Chapter 21

"You better check on Scarlett," Izzy said.

"I bet I have a lot of apologizing to do."

I went to my Hydro mage and found her cowering in the corner. As I drew closer her eyes widened more and she moved back as if trying to push yourself through the wall. I held my hands out and made cooing sounds trying to relax her. While Scarlett didn't seem too impressed with my attempts to get her calm she did stop trying to push herself against the wall.

"I'm so sorry Scarlett. Please, please forgive me. I didn't mean to push you like that. I don't know what came over me and I'm not sure I know what's wrong, but I promise that I will never lay a hand on you again." My pleading didn't seem to work. The only thing that got Scarlett to stand and leave the corner with Izzy coming to her side and helping her to stand. My turtle led Scarlett out of the room and down the hall. Before leaving I went to Lassiter's desk and rifled through the files. Inside I found a lot paperwork for various clients and decided to take it all. With Lassiter dead I didn't know if his zombies would remain inert or come to life as some sort of a failsafe mechanism or dead man switch.

I found Izzy and Scarlett waiting for me in Izzy's car and I took my place in the backseat. Scarlett sat up front and refuse to turn back and look at me which I understood. Once again, I found myself wondering what was causing me to behave this way. Being so aggressive was not in my nature and not behavior I had ever exhibited before. So why now, what was causing me to be this way and how do I stop it. Willpower alone wasn’t doing the trick, so I had to figure something out before someone I cared about was hurt.

While we drove, I went through all the files I took from Lassiter's office. Several of them were invoices or requests for jobs from Arnold and his pack. What surprised me was that none of those pertaining to me in any way. The only jobs that were specifically tailored to affect me were the one to kidnap me and the one to destroy my home. Akash had hired Lassiter to kidnap me and according to the paperwork my father had hired Lassiter to destroy my home. I didn't know if my father was retaliating for me having stolen his Tua, or if he had another reason for what he did. One thing was certain I was going to find the answer.

As I looked through his paperwork, I also found something else very interesting. There were numerous jobs for various tasks everything from various tasks from providing security to acquiring a target and all of them were from a client simply known as mage. This brought up the question if mage was one person or many people.
