Chapter Seven

Maddie was completely focused on the coin—or seemed to be—for many moments. “You found a lost city at the bottom of a sinkhole?”

Claire frowned. “That’s what it looked like to me. I don’t guess we’ll ever know now, though. It was flooded when the trench opened up and filled with debris from half the city falling in.”

Maddie blinked at her. “What? Oh my god! What city? Tampa?”

Claire wasn’t surprised her sister had no knowledge of what they’d found at the bottom of that sinkhole. In the first place, Madelyn could focus like nobody else Claire knew, blocking out pretty much everything and everybody around her. In the second, the dig she and her team were currently working on was in the back of nowhere—so far from civilization of any kind she was sure very little news about the world filtered to them here. And in the third—well, she might well be the only person still living who knew about it.

That thought sent a cold shiver of fear through her.

Maybe she shouldn’t tell Madelyn at all? Was she putting her sister in mortal danger by doing so?

Maddie stared at her. “Don’t clam up on me now! Tell me!”

Claire bit her lip. “It could be dangerous for you to know.”

Maddie blinked at her. “What? That doesn’t make any sense, Claire!”

“It makes way more sense than you think!” She realized that she’d already said too much, however. Maddie wasn’t going to let it go until she had the whole story and, truthfully, Claire had always considered knowledge was the best weapon against danger. Generally, the more people who knew a dangerous secret, the less ‘secret’ it was, and the less likely it was to be contained by knocking off people, then the more pointless it was to try. “He said there were things we weren’t allowed to know and it could mean our death to pry ….”

“Who? Who told you that?”

“Father Moreno.”

“Who? Who the hell is Father Moreno?”

Claire shook her head. “I need to start at the beginning to make any sense at all—not that it does to me anyway—make sense! But maybe it will make some sense to you—The angel, Dante, was disguised as Father Moreno the first time I met him ….”

“Oh! That makes it crystal clear! And then he told you he was an angel?”

Claire narrowed her eyes at her sister. “Don’t talk to me like I’m a nut case! You’re the one that was going on about the flying saucer!”

Madelyn sucked in a calming breath and let it out slowly. “Ok. Right. How was he disguised? I mean, how do you know he’s really an angel?”

“Well, there was the wings,” Claire said dryly. “Look! I don’t know how he managed to look completely human when he was dressed like a priest, but I guess he has the ability to manipulate people’s perceptions. He’s telepathic.”

Madelyn frowned. “Well, maybe he made you think he looked like an angel when in reality he’s human?”

Claire shrugged. “And the flying saucer?”

Madelyn blinked at her several times.
