Chapter Eight

The plane wasn’t so bad, looking back at it. Once we were up and in steady flying mode, the cabin didn’t shake and I let go of Jake’s hand. I was pretty sure we both had tiny, crushed bones deep in our fingers somewhere.

“Who are you texting?” I asked as we waited at the car rental desk at Heathrow for the attendant to come back with our keys.

“Sasha,” he said, not looking up.

My eyebrows raised. “You’re on texting terms?”

He moved his gaze up and over his phone to stare at me. “We’re supposed to be working with them—her and Cappy--so I thought it was necessary. You remember them from our trip to the dungeon, right?”

“Yup. Sure. I was there. I didn’t know you guys had exchanged numbers. And, I thought I was the smartass one?”

“Who do you think you learned it from?”

“The Elite must have beat it out of you.”

He shook his head. “They don’t beat us, Cas. Think of it like military basic training, and Elite drill sergeants? You don’t want to mess with them.”

Jake smiled over his shoulder as the lady returned. She had a cool British accent. Everyone did. Funny how that happened when you were in a different country.

I took out my phone and Googled the distance between London and Stonehenge. “Well, we’ve got a couple hour drive ahead of us now.”

“Good. It will give us time to strategize. Who exactly do you think we should talk to first?”

“Stonehenge’s equivalent of Mayor Hawthorn. There must be somebody who is the human go-between. Who knows about us and keeps it quiet for the sake of the area around them. We need to see what he noticed before the bomb went off. Also, he’s a human, and if my theory is correct, it’ll be good to look him in the eyes and see what we can make of him. Does he hate the magical world? Did he set off a bomb to try and kill us?”

“Command thinks you’re heading in the wrong direction.”

“I could give two shits what Command thinks.”

Jake was damn near close to rolling his eyes. “Always hostile.”

“They’ve screwed this up so far. Do we really want to follow their advice? Just the fact that they think we shouldn’t pursue Stonehenge means we probably should.”

“Calm down, Cas,” Jake said. He hugged me to his side and squeezed. “I didn’t say I disagreed with you. I just wanted to let you know where Command was at with this whole thing.”

“How did you get them to agree with letting you come then?”

His lips split into a wide grin. “They think you’re better supervised.”

“Oh, fu-”

Jake put his hand over my mouth.

“-mk dem.” It was all muffled, but he got what I meant.

We got to our rented vehicle, a small silver car. It was less badass than my SUV back home, but it would have to do. “Don’t forget you’re driving on the left side of the road,” I warned him.

He didn’t even bother to answer as he backed the car out of the space and exited the parking garage.
