CHAPTER 12

No one said anything about what happened at the Mentor Meeting the following week. By the cautious looks everyone shot me, it was obvious they wanted to, though. I suspected Adam or Peter—or maybe even Kristina—had told them not to say anything. That meeting was one of the shortest, but by the next week, things were back to normal. People continued to ask me questions, but, thankfully, they avoided talking about my parents.

Tasha’s birthday was, surprisingly, more stressful. Chris hadn’t been allowed into New Orlando to take her out to dinner like he’d planned, so he felt guilty. She told him not to worry about it, but he felt bad all around because none of us had been into New Orlando since he’d been barred from going. (We’d all agreed not to go again until Chris could.) When that didn’t work, Linc mocked Chris and told him he’d definitely expect dinner for his birthday, which was a week after Tasha’s.

I didn’t know if it was Linc’s words that made Chris feel better or Tasha telling him they were even since she’d broken his arm, but he stopped looking so guilty after that. And I wasn’t sure how it happened, but we all ended up agreeing to some kind of double-date thing the first time Chris was allowed into New Orlando again (whenever that would be).

Two days after Linc’s birthday, Greene canceled my first Mentor Meeting of March because Linc and I had been scheduled for a priority C&C. At four in the afternoon, he sent us down to the Weapons Room. Adam and Dale were there waiting, along with a few other agents I’d seen around.

Standing at the middle console, Adam motioned us in and pointed to the screen in front of him. “This is where we’re going,” he said, jumping right in as we moved closer to him. “Residential area, not too heavily populated. Since it’s Sunday, it should be even quieter by the time we get there.”

“What demon or demons are we after?” I asked.

Adam grinned. “Apparently ones who should—we’re hoping—like you a little more than they’ll like us. Serptera demons.”

Linc glanced at me. “Was that the tentacle one?”

“No.” I shook my head. “That was the Octogator and its definitely on the Foe List since it tried strangling me. The Serptera, aka Batcoon, was the one that had bat wings.”

“Oh, yeah. The one that got the short end of the stick since it has wings but can’t fly.” He shot me a quick grin. “The one you said was cute.”

“I said they weren’t ugly. There’s a difference.” Though I probably had said they were cute—in a demony sort of way. They were related to the Sercoon, so they had the same big, monkey eyes.

He smirked. “Close enough.”

I kicked him in the shin and looked to Adam and Dale as Linc clutched his leg and hobbled up and down. “So, tell us what we’re doing before Linc makes the hunted list.”

After a quick laugh, Adam and Dale laid out the plan.
