Thirteen:

Considering that we were likely the first immortals they ever spoke to; the higher-ranking officers and enlisted men were not at all subtle about trying to force us to stick around and play a thousand questions with them.

I pointed out the poisoned nails and teeth bit about the zombies and instructed them to wear full body armor if they plan to keep engaging the dead in battle. After that, and the blast of follow-up questions once the tide of dead was abated, I managed to make my exit leaping off the street and atop a small apartment building a block over from my own.

Mainly, the issue seemed to be the number of humans now fighting on the streets. Add to that the camera crews braving the icy battlefield in hopes of catching a shot of something supernatural or immortal, and well, it was a literal perfect storm in the making.

“Hannah, I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”

Spencer exclaimed, and she landed on the roof next to me with a gentle thump. Her raven and green hair swished through the icy wind. Despite being born on another world, and having natural green hair, Spencer Kacey was the closest genetic connection I had in this universe. Aside from my monstrous fifth-dimensional father, of course.

“Hey, there sister sledge, what’s got you all worked into a frenzy?”

I asked, and Spencer seemed to pause for a moment, and then she gathered her thoughts.

“Look, I heard all the BS that went down, so I insisted that I reach out to you as a friend. Look, Grendel and my entire unit are going to hit the warehouse we spotted Skylark tracking the death expressionists in to. I just figured you would want to come, also, Grendel said she needed to speak with you on some unrelated matter, unofficially, of course.”

I crossed my arms over my chest and huffed watching the heat vaporize in the air.

“I’m not beholden to any of the Hidden leaders.”

I told her, trying to keep from sounding like a rebellious teenager.

“Yeah, trust me, I know that. If you ask me, they are lucky you didn’t burn the damn place down, considering how dirty they just did you.”

Spencer said, and I could see the ferocious edge of defense in her eyes. We were not family at all, yet we both felt a deep connection in that we were the only ones of our kind here, and each of us shared similar ancestry. The succubae were supposedly sired by a long distant shade. For two beings of a chaotic ancestry stranded on a world that looks down its nose on us, we feel a profound resonance with each other, even if our paths have diverged. Spencer works as a detective with the Hidden immortal police force in New York. Me, well, I suppose I am more of a lone wolf and her nix vanguard.

“I’m really busy trying to keep these zombies from scratching more humans right now. Besides, not sure you heard, but the cat is out of the bag, and the humans are starting to circle us curiously.
