Chapter Fifteen

Thadius pulled into a side street. I peered into the darkness and my heart hit the bottom of my feet when I recognised where we were.

I gripped the back of the seat in front of me wanting, needing anything to stall time. “How do we know this journal is still there? Has anyone even thought of that?” My voice was a lot higher than it normally was. Probably because being the key to a more than possible apocalypse to an insane man wanting to be King of Souls was weighing on my mind.

“Good thinking, Cassie. I’ll be back and let you know.” In an instant, Elliot disappeared.

I pictured the precinct when I had visited it in the Grey-Mists. It hadn’t been the best of times as we’d been chased by Black John’s thugs and Elliot’s partner turned dirty, Sam. And I’d been fighting for my life.

“How long do you think he’ll…” Laura flinched when Elliot reappeared outside the jeep, a shadowy figure in the darkness.

I squeaked and flattened my hand on my chest, “Geez, Elliot. Think you can give us a head’s up when you do that!”

He looked a little ashamed, but his eyes gleamed with excitement as we stepped out of the jeep. At least Mum and Dad had the good sense to listen to reason and stayed at Thadius’ house to stay on the police airwaves. If they heard anything, they were to let us know.

“It’s still there. The journal. Right where I left it. In the box in my cabinet. After all this time.”

Elliot gazed at me with those deep emerald eyes of his. I could look into them forever, right into their deepest depths. Just like the time we’d travelled to Sydney, and he’d shown me the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It had just opened and there were so many people vying for the best view and he’d looked at me just like he was now.

Which was absolutely impossible. Construction finished in 1932. Half a century before I was even born. It wasn’t a memory because I was never there. Then why on earth did that image pop into my mind? Maybe having an unwanted entity in my brain was making me insane. When this was all over, an eviction was going to be taking place. My body, my house. None of that ‘your house, my house’ crap. I really didn’t like to share.

I ignored the growling hiss in my mind.

“You okay, Cassie?” Elliot frowned at me.

I pressed my lips together in what I hoped looked like a smile rather than a grimace. “Just wondering how we’re going to get in.”

“There’s a back entrance. A sensor light and camera. Can you disarm it, Thadius?” Elliot said.

Thadius held up some sort of device, “I’ve got everything covered. This little baby will let us in there for ten minutes undetected.”

“You can do all that from that little thing?” Thomas asked.

“It’s not about the size. It’s all about how to pack power into something you can put in your pocket,” Thadius said.
