CHAPTER 7

We found Cronus in his seat in the car. Ian and I took our positions, and Ian handed his partner the tablet.

"What do you think?" Ian asked him.

Cronus studied the screen for a moment and he frowned. "It appears to be a trap."

"That's what I thought, too," Ian agreed as he took back the tablet. "Think we should disappoint them?"

"That would be rude," Cronus commented in his dead-pan voice.

"Then I guess we shouldn't keep them waiting any longer," Ian replied as he started the car.

I leaned between the seats and glanced between the enigmatic men. "Mind filling me in on your paranoia?" I requested.

"Our foes are sharp enough to kidnap a lot of women without alerting the police to their scheme," Ian pointed out. He placed the tablet on the dash and tapped the screen. "And yet here we have an easy track on one of the missing girls."

"Maybe they cut it off there," I suggested.

"Or perhaps it's an invitation," he argued.

"For the police?" I wondered.

He shook his head. "No, for us."

I felt the color drain from my face. "You mean they knew ahead of time we'd be on the case?"

Ian nodded. "Yep. They kidnapped a woman with an ankle bracelet and left a witness to give us the details."

"So they want to kill us?" I guessed.

Ian looked into the rear view mirror at me. "No, they want something else."

I didn't like the look in his eyes. It made me feel hunted, like-

My eyes widened and my pulse quickened. I pointed a shaking finger at my chest.

"They. . .they want me?" I stuttered.

"They wouldn't mind getting their pale hands on my throat, but this is their first slip-up in their kidnapping scheme, and I bet you weren't their first target," Ian commented. "That means they want Cronus and me to find them, and the only difference in the equation is you're with us."

I fell back against the seat and shuddered. "So what do we do?"

"We could hand you over," he suggested.

I shot a glare at him. "Hand over yourself!" I snapped.

He chuckled. "It was just a joke."

I sank down the seat and crossed my arms over my chest. "Ha-ha, very funny. . ." I grumbled.

"Do you have a plan?" Cronus spoke up.

Ian grinned. "Nope."

I slapped my palm over my chest. "We're doomed. . ." I murmured.

"Not doomed, just a little unprepared. I thought we could find out more about your Whisperer before we confronted their group, but it looks like they're a pretty impatient bunch," Ian commented.

"Might I suggest a direct route," Cronus mused.

Ian and I looked at him as if he were crazy, which might not have been far from the truth.

"Are you nuts? These aren't the usual dumb Phantoms from the cheap bin of hell. These creatures are smart. They nearly outsmarted both of us," Ian reminded him.

"It was merely an oversight on my part," Cronus argued.

Ian frowned. "And mine?"

"A novice move," Cronus commented.

"So in this frontal assault, who dies first? You or me?" Ian wondered.

"Neither. We use the girl as a shield.
