CHAPTER ELEVEN

Churches

“Churches?” Dante asked.

We had gathered outside of the train station, tucked away in an alley between low-rise residential buildings, making sure to leave the station at different times and arrive separately to ensure we weren’t being followed. The sky had darkened, clouds blotching the sun and threatening rain—cold, hard, icy rain. I tucked my hands into my jacket for warmth.

“That’s what the woman said,” I said. “The men had talked about going to a church, or something like that. Do you have any idea why they would have said that?”

“No. I don’t know of any organization, besides the obvious one, operating out of churches.”

“Obvious? Maybe to you, but not to me. What are you talking about?”

“The Catholic Church itself. Do you really think they’d be happy letting demons and werewolves run around, discrediting the validity of their product?”

“Uh, wouldn’t the sight of a demon give more credibility to the Catholic Church’s product?”

“You’d think so, but people are much less inclined to believe in God when they’re being faced with a creature from a nightmare realm.”

I shrugged. “Anyway, according to the woman, there are three nearby churches. I’ve done a map search, and I’ve figured out their locations.” I showed Vikram my phone with the three pins highlighting the churches.

“Good,” Vikram said. “These churches are within walking distance of each other.”

“Really? You call three miles walking distance?”

“I grew up in London; we say everything is within walking distance because we have the underground.”

“Maybe,” Dante said, “but there aren’t any underground tunnels here. You see walking distance, I see us walking in a town potentially filled with enemies who may know what we look like, waiting to catch us crossing the street.”

“Right,” I said. “That’s why Raph and I are going to be the ones looking for the churches—not you.”

Dante tilted his head to the side and arched an eyebrow. “Explain.”

“Well… Raph has the power to make people around him think he’s someone else, tricking their mind. And I’m a shapeshifter, which means I can actually make myself look like someone—or something—else. You can too, but Vik can’t, which means he can’t be seen with us, snooping around.”

“Can’t you use your power on me too?” Vik asked Raphael.”

“Myself, I can take care of,” Raphael said, “but another… that’s probably too much.”

“It is too much, especially considering we’d have to be hidden for hours. We need to travel to each church and sniff the guy out, but it’ll take hours.”

“I can see that,” Vik said, folding his arms in front of his chest. “While you’re out looking for these people, Dante and I can try and find out as much as we can about them, see if we can figure out what we’re dealing with.”

“And I can shapeshift to look like someone else so I don’t stick out like a sore thumb,” Dante said. “I don’t like the idea of splitting up either, but we’ll be in teams of two… we’ll be alright.”

I looked at Dante, who seemed to be either considering this plan, or tearing it apart.
