“Have you seen Cord?” Bonnie asked Malini. “We’re on deck for quota tonight. Sun’s almost down.”

“No.” Malini tipped her face toward the ceiling. “Cord.”

“See? He has super hearing. Why isn’t he coming?” Bonnie asked.

“Cheveyo.” Malini tapped the boy, who was stuffing his face with a ham sandwich, on his shoulder. “Have you seen Cord?”

He shook his head.

“What’s going on?” Jacob asked.

“We can’t find Cord,” Bonnie said.

Dane turned in his seat. “Maybe he’s in his room. He really likes to hang out by the holy water, especially when he’s thinking things through.” Dane raised an eyebrow at Malini.

Bonnie broke away from the group and jogged up the stairs, navigating the toppled pews and fallen statues. She passed through the door to what used to be the foyer of the church, where an enormous holy water font remained unscathed from the initial Watcher attacks. When she saw Katrina soaking weapons, she pulled up short.

“Have you seen Cord?”

With a haunting rattle, Katrina pulled the chain she’d been washing from the water and placed it on top of a pile of clean weapons. She nodded her head. “Sure, about an hour ago.” Standing tall, she placed her hands on her hips and stretched her back.

“We can’t find him. Did he say where he was going?”

Katrina narrowed her eyes. “Not exactly. He apologized to me, I forgave him, and then he said he was going to do something that really mattered to thwart Lucifer. He wanted to make it up to all of you.”

Bonnie marched forward until she was almost on top of Katrina. “Why didn’t you say anything? Where did he go?”

“I didn’t think he meant now, like literally. I thought he meant over time … by working with all of you.”

“But you saw him leave?”

“Of course, but he pops in and out of the room all the time. Where are you going?” Katrina called at her back.

Bonnie ignored her. With long strides, she returned to Sanctuary and stormed to Malini’s side. “He’s gone. Cord is gone.”

“He’s defected,” Lillian said, standing from her place at the table. “I knew this would happen. We should have never trusted him.”

“Shut up,” Bonnie snapped.

Everyone stopped eating. Silence bombarded her in the form of pointed stares from all sides. A Horseman simply did not yell at a council member, but Bonnie needed to speak her mind.

“Katrina told me he said he was going to do something to try to make it up to us for his past. I have a terrible feeling he went to spy on Lucifer. The sun is going down; he travels through light. What if he gets trapped there? What if something went wrong?”

“Calm down, Bonnie. We don’t know for sure where he went,” Malini said.

“Or if he were telling the truth,” Lillian said.

“He’s an angel. He can’t lie,” Bonnie said. “I of all people didn’t want to trust Cord, but he saved me twice. He’s had ample opportunity to leave, Lillian, and he hasn’t. He’s on our side.”

“Unless he was gathering enough to make a difference for Lucifer.
