Chapter Twenty-seven

“Aw, man, why don’t you do anything cool up here?” Parker kicked at the dirt. “Just a normal, stupid canyon. At least make it animated or something. This is boring as hell.”

“It won’t be boring once you’re getting your ass kicked, Parker, so just shut up.” Calvin focused on the ledge he’d arranged for Fiona. He brought it closer to the clearing so she could observe them.

“So what’d you tell Evie? This must be the first weekend you guys have spent apart in months. I bet she’s freaking out.”

“It is our first weekend apart. Not to mention that I hardly saw her all week. Sucks. I told her we were going camping, but that we’d be back tonight.”

Parker rubbed his hands over his face. “Does that mean I’ll actually get some sleep? Can’t believe how late we stayed last night.”

Calvin nodded. “I know. Let’s wrap it up by ten. I’ve got to see Evie.” A thick darkness clung to his final words–a sense of doom and guilt.

Parker helped Fiona onto the ledge. “So how would you like to come clubbing with me tonight?” he asked her.

“No thanks.”

“What? Why not?”

Fiona settled onto the rock. With her legs dangling over the edge, she smiled at him, silent.

“Forget it,” Parker said.

“Same thing today?” Calvin readied himself to create a few beefy brutes to wrestle with.

Fiona bit at her bottom lip. “Well, something a little different, actually.”

“Aw, great.” Parker moaned.

“I’ve told you how I can sort of hear Jocelyn, right?”

Calvin nodded, remembering how tripped out he’d been by the idea that Fiona could actually tune in to that psycho’s thoughts.

“Well she’s deep into the plotting phase,” Fiona said. “Which means I’ve heard what she has in store.”

The pace of Calvin’s heart increased as he leaned in for the details, wondering how the latest developments would affect Evie. Hoping it wasn’t too late to break her free of it all.

Fiona swung her dangling legs in circles as she spoke. “Right now she’s testing people–exploring all the minds she can access. She’s searching for the most obedient follower she can sink her thoughts into. We call it nudging. Through nudging eager followers, Jocelyn can easily weed out the distracted ones and focus on the most driven and loyal.”

“So who is she nudging? Can you see these people?” The idea gave Calvin hope. They would have a huge advantage if they knew who was coming at them.

“No. In fact, I can’t connect well with her during the nudging process. Only for bouts in between. And that’s the down-side–I won’t be able to hear her at all once she’s narrowed down her candidates, because she’ll be nudging them constantly, keeping them under her watch. At that point, she’ll become silent to me.”

Calvin nodded. “So once she’s silent, we’ll know she’s about to strike?”

“We’ll know she’s got a few choice candidates. It could still take her another month or more; it’s hard to say. One thing I do know, is that she–or rather, the person she’ll possess–will be working with a dagger.
