Chapter 15

“Do we have any intel on who might be doing this?”

Nikolas’s voice drew my attention away from my laptop where I was chatting with David and Kelvan. Almost two months had passed since I’d gotten sick and we’d lost Madeline’s trail. Now I was determined to pick it up again with the help of my two talented hacker friends, and for the last three days we’d been working together to try to figure out where Madeline was. The difference this time was that I was sharing anything we learned with Nikolas. The Mohiri had wanted to work directly with my friends, but David and Kelvan didn’t trust anyone but me. Nikolas wasn’t happy about the arrangement until I reminded him that David, Kelvan, and I had gotten closer to finding Madeline than the Mohiri ever had.

Nikolas walked into the command center with Chris and another warrior named Raoul whom I’d seen here a lot. Nikolas’s eyes scanned the room until they met mine, and we exchanged smiles. I liked being able to spend my evenings here working alongside him, and the looks he gave me told me he felt the same way.

Raoul shook his head. “Whoever they are, they are deadly and fast. I hate to admit it, but their kill rate is better than ours right now with zero human casualties. They move around a lot too, which makes it impossible to get a lead on them. We have reports coming in from all over the country.”

Instead of sitting at one of the tables, the three of them walked toward me. Chris and Raoul each took a chair and Nikolas sat on the couch with me. I pulled my legs up to make room for him, and he rested a warm hand on my foot. He was so caught up in his conversation I didn’t think he was even aware he’d done it. When his thumb began to absently stroke my bare ankle, a tingle spread up my leg and I found it hard to concentrate on my computer or their conversation.

“Are you sure it’s the same people?” Chris asked.

“No, but my gut tells me it is. All the strikes have the same feel to them, and the hostiles were killed by some kind of weapon we haven’t seen before. The warehouse in Minneapolis, the vampire in Seattle, the nest at the old amusement park in New Jersey.”

My head jerked up at the mention of New Jersey. Two days ago, I’d wiped out a nest of seven vampires and rescued a family of four from an abandoned amusement park in that state. It had been my most difficult kill yet, and at one point I’d thought I was done for. I was glad I saved that family, but I’d been in over my head on that one. It was only my vampire radar that had kept me alive, and I’d sworn to Eldeorin that if he ever pulled another stunt like that I was never speaking to him again.
