“Sera?” I sat up straight in surprise. “Um, hi. Can I help you with something?”

“As a matter of fact, you can. If you wouldn’t mind driving me home?”

“Driving you home?”

Her expression was deathly serious, and somehow I was pretty sure she wouldn’t respond favorably if I told her to get the hell out of my car.

“I...I guess I can. Where do you live?”

“Not far from you. It’s easy enough to get to; I’ll tell you the way,” she said as she rummaged through the bag at her side.

“Okay. But we need to wait for my sister, she should be out in a—”

“Actually,” Sera interrupted quietly as her hand emerged from the bag, “I’m kind of in a hurry, so I’d prefer it if we could get going. Now.”

I already had my mouth opened, an argument ready to roll off my tongue.

I swallowed it quickly.

Because out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw what she’d been searching for in her bag: Her left hand now held a shiny, silver revolver.

“Why do you have a gun?”

“Drive,” she ordered.

“Are you kidding me—”

“Drive,” she repeated in the same, toneless voice.

We shot out of the parking space, accompanied by the squeal of tires, and nearly collided with an oncoming SUV.

I swerved away from the other vehicle at the last second, and after that I somehow managed to get my nerves under control enough to drive somewhat normally— even though I felt oddly disconnected from the crazy reality I was currently living in.

I drove for what must have been at least ten minutes before Sera finally spoke again.

“You didn’t listen to me, Alex.” She twisted the gun casually around in her hands. “I warned you about those people—about Kael and the others. And what did you do? You went to visit them.”

“It wasn’t exactly a leisurely visit,” I said through clenched teeth. “And how do you know about that, anyway?”

“I have my sources.”

“What sources?”

“I’d tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.”

“Is that supposed to be funny?”

“It’s funny to me,” Sera said with a shrug. “But anyway, where I get my information isn’t really important right now.” She gazed out the window as she spoke.

I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter. “Okay—well can you at least tell me why? Why are you following me? What do you want with me and my family, anyway?”

“I’m just looking out for you, Alex.”

I pulled my eyes off the road and gave her a quick, incredulous look. “This is your idea of looking out for someone? What is wrong with you? Seriously?”

Out of the corner of my eye, I watched as Sera lifted the gun into her line of vision, appraising it like she’d just realized she was carrying it. “As long as you cooperate, we won’t have to use this,” she said.

“There are other, less-insane ways to get people to cooperate.”

“I thought so too, but apparently I wasn’t clear enough during our lunch the other day, was I? I thought you would have been more careful about whose side you were on after our little meeting.
