Chapter 14

Between the four of us, the food was quickly devoured. Venni ended up sticking around while the other two got called to handle some situation. They promised to be back but said I’d better not be here when they came back. They wanted me home and in bed.

Venni smiled and shook his head as we cleaned up. I wiped down the counter and shifted everything back into place.

“What do you have planned for the rest of the day?” Venni asked.

“I need to go harass Lombardi about this weekend. I want to fix up the wards then. Maybe get some of these traps placed.” I went over to the duffel bag and opened it, showing him the devices inside.

His face pinched as he came closer, no doubt he could feel the remnants of the magic inside as it settled. In another hour, they would be undetectable.

“How about while I go talk to Lombardi, you find spots for these?” I asked. I dug out a smaller version of the map.

Venni nodded and hoisted up the duffel bag, unfazed by the weight as he grabbed the booklet and flipped through it quickly. I’d already made note of all the locations I wanted a trap. For now, we just needed them in place. Later, I’d make some adjustments so the traps fit better to their surroundings, and then activate them.

“You aren’t going to activate these until tomorrow at the earliest. You need to rest.”

He turned and walked out the door. I rolled my eyes at his seriousness. It was charming but unnecessary. I knew my limit—I pushed it on a daily basis.

And I knew I had enough magic to pop in on Lombardi. I grinned as I closed my eyes and reached out toward the wards around his office. I imagined the space as I remembered it the last time.

My body tingled. There was a moment of weightlessness and then my feet landed on something solid.

I opened my eyes to see Mr. Lombardi glaring at me.

“You can’t keep doing that,” he said, his voice deeper, darker.

“It’s easier,” I shrugged. “And I’m too tired to travel up here the good old fashioned way.”

His eyes narrowed as they flickered over my features, taking note of the dark circles no doubt painted underneath my dark green eyes or my extra pale skin.

“So you think using magic despite your body being at its limit is better?” he asked, not impressed.

“My body is fine.” I dismissed his accusation. “Can I talk to you?” I looked around. “Or are you busy?”

“You’re already here, we might as well talk.”

I grinned. “Great,” I said and plopped down on one of his plush chairs, sinking in. I needed to ask him how he’d managed to capture a cloud because it sure felt like I was sitting on one.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

“Can I have about three hours over the weekend?” I asked. “I’ll need the property completely empty to set up the wards and integrate it with the current ones, and from there we can work on giving employees access.
