Chapter 6

Come on, Sully. Pick up the freaking phone already. Standing in one of the few remaining phone booths in all of Manhattan I tucked my body inward, trying to shield myself from the stares of passersby. I wasn’t surprised that I was attracting more than a few stares given how I looked. I was blooded from head to toe, my clothing was torn apart and I looked like I had just been on the losing side of a fistfight with a brick wall. Every other person who walked by the booth glanced at me and raised an eyebrow or two at my appearance though thankfully none of them cared enough about how I looked to stop and try to help.

It wasn’t my choice to stand out on the street using a phone booth. My outburst after realizing what had happened in the parking garage had shattered not only a car by destroyed my phone as well. Or maybe it was the fight with the vamp that destroyed my phone. Either way, with no quick way to get in touch with Sully I was left with the option of going into a nearby business and asking to use their phone or using a phone booth instead. I chose the latter since I didn’t want to attract even more attention, though in hindsight it might have been better to do the former.

“Dammit Sully!” I slammed the phone back on the receiver and picked it back up. I touched the side of the phone box and sent a small burst of energy through it, heard the confirmation that money had been deposited—ha!—and then I punched in the number for Sully’s pawn shop for the third time.

Sully never carried a cellphone but I had never known him to stray far enough from his shop to miss three phone calls to the place in a row. When I finally heard the receiver on the other end pick up I was beside myself and started talking before the person at the other end could get a word in edgewise.

“Sully? Thank goodness! Listen, something bad happened. Something really really bad. I was attacked, except it wasn’t a regular attack. The elder must have known where I was going because it set up the most elaborate ruse I’ve ever seen and—”

“William?” The voice on the other end of the phone was not Sully’s and I stopped short.

“Sam?”

“William! Thank goodness you called! I’ve been calling your phone the last half hour and haven’t been able to reach you!”

“Yeah, I uh… kind of lost my phone. Wait, you’ve been calling me?” I frowned. “Why have you been trying to call me, Sam? And where’s Sully?”

“That’s what I’ve been trying to reach you about, Will!” I realized for the first time since she started speaking that Sam’s voice was frantic and full of worry.

“What’s going on, Sam?”

“Sullivan went out just a little while after you left. When I found his note I started trying to call you. Isn’t he there
