Thirty-Two

Alec studies my faces, watches me like the insane woman beginning to show. “How?”

“Well, I promised myself and another experiment that I would bust him out. And then I’m going to wage war against Glass. He can’t keep doing this to people.”

“Bust who out?”

“A guy.”

“Oh, I see.”

He’s smiling and I growl. “It’s not like that.”

I wish it was.

“Uh, huh. Who is this guy anyway?”

“Now, that is the question, isn’t it, Alec?” I smile. “Zane Rothstein. Former spy, follower of my father, an experimental werewolf, the man who taught me how to fight ruthlessly and the man I promised to get him out, even if he refuses to help me fight Richard Glass.”

“So basically,” Alec says, “You want to break into Glass Tech to help a dangerous experiment who won’t help you. And then you want to start a war against the most powerful man in the city.”

“That basically covers it.”

He’s grinning. “You really haven’t changed, you know. Same old Kate trying to save the world all on her own.”

“You make me sound like a hero or something.”

“Maybe you are.”

I shake my head. Time for a new subject. “I need to lay low. No one can know I’m alive or where I am. I caused a disturbance at Glass Tech when I escaped. Made a lot of people angry.”

“Typical.”

I roll my eyes. “I need somewhere to hide, Alec.”

“You can hang out in the basement of my house,” he offers. “No one is ever down there.”

“You sure?”

I can’t afford to be noticed. Not by anyone. Not the butler or the maid or his parents. No one.

“Positive. Kate, that house has too many rooms. The basement doesn’t even have anything down there. The door is always locked and the house is mostly empty all the time anyway. The butler will be in the house but he certainly won’t go down into the basement. He has better things to do.”

Rich kid problems. Too many rooms, not enough people.

“Okay. Let’s go to your place. Will it be empty right now?”

“Yeah. The butler is taking a couple days off for family business. Why?”

“Because I need a mirror.” I touch my hair gingerly. “And a shower.”
