Tole banged into Pablo's suite and marched straight into the bedroom, where Win and Pablo lay entwined and sound asleep. He pushed up and down on the mattress, jouncing them awake. "Get your well-fucked ass out of bed, Aethiel; we're going to Villius."

Bounding into the main house, Tole did the same thing to Zee, who slept alone. "Get up, Thimien, we're going to Villius."

Breathing heavily, Tole strode to the dining area, pulled the Tratch receiver from his pocket, and tossed it on the table. He flattened his hands on either side of the device and stared at it.

Same shit. The transmission signal had died. The green glow that had previously been his only link to Ridley was no longer there. As if both transmitter and receiver were stymied 99

by whatever force cloaked the Iron Metroplex, they'd simply given up.

"Fuck!" Tole went to the refrigerator to grab an energy drink. He downed half the bottle in one swallow.

He heard the quiet whoosh of the toilet. Zee appeared shortly thereafter. The other two men, bleary-eyed and swaddled in bathrobes, ambled into the house through the backdoor.

Tole didn't wait for any of their what-the-hell-is-going-on grumbling. "Keryss snatched him," Tole announced, making a point of glaring at Win. "She snatched Ridley. I saw the whole thing."

After going to the kitchen and pouring a glass of milk, he also settled into a chair. "This is bad," he murmured.

"No fucking shit it's bad." Tole paced for a minute before he sat down.

"What exactly did you see?" Win asked, lifting his head.

The men again paid attention.

"I know what he means," Zee murmured. "It's what the Orb told me." He looked at Tole, awaiting confirmation.

"There's no one else we can send there," Tole explained.

" We're the Powers of Regenerie, in every sense of the word.

This creature has to be confronted and neutralized. Ridley has to be saved. We're the only beings in the metroplex capable of even attempting those things."

"That's it," Zee said. "That was the message the Celestine implanted. And that I should wait to tell you until the time was right."

When Tole saw the concerned look Win gave Pablo, he added gently, "Don't worry, Pablo can stay here and tend to business.
