Slade

I stalked along the roof as the sun broke over the horizon. This was as close as I dared to get to the school and I was lucky I managed to find this warehouse.

Trees had broken through the unused parking lot, and most of the windows were shattered and gone, but it had a roof with a perfect sightline to where Everest now resided. That was all I really needed.

Throughout the night, I’d woken to hear Morg pacing around restlessly, back at the apartment. He never spoke a word, but he never had to. I knew what he dreamt about because I did the exact same thing.

Sometime around three, I gave up on sleep and scoped out a better place to set up camp while here in the city.

I sat on the roof until the sun came up and then checked my cell, waiting to hear any news from Tank. When another hour passed, I paced around the entire length of the warehouse, stomach growling from needing food. I was about to head back downstairs and hop on the bike to go out and grab a few supplies to store here when my cell finally went off.

“Tank? Is it him?” I asked quickly.

“Yeah, it’s him, and Preston’s already done the once over on him, but he’s not saying much.”

“They usually don’t.”

A yell echoed through the phone followed by a stream of curses.

I heard Jenny shouting in the background, but it faded away as Tank probably left whatever room they’d thrown the man into.

“We do know what he is at least, and it’s not the one you’re going to want to hear.”

I gripped the metal edge of the roof and glared at the school. If they were sending their higher-up assassins, they were getting desperate to carry out the plan we knew so little about. “No name? No location for a hideout?”

“Nothing, especially about the target.”

“You think there’s more coming after her?”

“Jenny’s pretty convinced she’s not going to be safe, not even at that school. I’ll be coming back in a few days, but she’s sending Davis, until then. He should be there by this evening.”

I grunted. “Why is the techie going to be here? I can’t waste time watching out for his ass, on top of ensuring no one gets to Everest, again.”

“If they’re coming after her, you’ll need him to watch the camera feeds in the city,” Tank argued in the tone of voice that said I’d do better if I said nothing against the plan. “You just keep your head down, and your eyes open. The last thing we need is you getting caught so close to that place.”

“Not like I have a choice,” I grumbled. “You can thank her uncle for that one.”

“I know, but this is what we have to deal with, so deal with it.”

I ground my teeth and said nothing.

“Fine, be a sourpuss. I’ll be back in a few days,” Tank told me. “Do not get yourself into any trouble until I get back.”

I rattled off the address of the warehouse I set up in, and shoved my cell back in my pocket.
