We dumped the vampire behind the gates. I texted Sonja a photo of where I’d propped him up, like a courier taking a photo of a package to prove it had been delivered. The vamp was in a deathsleep, and would stay that way for a few more hours until he’d healed enough to be able to move. I didn’t have to worry about him waking up and disappearing on me. I raced back to the OE building, hoping that Marigold and Backman hadn’t beaten me back there. If they found out I left the kids unguarded, they would kill me.

We raced back to the center and flew inside. The rec room door was still firmly closed and locked. I breathed a sigh of relief, unlocked it, and pushed it open.

We walked into a wall of foam.

Thick bubbles filled the entire space. I couldn’t see more than a few inches into the room. For a second, I was stupidly confused, and gazed at the shimmery wall of foam, worried I’d opened a doorway to another dimension.

Then, I realized. “Leroy,” I muttered to myself. “You can’t just do a handful of shiny bubbles, can you?”

Luckily, though, I could hear the kids; shrieks of delight and excited shouts came from every single direction in the room. Someone had even put a laser projector on. Techno music blasted out of the speakers.

They were alive and happy. Far too happy.

Brandon’s eyes twinkled. “Foam party. Awesome!” He grabbed Sebastian’s hand and charged into the bubbles. Darla followed more reluctantly. Before she disappeared into the foam, she turned back to me and gave me the tiniest smile.

For a second, I thought I imagined it. No, it was definitely a smile. Who’d have guessed that Darla’s lips could turn up that way? I hope she didn't strain herself.

I guess I got through to her a little. Go, me.

I inhaled deeply and peered inside the room. A strange figure crouched down by the doorway, a weird soapy gargoyle. Oh, no, that was me, or rather, it was my projection. Leroy obviously had no problem with getting that magic to work. I leaned down and blew out the candle by the chair. The image disappeared.

I stared at the wall of bubbles in front of me. How the hell was I going to get rid of all of them?

I sighed, and slammed the door shut. There. Now I couldn’t see the problem.

“Everything okay?” Marigold’s voice drifted to me from the corridor. Backman walked beside her, holding her hand, looking a little disheveled, with a look of fierce satisfaction on her face. Behind them, Cassandra and Debbie drifted in. Cassandra was walking funny. She had to stop every few feet to rest, otherwise she appeared quite pleased with herself. Debbie was picking tiny bits of something that looked like gristle out of her teeth.

“Me?” I kicked away a clump of foam at my feet. “Yeah, we’re all good here. How did you go?”

Backman lifted her chin. “We caught three shifters and a witch at the eastern boundary, trying to break the shifter ward,” she said.
