Zulu and I sat on a roof across from Guerilla Ink, a tattoo parlor and front of Mixbreeds for Equality’s headquarters. Blue and white bricks made up the whole building. On the outside it resembled a small shop. On the inside, it boasted a huge amount of space—a big lobby with a sculpture hanging from the ceiling and fluorescent painted speakers blasting reggae music, five full bedrooms, even more bathrooms, two little offices, and a massive warehouse space in the far back where all of the Rebels used to hang out, playfully fight in beast form, and smoke.

Earlier after stepping through the Bottelli portal, we took our time and headed back to MFE. All of the prisoners we released had fled without a thanks or any concern that we’d made it through ourselves. Zulu remained in Prime form, something he barely did out in the open in Santeria, but things had changed us. Too many died and the more we sank into tribulations the more our enemies multiplied and united together.

Enough was enough.

After my initial glee of being out of the vamp compound, I waited in an empty alley as he flew the Mermaid to Orisha Beach and placed her in the water. He’d promised her that he would return, but he said she swam off before he could even finish, probably thinking that since she was at the beach she could swim away to freedom. She would find out eventually that the habitat boundary wall wrapped around the beach too.

When he flew back, we decided to head to MFE. We’d only been a few blocks away when Zulu sniffed out the stink of Rebels. Without even asking if it was a good idea or not, Zulu seized me, launched in the air, and put us on a roof right across the street from MFE. It was a good thing too. About thirty Rebels stood outside in that half human, half beast form. Fur coated their bodies. They stood on two feet, instead of four. Most of their eyes, noses and mouths remained Human. Some wore no bottom clothes and let their tails wag back and forth.

“They’re trying to take over MFE.” Zulu’s fangs shined in the moonlight.

Nona stepped out of the front door of Guerilla Ink and gestured for some of the Rebels to come inside. We ducked down behind the roof’s ledge.

“Correction.” I frowned. “They have taken over MFE. There’s no way my father is in there, not with a bunch of Rebels going in and out.”

“Maybe they … hurt him.”

“No.” I shook my head. “The place would’ve looked damaged and on fire. Dad’s not there and, if he’s not there, then Ben isn’t. I hope.”

Did you leave him, dad? Please say you didn’t just leave Ben there by himself.

More Rebels strolled up to the door and entered. “How the fuck did they even get past the glamour you had over the whole building? It was supposed to prevent people who meant MFE harm from getting inside.”

Zulu peeked back over the edge.
