CHAPTER 31

I rushed into the Djinn Ink Club and raced through to the back where Elaine, Ted, and Glenn were located. Muscles Milton had chased after me but was dismissed with a flick of Elaine’s wrist. He did not look pleased about that.

Tough shit.

“What is it?” Elaine asked.

“We’ve found Sylvester’s hideout,” I explained, “and he’s got sentries roaming the area. I was hoping I could get you or one of your people to help us extract information from them. He should be out back of this building right now.”

Elaine didn’t even hesitate. She took a brisk walk through the various cubicles along the back of the office, stepped out into the night air but stayed inside of the hidden zone that protected the exit from being seen.

“That him?” she whispered as we watched the guy I’d seen earlier clomping past.

He could see into a null zone, just like any super, but even super’s eyes couldn’t penetrate a hidden zone unless there was magic involved.

“Yes,” I answered, sniffing the air once more just in case. “He may be able to contact his base, though, so we have—”

Elaine put her finger to her lips and then motioned me to stay put.

She walked out of the zone in the opposite direction that the sentry was moving, clearly wanting to ensure he didn’t just see her blink into existence. That would have jarred him, for sure.

After a few steps, she turned around, looked at the man’s back, rolled her eyes, and then proceeded to fall down.

“Ouch,” she yelped, acting as though she were injured.

The guy jumped and spun around, looking ready to pounce. Then he saw Elaine on the ground and rushed over to help her.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting that.

“Are you okay, lady?” he asked as he helped her to her feet. “It’s like you came out of nowhere.”

“Oh,” she replied, feigning lightheadedness. “I was just leaving the shop through that door there,” she pointed, “and I guess I stepped wrong or something.”

The poor guy looked quite concerned for her well-being. That made me kind of feel bad because I had the sneaking suspicion that he was going to be pushing up daisies soon. This is what happened when you played for the bad guys, though. Of course it also happened when you played for the good guys, but thankfully not as often.

“Is there anything I can do?” he asked. “Maybe I can help you to your car?”

“That would be lovely,” she replied as she put her hand on his neck.

He slumped almost instantly as Elaine stood up straight, stopping the pain act and regaining her composure.

“He’s out,” she announced. “Let’s get him inside and see what he knows.”

“That was fast,” I replied, grabbing the guy by his arm and leading him toward the door. His face resembled what I remembered those zombies from months ago looking like. Zoned out. “I thought it took a little while to put people at your mercy?”

“It does,” she stated, “but he was already halfway there. That’s why I played the damsel-in-distress card.
