Alex had brought her through the main entrance, which she saw as a positive sign, until he ducked into a stairwell and began climbing.
She walked up two steps and stopped. âWhere are we going?â
He paused then turned to face her. âEmma, I promise this isnât some kind of trick or trap. If you will keep climbing these stairs,ââhe pointed upââI have a very special surprise for you.â
âButââ
He held up his hand. âYou will thank me for this. You have no idea how much Iâm counting on that fact. But before you discover what Iâve given you, and before I teach you how to hide your power, you have to promise me something.â
She tilted her head with narrowed eyes. âWhat?â
âOne week from tomorrow, Iâll be in Albuquerque giving a speech at the Fairmont Hotel for a political luncheon. Your name will be on the guest list. You must promise to meet me there at noon as my guest. Itâs a public place. Youâll be safe.â He shrugged with a smirk. âAnd Iâll be safe. Itâs a neutral location. Agree?â
âHow am I supposed to get to Albuquerque?â
âYouâre a bright girl. Iâm sure youâll figure it out.â
âAnd what if I donât like your present?â
His eyebrow twitched. âThen leave it behind. But youâll already know how to hide from Raphael and thatâs what you really wanted. My gift is a bonus.â
Alex was right. Hiding from Raphael really was her primary objective here. âOkay.â
He grinned, then hurried up the staircase. âCome on. We donât have much time.â
She raced after him, breathless when he stopped at the door on the third floor.
His hand on the doorknob, he looked down at her. âFind your energy and imagine covering it with a blanket.â
Her eyebrows rose. âJust do it. Iâm not letting you out of the stairwell until you prove to me that you can do it.â
âFine.â Her anger was easy to access, given her irritation. Finding her energy, she imagined shrouding it and instantly felt a change.
Alex twisted his mouth into mock respect. âCongratulations.â A scowl of disapproval replaced it. âBut you should have figured this out on your own.â
âWhat?â
âItâs an easy enough task and itâs logical. No oneâs giving you information this week, so youâre going to have to use your brain. Let your imagination figure out what youâre capable of. If you wonder if something is possible, try it. Also, start working on using external sources of energy. You donât have a shot in hell of winning if you donât, and you only have five weeks to figure it out.â
âAnything else?â Sarcasm dripped from her words.
âYeah.â He pulled a wad of bills out of his pocket and handed it to her. âItâs not as much as it looks, but if it runs out, youâre capable of getting more on your own. Figure it out.â
She stuffed the money into her pocket, grateful she didnât have to ask for it, but still pissed at his attitude.
Alex looked through the small window and set her bag down in the corner.
