Chapter 24 - Stooges Call

Kayter seriously considered throwing her computer against the wall. All the little Ley line crossings kept having blips of power flowing through them. So low the alarms for a portal didn't go off, but it meant something. The problem? She had no idea what it meant. Checking against other areas of the country they didn't have these low-level pings. Only in this general area.

It makes no sense, what is pinging the Ley lines? It’s not at the level the demons would use to tie a portal to, even with human help. It’s like someone, or something is testing the lines for throughput of low-level magics.

Throwing her hands up, she grabbed her sword and stepped out of the RV before she threw something irreplaceable. Stripping out of her jacket she started working out, sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, anything to burn off the frustration. She broke into a nice sweat and thought she might be ready to start going through sword drills when the ringing from her laptop grabbed her attention.

Frowning she headed back into the RV and looked at the computer.

‘Incoming call' flashed on the screen.

She ran through who knew the number in her mind but hit accept even as she mulled it over.

"Yes?"

"Um, yeah this is Gary?"

Gary, who the fuck is Gary?

"Yeah?"

"Um, is this the scary lady in the woods who kicked our asses?"

Ah, the light dawns.

"Hello, Gary. Is there a reason you're calling? Anything interesting to tell me?" Her voice dropped to a throaty purr.

Finally, something to do.

She settled down into the chair grabbing a pencil and paper.

"Well, we talked to some of our professors and they backed up what you said. So, me and Sean decided to tell you if we heard anything. Well, they just got a hold of us and told me something I thought you'd like to know." His voice wavered as he talked and the last word he squeaked.

"And what would that be?"

His voice shook a bit. "Just don't tell anyone I told you okay? Cause I think they might hurt me if they find out I told you anything."

"No one told me anything, I haven't talked to anyone."

"Oh good. Well look, they called us late yesterday and said they might need some help with a little spell they have going on up at this park near a college today. They wanted us to come and promised us we'd never forget. But something sounds off about it. I thought I'd tell you."

"College, which college?"

"Oh, MIT. The magic department. They gave us an address." He rattled off the address and she scribbled it down quickly. "It’s at one of the minor crossings up there. They said we should be there by three o’clock."

"Three today? And you are just now calling me?"

The other end went silent and she waited.

"Well, we had to think about it. Decide and well, it's a long drive and I thought it didn't sound like a good idea. So, I called you. At least I did that much, so I've done my good deed.
