Chapter Fourteen

Personal guard flying in his wake, Ivar rocketed out of the mountain pass. Sheer cliffs gave way to thick forest as rough terrain smoothed out. His night vision sparked. He banked into a tight turn, then leveled out over a deserted two-lane highway. Night chill slipped over his scales. Ivar grimaced, but increased his wing speed anyway. His aversion to the cold didn’t matter. His fire dragon tendencies needed to take a backseat. Or at least, get on board.

He didn’t have time to fuck around.

The promise of catastrophe awaited . . . along with his superbug.

Ivar hummed. Superbug number three had taken hold. Now the virus wreaked havoc, infecting more humans by the hour. Nothing left to do now but pop in, take a look-see, and record the damage.

Descending through low-lying clouds, Ivar came up over the next rise. His warriors shifted in mid-flight, following his lead across the frozen landscape. Porch lights winked in the distance, then multiplied like brilliant dots on a map, drawing him toward the center of town. His night vision sharpened another notch, then settled, adjusting in urban glow. Cold mist dotting his scales, Ivar swung into a lazy turn and flew in on a slow glide.

Heavy clouds parted. Moonlight joined the glow of electric luminescence.

The gentle wash lit up shingled rooftops, drawing his attention to dark windows. Sleepy little hollow nestled at the base of the Cascades. Humans snug in their beds, behind closed doors, covers drawn up, eyes closed while each dreamed of—Ivar frowned. Hell, he didn’t know what humans dreamed about. Getting out of Boring-town USA, maybe?

Amused by the thought, he shook his head. Chilly air spiraled off the tips of horns, leaving a white contrail behind him. He descended another two hundred feet. Street lamps welcomed him, spilling illumination across sidewalks, acting like a runway rushing him toward the medical complex at the end of the avenue.

Cascade Valley Hospital. Arlington’s answer to essential services.

His eyes narrowed on the collection of buildings floating in a sea of asphalt. Lots of parking spaces up front, a strip of forest out back. Not much to look at from a distance. Even less to write home about. Kind of disappointing, actually. Not the sexiest place to unleash a supervirus, much less harvest the results, but . . .

Ivar sighed. What the hell. The location didn’t matter. He wasn’t looking for sexy. What he wanted was efficient. Deadly would work too.

Cloaked in an invisibility spell, he angled his wings and circled into a holding pattern above the facility. One rotation turned into another. His eyes narrowed, he made a third pass just to make sure. Yup. Satellite imaging hadn’t lied. Everything sat where it belonged—medical clinic to his right, new wing of the hospital to his left. Splitting the difference, he landed in the parking lot between the two. His talons clicked against pavement. Poised on his back paws, he wing flapped, stretching taut muscles. Wind rushed across the lot, whispering against steel. Parked cars rocked on tires as stone dust swirled onto the street.
