just tell me, already."

"If I'm correct, it says something about a monster for good that was contained but not destroyed."

"Which is probably the senator. We already knew that. What's got you out of sorts?"

"If this book is correct and I'm reading it right, it says we created it and that it is indestructible." He took a long breath in between clenched teeth before he continued. "It might also say it's going to wreak havoc on the world, cause mass destruction, and kill a large portion of mankind."

At first I just sat there with my mouth gaping open. I sat there for probably a good minute, as Dodd just nodded his head in silent commiseration.

The next feeling I had was a desire to get up and run around the room screaming 'oh God, oh God, God.' Then I got a handle on my emotions. It was a book. Who the hell knew if the thing was even accurate and I said as much to Dodd.

"Yes, I agree. What makes me nervous is Cormac told me about the note that was left with the priest. The same thing is written in here."

"You mean the Golden Child Omen?" That was the name I'd given the omen that had been given to me by the priest.

"Yep. It's got an extra couple of lines but I can't figure out what they say. If it got those things right, how many more things are correct?"

"What do you think it says, if you had to guess?"

"We both know the first part, 'A golden child born and left will be the hope of those bereft. When eternal lilies bloom after a torturous night, the giver of gifts will stand for the right. The one who's sought is suddenly found, it will come time to stand their ground. So comes the reckoning where many fall. Tis not the end, but the start of it all.
