It was nearly midnight. We arrived at the motel, led Chuck into our room, and tied him to a chair.

“I’m starving,” said Connie, sinking onto the bed.

“Yeah, me too,” I said, dropping down next to her.

“Let’s order pizza. There must be twenty-four hour delivery here.” Connie grabbed her phone.

“Seriously?” Nate looked at her. “We have work to do.” He pointed his hand at Chuck.

“What?” Connie shrugged. “He’s not going anywhere. Besides, they still need to make it and deliver.” She grinned as she glanced at Logan. “Should I count you too? You just ate. Maybe you’re not hungry.”

I couldn’t suppress my laughter, and Sam laughed along with me. Staring at Connie, Nate shook his head, then turned his eyes to Logan.

“What did you do to her? She seemed normal when I first met her.”

“Let me do that.” Smiling, Logan pulled the phone out of Connie’s hand.

“Kate, won’t your father be looking for you?” asked Brian.

“No.” She shook her head quickly. “I told him I’m staying at my friend’s place tonight.” Leaning against the wall, she turned her guilty look on Nate. “I’m sorry. Nate, I was about to leave, but one of them came from behind—”

“Kate, the first rule—follow orders. I asked you to watch them for a couple of hours, and you stayed the whole day. How do you think would I feel if something had happened to you?” Nate pushed his hands into his pockets and leaned on the desk. “And look what they did to you.”

“I’m fine. It was my fault, and you shouldn’t worry about it.”

“Are you kidding?” Nate stared at her. “They hurt you, Kate.”

“I wanted to help,” she said, twisting the lace hanging from her hoodie around her finger. “They killed my mom, Nate. I wanted to do something to help you.”

My insides turned. Nate and I exchanged a glance. Brian glared at Chuck, who sat staring at the TV, his eyes still a bit foggy.

“We know, Kate,” said Sam quietly. “We feel the same way.”

“I’m sorry,” murmured Kate. “I know that you all . . . I shouldn’t have said that.”

With a grim look on her face, Connie got up.

“Let’s do this,” she said, stepping behind Chuck’s chair. She closed her eyes and grabbed his head tightly, like she was trying to crush it. It took a moment before she spoke. “Connor. He’s thinking about this man, Connor.”

On the word “Connor,” Chuck blinked, then stared at us.

Nate and Brian exchanged a glance.

Connie opened her eyes. “He remembers that he lost his powers, and all he’s thinking about right now is that Connor is going to kill him.”

“Do you know who it is?” Sam glanced first at Brian, then at Nate.

“Yeah,” Nate replied. “It’s their leader.”

“Start asking him questions,” said Connie. “It might help if you stir his thoughts a bit first.”

“Where am I?” Chuck frowned. “Why did you bring me here?”

“We’ll be the ones asking questions,” growled Brian.

“What questions? I’m not telling you anything.”

“Oh, you will,” said Nate, “one way or another. Look at us.
