Chapter Twenty-Five

Aisling leaned forward. “You said veil. The rest of Area 42 doesn’t seem to officially like that word.”

“We don’t either. Officially.” Greely gave a grimace. “The idea that the veil has become flexible enough to pull something that massive in and is now spitting out pieces, apparently randomly, is horrifying. I’m almost as old as Harlie. I grew up being told stories about the other side of the veil. If the things they left behind are truly able to come through, and they are as dangerous as the myths say, we will lose. I don’t think there’s another veil we can escape through this time.”

“And so, to avoid mass hysteria, even among their own agents, they just won’t use the word? I didn’t think Area 42 agents were that delicate.” Caradoc glanced around the room.

“I think the higher ups have more information on all of these events than they are letting on, and they’re freaking out is coming from that.” Reece had been sitting back, but he’d been watching everyone. “If the horror that the fey fled from is coming through the veil, everyone needs to be prepared. Avoiding the word doesn’t change the threat.”

Bart’s phone cut in before anyone else could add anything. He saw the number and got up. “I’ll take this upstairs.” With a nod he left the room.

“What say we bring out some food? Nothing can be resolved right now, and we still have a lot to talk about.” Greely was cheerful as he went to the kitchen, but his eyes seemed to darken when he glanced at Harlie.

Jones went to help Greely and Reece moved over to the sofa Aisling was on. “How are you feeling?” He kept his voice low.

“I’m fine, just tired. Do you know Greely or the other two agents?” It was great that Bart knew Greely, but even in her fatigued state something felt off. Of course, it could be from the whole fake Area 42 medics trying to kidnap or kill her. Bound to make a person suspicious.

“Only by name. Greely is old school, like he said, he’s almost as old as Harlie, and has been in Area 42 since it was formed three hundred years ago. He being the one to meet us kinda makes me think things are far worse than we thought. Even after that cheerful conversation we just had. He is admitting that the veil breaking down is a possibility and not trying to deny it.”

Aisling watched him as he watched the others in the kitchen. “But? There is a but hanging there.”

He turned back to her. “But, I think we’ve all been too complacent that Area 42 was unassailable. That smacked us all hard. Outside of the people on that plane we just came in on, I don’t know who can be trusted.”

“Agreed.” Caradoc dropped down on the other side of her. “And something is setting off Harlie. He used to go into these trance states when he was living in his cave in Nepal when something serious got him thinking.
