NINETEEN

TK PULLED UP to a hangar with the number “20” painted on the side.

Inside, I saw what appeared to be a typical business plane. It was painted in light and dark gray shapes, which I realized was camouflage. I saw no designation numbers, except a large X on the tail. The engines on either side of the tail appeared to be oversized. I looked around and noticed that hangar 20 had no road leading to the runways.

Next to the plane stood three people. I recognized Dex right away. The other two, a man and a woman, I didn’t know. They were both dressed in dark gray combat gear and gave off strong energy signatures. We got out of the Eliminator. Dex looked at Monty, frowned, and turned to LD.

“How long?”

“Two weeks, three on the outside if he keeps the reservoirs full. But he’s your nephew, so we know that won’t happen. The effect of the Black Heart is helping, but that will dissipate in a day or so.”

“And the ice?”

“We got it all but it had already done the damage. It’s possible he’ll get full use of his magical ability back. We did all we could do. Now it’s up to his body’s recovery.”

Peaches got out, stretched his legs, and yawned.

<Next time, I’m not sharing my seat. My legs hurt.>

<Stop complaining. Back seats are not designated hellhound accommodations.>

<They should be. Can you get some magic meat? When will you learn to make some?>

<I have other things on my to-do list that are more important than meat right now, but I’ll ask Dex.>

<More important than meat? What is more important than meat?>

I shook my head and approached Dex. TK had moved to speak to the two people I didn’t know, and LD escorted Monty onto the plane.

I patted my jacket and felt for the flask. “Do you think the Valhalla Java could help Monty?”

Dex placed a hand over mine. “If the runic neutralizer didn’t restore him, the liquid in that flask won’t help. This is more mental than physical at this point.”

“I don’t understand. Monty is a fighter. You’re saying that he doesn’t want to get better?”

“This is going to be a battle on several fronts, lad,” Dex said quietly. “Going home is never easy.”

Peaches nudged me, and Dex noticed. He looked down, smiled, and gestured. A large sausage formed in front of Peaches, who proceeded to munch on the meat.

“I’m going to have to learn how to do that at some point.” I looked down at my insatiable, bottomless pit of a hellhound.

“When we get back, I’ll walk you through the spell.” Dex shook his head and kept looking at Peaches. “After we deal with the Sanctuary.”

“Thank you. I don’t see how going home is making it harder for Monty to get well. I know he wants to get better.”

“He’s going to face some hard truths, truths he’s been avoiding most of his life. Most of them unpleasant.”

“What truths?”

“Let me introduce you to the crew.” Dex grabbed me by the arm and led me to the plane.
