CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

IDRIC STARED HELPLESSLY, his face pressed against the glass doors at the back of the school as the two agents took Sally down with a Taser. She’d turned back to help Yasif, but it had been no use. The agents had knocked her unconscious before she’d made it halfway. It wasn’t pleasant watching two people twitch in pain. One of the men glanced up, and Idric acted instinctively, giving a wave of his hand as he muttered, “Odwende.”

The man’s eyes glazed over. He shrugged, dismissing whatever it was he thought he’d seen. He assisted his partner in picking up the two unconscious teens. As they approached the back door, Idric searched for a place to hide. If the agent got too close, the spell wouldn’t hold and he’d be captured, too. He took refuge behind a nearby tree and watched as the men carried Sally and Yasif to a black van. Neither were particularly gentle as they placed Sally and Yasif into the back. They bound and gagged the teens as Idric racked his brain for something he could do. He couldn’t attack them as they we’d done with the flying creature. That would only harm Yasif and Sally. He could come up with something to distract them, but then how would he carry both Sally and Yasif?

Then a thought came to him.

He concentrated on the trace convergence, something fleeting, but still coherent enough for him to use. He picked up a small rock and darted closer to the van.

“Modo kente.” He drew on the fading energy, channeling it into the stone. It glowed momentarily with a faint reddish light. He then tossed it into the back of the van just before the men returned to close it up.

The man who’d glanced at him earlier looked in Idric’s direction. He wore a puzzled look as though he’d seen something. He squinted into the trees, then shook his head and went around the side of the van.

Idric breathed a sigh of relief as they drove away. The tracking spell would keep tabs on the van, but Idric had no way to follow them. He needed to get word to Jake or Lani. If they didn’t hurry, the energy in the stone would fade, and he worried they’d never see Sally or Yasif again.
