Alex pressed a button on the keypad mounted on the wall, and the door made an audible click. She pulled the steel door open and looked at the two vampires inside.

“I hope this isn’t a conjugal visit,” Jaden said, when he saw her.

“It really isn’t,” Alex said.

“Prison break?” Owl asked hopefully. “Are we going rogue again?”

“Nope,” Alex said with a smile. “I’m here with full authorization of the Council. Maryana radioed us. Suddenly the Council decided having two vampires on our side might not be the worst idea. So, you are prisoners no more.”

Jaden got to his feet and stretched. His strange, twisted knees made a cracking sound. “Everyone on New Haven is a prisoner, Alex. They just have a bigger cell.”

Alex shook her head. “You keep pulling that wise old man thing and I’m going to lock you back in there.”

“It’s the truth. Especially for me. I can’t go back to Agartha, or I’ll infect my friends.”

Alex shrugged. “If you’re stuck, you might as well make the best of it. Have you considered military service?”

Jaden raised an eyebrow. “Are you asking me what I think you’re asking me?”

“Look, we’re both agreed that we need to take that crazy bitch down. And I suddenly find myself a little shorthanded.” She paused. “There’d be some stipulations, of course. You’d have to be a team player. No shady side missions. No secrets. We need to trust each other, and that means you tell me what you know. Don’t hold back because of vampire traditions or whatever other bullshit excuse you usually use.”

He looked at her for a long moment. “The Council is on board for this?”

“Very much so.”

“Then, for as long as Maryana is alive, I agree to your terms.”

Owl crossed her arms. “Just to be clear, I get my job back too, right?”

“Oh, that goes without saying. Chuck could barely keep us in the sky.” Alex turned back to Jaden and held out her hand. “Welcome to the GMT.”
