Chapter 12

“How do you have a Magical talking Unicorn?” Victoria asked me.

I smiled. “You folks claimed to know everything about me, but it seems you know nothing. Fergus is my friend and my friends all have depths of which you haven’t imagined yet.”

The human Mage looked to her boss who nodded and signaled with his hand. “Ok. Is he dangerous?”

“We’re all dangerous. That’s both the business and the way we are. It’s what you do with power that makes you who you are. We going to go stop the bad guy and save the world any time soon?” I asked. “Sitting here talking about it isn’t getting the Demon out of my aunt. How about we cut through that warehouse area over there.”

Xavier consulted a small tablet he pulled out of his cargo pants pocket. “That might work. Sat imagery shows it as a shortcut. If we thread our way through the warehouses over there we might be able to sneak into the market area.”

Reaching out with my Magickal senses, I scanned the area ahead of us. Other than Chuck and Cat I could only feel humans. “Cat, can you hear me? I whispered. “We’re shifting to the left into the warehouse area.”

“There is no way those Weres’ hearing is that good,” Victoria remarked.

“You have your secrets, I have mine. They’ll be there when we need them,” I replied.

The members of the other team all looked skeptical except for Hamilton. He had more of a shrewd look. I made a mental note to stay away from him. Fake Jedi or not, his actions were those of a fanatic, and that sort of person will both surprise and challenge you. The special communication system my team used was unique. Only we possessed it, and I’d never informed the FBI that we had it. Chuck had taken a standard Special Operations earbud system and upgraded. Add in a little bit of Magick and boom! We could communicate without interference for more than a hundred miles. How did I do it? No idea. I did it almost a year ago, well before I gained the second bracelet and almost total control over my Magick. I’ve studied the earbuds a few times but never tried to tamper with them. Chuck had the foresight to have me zap a whole case of them rather than just enough for the team. He told me later it was in case only a few worked.

This part of Charleston was interesting. Gigantic cruise ships lined the left river banks along the piers. Right beside them were old shipping warehouses and wharfs. In my mind’s eye, I could see antique sailing ships cruising up and down the river, heading out to sea or putting in for supplies. My hometown of Briarwood might be one of the oldest settlements in the United States, but this town dripped history. Back home we had Grandmother’s house and just a couple of old structures, but Charleston had it all! If we weren’t hunting I could see us spending a week or two just exploring this place.
