Chapter 5

Kaylan let out a breath. She and Sierra had just come close to being choked to death. Had their disguises really been so transparent?

Elijah, we’re okay. You don’t need to worry about us, she said. Everything is under control.

You’re still stuck in there, he protested.

“Geez, I thought she’d torture first before she suffocated us,” Sierra muttered. “Now what do we do?”

“Get the hell out of here.”

“Maybe you should let Elijah help us.”

She bit her lip and shook her head. “No, not yet.”

She didn’t want to call Elijah in unless they had to. He’d be angry they had gone off alone but it had to be done.

Kaylan searched through the jumbled memories of her alias and keyed in the code to the door. It slid open, she drew a knife as she and Sierra appeared out into the hallway. It was empty.

“Freya wouldn’t let us go so easily,” she murmured.

“I think we should get out of here,” Sierra said, shoving the pages of the book into her backpack.

Kaylan reached out to Elijah with her mind, relieved to sense he was okay. “Shouldn’t we go through the stuff in here first?” she said. “There might be a clue to where we can find the book.”

“Kay, I have a bad feeling. Let’s go. Please.”

“Okay.” She scanned the hall one more time, motioned for Sierra to follow.

Sierra pulled out her stunner as they moved.

Kaylan tried using her heightened senses, relieved her powers had started to recover. The sound of another heartbeat caught her attention just as a stream of energy shot towards them. She shoved Sierra back and hit the ground as a blast of energy hit the wall behind them.

Kaylan gripped her knife, flung it towards their assailant. It narrowly missed his head as he yelped and ducked.

Sierra let off a stream and he slumped to the floor, unconscious. “Hey, isn’t that Norbert?”

Kaylan squinted as she knelt to examine the old man. “Yeah, it’s him alright.”

“Why is he attacking us?”

“Let’s find out.” She pulled Norbert up by his shoulders, dragged him into the lab and tied him to a chair with rope from her pack. She checked his pulse again to make sure the stunner hadn’t caused any damage.

“How long is he going to be out?” Sierra asked, shifting from foot to foot. “I want to get out of here.”

“Not yet.” Kaylan pulled out a smelling salt, held it under Norbert’s nose.

The old man jolted awake, gasping for breath. “What the – Jasmine, what are you doing?”

“I’ll ask the questions. You must know who we are, so cut the crap. What did Freya order you to do?” Kaylan demanded.

Sierra held up her stunner. “I’d answer her if I were you – unless you want another jolt. This time, I’ll make sure it’s low enough for you to stay awake and feel all the pain.”

He flinched and glared at them. “I know you’re not the real Jasmine and Emmeline. You may look like them, but I know they went missing a couple of hours ago,” he said.
