Chapter 9

Tessa watched Bart disappear around yet another corner. For a chubby guy, he could sure move. If he was upset about the concept of drugging the whole hospital, did that mean he was on their side? At least maybe he wasn’t on the bad guys’ side. He had to have some conscience in there.

She opened her vision to study the figure in front of her. His energy was fast, energized, and definitely not black.

In fact, she couldn’t see anything like that on him. So he’d not been taking or been given any of the blood farm drugs as far as she could see. Feeling better, she quickly shared her findings with Cody.

“Do you trust him?” Cody asked.

“To try and disappear as soon as he can? To find a way to stay out of trouble? To avoid getting into trouble? Yes to all three.” She picked up the speed as he raced ahead. How is he going so fast? That’s not like anything she’d seen before…except Hortran. Nah, Bart is as far from being a Ghost as I am.

Why? It’s not like we’ve seen more than one Ghost to be able to make assumptions about them all.

I think he’d have said something or been something special if he were a Ghost.

He is special. Just not the way you might think. The snigger in Cody’s voice made her laugh.

It felt good to be back on track with him. In spite of Bart’s presence, or maybe because of it, she felt better. More normal.

Anything that helped her feel more grounded in this energy vortex she was living in was a good thing.

Bart slowed to a halt then took one half step forward, his head tilted to the side as if listening for something.

She tuned in her hearing, feeling more energy pulses there than she’d ever felt before. She toned it down and then tweaked the colors playing around beside her. Instantly, her hearing sharpened and the voices sounded clear as a bell in her ears.

Only she didn’t understand a word they were saying.

She turned to Cody, who’d snuck up beside her. “I can hear them, but I don’t understand the language.”

He looked at her oddly. “Doesn’t Deanna know it?”

Tessa shook her head. She’d have to wonder that later. “No. I’m not getting any indication that she did.”

Cody nodded then nudged her shoulder. “Looks like Bart might.”

Bart spun back to look at her; he mouthed something but she didn’t understand. She sidled closer, not wanting to alert the others to their presence. When she was beside him, she asked him to repeat what he’d said.

“They are looking for me. They can’t get the second canister connected.”

“They have two?” Shit.

“Go join them as if someone sent you to help them out,” she whispered. “And we’ll come around and take them from behind.”

He glared at her. “No way. I brought you here. That’s all I’m going to do.” He gave a silent snort. “You’re the one with the death wish, not me.”

“But if you stay
