CHAPTER 27

LIAM / FARIS

HE WAS ONLY a few hours from D.C., but there was no choice; he had to get away from the sun. He’d done well, managing to travel as far as he had in the time allotted. The suburbs he’d entered would have to do to hunker down for the day. The morning was still early enough that very few people were awake.

Sliding through an unlocked basement window, he dropped to the ground. The interior was dim, but not enough to keep the sunlight out. A door on the far side of the room beckoned and he jogged toward it. The knob turned smoothly in his hand and he stepped through into a fog of pot smoke and the distinct smell of an unwashed male body.

Holding his breath he shut the door behind him and made his way toward the closet on the right. The kid on the bed rolled, let out a fart, and then scratched his ass.

Faris grimaced at the back of his head. Disgusting human. Liam snorted, but kept his words to himself. No need to wake the kid up.

You need to feed.

He shook his head. Not a chance in hell he was taking blood from that kid.

Fair enough, but if you feed, we could jump the Veil.

Liam shut the closet door and slid to his butt. Scrubbing a hand over his face, he considered their options. At this speed, there was no way they’d make it back to North Dakota by the next morning. Even if they managed to hotwire a car, he didn’t think they’d make it.

“How bad will it be? How much of my soul will jumping take?” he asked softly. The black interior of the closet made it easy to feel as if he were talking to someone beside him, instead of inside him.

Faris gave a proverbial shrug. I don’t know. You saw Milly, she looked fairly intact and she had been jumping the Veil for a long time; even though I didn’t know it. Well before anyone of us ever met her. She hid her abilities well.

Liam grimaced. Using Milly for an example didn’t really set his mind at ease. She’d betrayed Rylee on more than one occasion, though she had always tried to make it right. And in the end, she’d done the right thing. But had any of that been tied to jumping the Veil and having her soul used up, or was it all Orion’s influence?

He knew he didn’t have a choice, not if he wanted to be there in time to stand with Rylee against Orion.

“Let’s do this.”

Faris gave a nod of approval as Liam stepped into the kid’s room. There was no choice, he was going to have to drink from the pot-smoking teenager and hope whatever was in his system was already through.

Three quick steps and he knelt beside the bed before he could talk himself out of what he was doing. The kid rolled toward him, muttered something about making a score, and Liam snaked his head toward the bare neck presented.
