Chapter 10

Charlie shifted in her seat as Cate and Drake both took her hands. Electricity jolted through the circle of joined hands. Reliving her team’s final moments was her worst nightmare.

Relax, little witch. Drake’s voice soothed at the edge of her mind.

Shit, would everyone else be able to hear that? She’d noticed Lana giving Drake the eye all the way through the meeting and had felt a smug sense of satisfaction when Lana had realised she and Drake were linked. Good, the bitch was pissed off. Drake was her demon. That thought scared her. Maybe it was because he’d been so nice after what had happened, or because he’d saved her life again. Or maybe she’d started to warm to him.

“I don’t remember much about that day,” she told them.

“It’s okay, Charlie. Just let the vision drag you in,” Cate said.

Charlie squeezed her eyes shut, heart pounding as the room faded. She found herself back in the warehouse, lying on the floor, gun in hand.

Getting excited for the big promo, huh? Natalia chuckled.

“Nat?” Charlie said, frowning at the image of her former partner.

“Focus,” Lana snapped.

Goddess, that bitch really needed a slap. This is my fucking memory!

Ignore her, Drake said. Concentrate on what you saw.

She clutched her gun, felt the familiar weight of it in her arms. I can’t do this.

Yes, you can, little witch. I’m right here with you.

So are you and Scott going to have your own celebration? Natalia grinned. Or are you still arguing about moving in together?

I could kill for a drink. Charlie had thought. And Scott…that’s complicated.

Come on, Charlie. You’ve been doing the long-distance thing for over a year now. You can’t keep leading the guy on.

“Ladies, I hate to interrupt the chitchat, but we have a job to do here,” Simon’s voice echoed in her ear and made Charlie’s heart skip a beat. She missed that voice, the one who’d trained her, been almost like a second father to her.

“Aye, aye, captain.” She gave him a mock salute, causing Nat to stifle a snort.

“You know how important this deal is, guys.”

“Yeah, the big one before retirement,” Lou muttered.

“Incoming,” Charlie said as the door groaned open. In walked Moret and Simon’s contact carrying the box.

Target in position. Charlie stared through the scope of her rifle, zeroing in on the box, then glanced at her scanner.

That thing’s giving off some weird energy, Nat remarked. Watch yourself, boss.

So do we know what’s inside?

Negative, Lou answered. Scanner’s readings all over the place.

Charlie so wanted to cast her senses out to scan the box’s contents but she couldn’t risk anyone detecting the team’s presence.

Opening the box, Simon told them. Be ready for the takedown. Simon flipped the lead. Blue light exploded around them with a roar of thunder.

“Shit!” Charlie squeezed her eyes shut, feeling the floor give way. Then she was falling. She let out a scream as her body hit the ground, hard. Her ears rang, her eyes blinded by the blazing blue light. Blackness pulled under as she lay there, gasping for breath.
