CHAPTER NINE

Back at our apartment, Di was still awake. Black yoga pants and a black T-shirt covered her tall frame. She waited in the living room. A single lamp illuminated the space by casting a golden glow over the ceiling. The clock in the hall had just struck two in the morning.

She crossed her arms when the six of us pushed through the front door. “I’m glad to see you all arrived safely. I tried to warn you about the cops in the vision I received, but none of you answered your phones when I called.”

Jasper shrugged off his coat. “You were a little late on the warning, Di. We were already running away when I missed your call.”

She shook her head sharply. “I should have concentrated harder, but I was distracted by this little one.” She pointedly looked at Susannah, who was seated on the couch.

Susannah’s knees were drawn to her chest, and her large, luminous blue eyes were wide. “Sorry, Di. I didn’t mean to get back so late.”

Jet groaned and kicked off his boots before strolling into the living room. His curly dark hair was disheveled from our nighttime excursion. “Please tell me that guilty look isn’t from ruining my car.”

Raven’s eyes swirled brighter. “I have a feeling he’s not going to like the news,” he said under his breath to me.

Flint chuckled. I knew he’d heard Raven too.

Susannah shook her head at Jet, her long hair swaying around her shoulders. “It’s still in one piece . . . mostly.”

Jet collapsed onto the couch across from her. “Seriously? Okay, spill it. What did you do?”

Susannah wrung her hands and looked at the seven of us. Di stood near the corner of the room with her arms crossed. From the looks of it, Susannah had already received an earful from Di.

“I may have . . . um, hit a tree.”

“But you’re okay?” I peeled off my coat and sat on the chair by the couch. My shoulders still hurt, but after I rolled them a few times, they felt a little better. I no longer thought I’d torn muscles, but I’d probably be sore the next day.

I tucked my hands under my thighs to warm them up. Our apartment was cool. Someone had left a window cracked open. Flint came up behind me. I felt his presence as Mica, Jasper, and Raven joined us too.

“I’m fine. But the back door of your car . . .” Susannah eyed Jet. “May have a dent in it.”

Jet dropped his head into his hands and moaned. “Ah, man!”

Jasper laughed. “Glad you made it back in one piece, Suze.”

Mica plopped down beside Susannah. “No kidding.” She turned to face her. “So why didn’t you come back earlier? We were hoping you could tell us what you saw.”

Susannah ducked her head again. “I knew Jet would be mad at me.”

Mica raised her eyebrows. “So you were avoiding us?”

Jasper clapped his brother on the back. “Don’t worry about it, Susannah. He’ll get over it. Serves him right for loaning you his new car when you’re still learning how to drive.
