Jack knocked on Dr. Byron’s door. Marissa and Sam stood behind him. None of the three had a clue as to why they’d been called here.

“Come in,” Dr. Byron responded to the knock.

Jack pushed the door open and stepped into the office, recognizing that it would have been Claire in this position a few weeks ago. Now he’d taken the lead, and it wasn’t a position he wanted.

Dr. Byron sat behind his desk. “Welcome.”

Jack looked around the room slowly. “You’d think they’d give you nicer digs, huh?”

“Just as I thought your parents would have given you more manners,” Dr. Byron shot back before gesturing at the three chairs in front of him. “Please, have a seat.”

Jack sat in the middle chair—again, where Claire would have been—while the other two took the seats on either side of him. “We’re all kind of curious why you asked us to come here.”

Dr. Byron leaned back in his chair and turned it toward the window on his right. He stared out of it for a few seconds before speaking. “Have you told Ms. Howard what you learned about the Midwest?”

Jack looked at Marissa, matching the shock on her face. “No. We were told not to say anything, so we haven’t.”

“Tell me what?” Sam asked.

Jack shook his head. I’m not saying anything. If Byron wants to put his neck out there, he’s more than welcome to.

Still looking out the window, the professor spoke. “No reason to hide it now. Apparently, the odd sky activity was actually a god passing through the Veil. Hades, to be exact. The FBI agents are asking for you three to join them in trying to…”

He turned the chair around to face the students and shrugged. “I’m not sure what they want you to do. Only that you’re being pulled from class and put on another mission. I asked that I be the one to tell you. You all will be meeting with Special Agents Lance and Remington shortly, I’m sure.”

Jack and Marissa exchanged another glance, both of them thinking the exact same thing. Marissa was the one who said it aloud. “Dr. Byron, we’re not going anywhere without Claire. That’s insane.”

Byron ignored the comment but instead brought his attention to Sam. “Ms. Howard, do you understand what’s being asked of you?”

Sam shook her head. “Not exactly. You want me to do what they have been doing? Go out into the field?”

Byron nodded, then leaned forward onto the desk, placing his elbows on it. “That’s right.”

Jack was looking at Sam, wondering how she would respond to such an outrageous demand. She’s not ready, he thought. She’s not nearly ready, regardless of how smart or strong-willed she is.

Sam swallowed. “Do I have a choice?”

Byron shrugged again, slightly. “Not much of one, I suppose. You can either do what they’re asking you to do, or you can withdraw from the University.”

Sam turned to Jack and Marissa. “Did either of you know about this?”

Both shook their heads but remained quiet.

“But you don’t want to do it either?” Sam asked.
