Michael flipped the screen around so they could see this description playing out with Gideon’s image on the camera. “It’s kind of like a Faraday cage, but for shifters,” Michael explained. “How in the hell did they know we were here?” he shouted, growing more agitated as he watched Gideon being tied at the feet and wrists.

“So, he can’t just turn into ether, or a small animal, and get away?” Nick beseeched.

“No, his powers are tied. No one has ever returned, so we don’t know how long it can keep his powers in check. They killed everyone else they’ve used it on pretty quickly. It takes them a day or two to do their stupid rituals before crushing the bones. Let’s hope he recovers his powers, or we find him, before then,” Michael continued. He stepped inordinately close to Nick, spinning him around as if looking for something. The action was so quick that it further disoriented Nick, still nauseated, who stumbled for a second. Michael leaned in close and smelled him. Nick recoiled slightly.

“What are you doing?” he said with disdain.

“Isda, I need nanobots—did they put a tracker on him?” Isda looked alarmed, and shifted quickly into a ‘mech bot’, which then broke down into a million tiny, nearly invisible pieces. She swarmed around Nick’s body, which added a vague itchiness to his existing list of residual symptoms from sensing the shift trap when the door opened. Now, it felt as if he had bugs crawling under his skin. He reflexively started to shift, and Michael yelled at him.

“DON’T shift! Hold still!” Michael bellowed. A few moments later, Isda reemerged as herself, holding a small, clear device the size of a headache capsule in her hand. Michael swiftly grabbed it, threw it on the ground and stepped on it, though their location was already burned now.

“They were tracking you! I knew that human could not be trusted! We never should have let you continue with that ridiculous pet!” Michael directed his ire at Nick, who was confused.

“Jared? Are you crazy? He doesn’t even know I’m a shifter? How on earth could they track me? And, where did they take Gideon?” Nick was frantic.

Isda was beside herself. “We don’t know where they took Gideon. My God, if they do anything to him…” she trailed off, lost in her own thoughts of how to approach the problem.

“Nick, we were working up to telling you this, but you just need to know. We think Jared’s father, correction—we know Jared’s father is the head of the human enemies. So far, we haven’t been able to tell if Jared is working with him or not. Up until now, our intelligence team actually thought he didn’t know, but I guess this puts that into question. Did you take any capsules when you were there?”

“No, wait, yes. I took a headache capsule from the bathroom medicine cabinet before we watched a movie. His father could not possibly be the head of the enemy humans. He was nice to me.
