Chapter Seventeen

“Brought you back a souvenir.” I tossed the sword on the conference table with a flourish. To their credit, nobody flinched. Maybe they were used to agents throwing weapons or body parts on the table after a fight. I could definitely see Evadne coming back with a spare hand.

“And where did you find this?” Doran asked.

“Pressed against my abdomen,” I said. “Can’t say I enjoyed it.”

Abra used her magic to pull the sword toward her until she could reach it. “Dasim had this?”

“No, this was in Virginia, before we left for Egypt,” Evadne said. “We had a busy twenty-four hours.”

Abra held up the blade to examine it. “And what happened to the owner of this sword?”

“He got away, but let’s not focus on the negative,” Evadne said. “We got the big fish.”

Liam frowned. “Fishes?”

“The owner of that sword is called Naois,” I said. “He seemed to be some kind of fae warrior.”

Evadne held up a finger. “And he thinks we’re vile and disgusting creatures.”

“Can’t argue with that,” Liam said.

Doran craned his neck for a better view of the sword. “Is that the Celtic Tree of Life?”

“Yes, with a circle around it.” Abra’s brow wrinkled. “I don’t like this.”

“You don’t have to keep it,” Liam said. “We can add it to the armory.”

The older witch looked at me. “How did he get away?”

“Portal. Must’ve had friends waiting for him on the other side.”

“We’ll send the sword to the lab for analysis,” Emil said.

“And you’ll let us know when you find out who they are?” I asked. “If there are a bunch of fae warriors out there that want to kill us, we should probably know.”

“Yes, of course,” Abra said.

“Where’s Purvis?” I asked. He was the only elder missing from the round table.

“He’s gone to visit family,” Emil said. “He’ll be back in a couple of days.”

“We’re very proud of what you accomplished in Egypt,” Doran said.

Liam straightened in his chair. “We’re pretty proud too.”

“Wasn’t the same without you, Tater Tot,” Evadne said and blew her a kiss. “It was better.”

Tate rolled her eyes. I was pleased to see that the young witch looked almost back to normal thanks to Emil’s intensive healing.

The conference room door opened and Jonas poked his head inside. “Your appointment is here.”

Lothar Friedan strode into the room and balked at the sight of us gathered around the table. “I beg your pardon. I didn’t realize I was interrupting a meeting in progress.”

Doran crossed the room to shake his hand. “We appreciate you coming all the way here, Lothar.”

Lothar surveyed the room. “Where’s Lloyd?”

“Lloyd won’t be joining us for this meeting,” Doran said.

“I admit, I’m not sure why you simply couldn’t deliver the amulet to me, but I’ve made the most of the trip. I even won a few games of baccarat at the casino.” He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. “Now, where is my beautiful amulet?”

“About that…” Natasha strode into the room in a pair of thigh-high boots and a shortie romper. The vampire somehow managed to look both menacing and fashionable.
