Chapter Fourteen

“Why would Danielle lie to us?” Kane asked, looking a bit hurt, when I told them who lived there.

I gave him a pointed look. “Apart from the obvious?” But he wasn’t amused, so I shrugged. “Maybe Blackhart lied to her. I wouldn’t wonder it. Or he lives with Jack.”

“I seriously doubt that,” Ashley noted, and I was inclined to agree. “So which flat belongs to the little shit?”

“The upmost,” I told her, and she nodded.

“I’ll round the house to check it from the back.”

She headed to the park with a steady lope, and the rest of us retreated away from the door so that we wouldn’t be instantly spotted if Jack happened to exit the building.

“What now?” Giselle asked. “Shall we stay here and keep an eye on the place?”

“Is Jack home?” I asked Kane, who shook his head.

“The spell isn’t reacting to him at all. It has a fairly wide range too, so I’d say he’s not anywhere near.”

“In that case, this would be the best time to sneak into his flat to look for the spell book,” I suggested, but like before, he rejected it instantly.

“Absolutely not! And what if Blackhart is there?”

It was a worrying possibility, but I couldn’t let that stop me. I needed the book. “There’s four of us. What could he do?”

“Plenty,” Kane said, but Giselle gave me a pensive nod.

“This is the only chance we have. What if we don’t find Rupert in time.”

Two against one, Kane gave up. “Fine, but I want Ashley with us.”

I dug out my mobile and called her, and she soon returned. “We’re breaking into Jack’s flat,” I told her, and she was instantly excited.

“Excellent. I can keep watch.”

Now that we were doing this, I was getting nervous. I’d never done anything criminal before, and I was sure this was the first time for my companions too. Experience was needed in these kinds of undertakings, and we were sadly lacking.

Kane studied the entrance door carefully, running his hand above it as if feeling the air, and found three different wards on it. “I can’t take all these down, or they’ll know instantly that we’re here.”

“We’ll look for another way in, then,” Giselle declared, heading down the steps to round the house.

We found a small annex at the end of the house that led below grounds. Since the basement flat had its own entrance towards the street, we concluded that this one was for the rest of the house to use. And it only had one simple ward on it that Kane quickly took down.

Another feat of magic opened the lock, and we were in.

It was a small storage space for bicycles and garden tools, and there was no alarm—which we came to think of only belatedly. Concrete steps led up into the house, and the door at the top opened to the entrance hall. It was a small, later addition when the one-family house had been converted into flats.

A narrow staircase led up on one side, and
