Chapter 18

Seven flashes of light pierced the forest surrounding the Tolbert complex. The warriors dressed in black, their long coats concealing an array of weapons. Xander checked his watch and nodded to Kagan then lifted the amulet from his pocket and slipped it over his head. The talisman glowed brighter in response to the approaching alignment.

Kagan headed across the snow toward the entrance. His black sunglasses hid his growing anxiety from the group. Buono. Mira was his number one priority.

He approached the glass entry doors. Five armed guards stood poised around a terminal inside. He pulled on the door. Unlocked. Confirmation Tolbert expected the Scion this night. Kagan stepped into the marble lobby and focused on the security station.

Five pairs of mirrored sunglasses stared back at him, the expressions beneath impassive, inhuman. He moved forward and a sixth officer blocked his path, metal detector in hand. Divinity was right, as always. These creatures were like robots, functioning off a hive-mind intellect that brooked nothing but conformity. Kagan smiled, an icy chill coursing through his veins and numbing his heart.

The security guard ran the metal detector wand around the outline of his silhouette. A warning sounded within milliseconds. At the officer’s gesture, Kagan opened his coat to reveal a body packed to the gills with artillery. The guard reached for his own weapon. He didn’t get it out of the holster. Kagan put a bullet between his eyes. One less mind in the hive.

He stepped over the fresh corpse, a second gun in hand to blast simultaneously. Bullets sprayed the lobby. The tang of gunpowder and warm blood choked the air. He moved deeper before signaling for the waiting Scion to join him. The guards began dropping like stones. Kagan ducked behind a pillar and tossed away his spent weapons. Through the cacophony, one guard radioed for backup. Merda! Kagan leaned around the corner to fire. He never got the chance. The man’s chest erupted in crimson, riddled from behind with Xander’s bullets.

Fresh weapons in hand, courtesy of the deceased guard, Kagan joined the rest of the Scion. They lined up across the lobby, a wall of impenetrable force, armed to the canines and pissed beyond reason. Soon, a flood of Nephilim reinforcements streamed into the room from the elevators and stairwells. One man stepped forward, semiautomatic at the ready. “Surrender, Scion, and we may let you live. Our fight is not with you.”

Kagan surveyed the gathered assembly with a quirked brow. His smile never wavered as he pulled out two Uzis. “Want to bet?”

The staccato ping of distant gunfire echoed off the cavern walls.

Argus gritted his teeth and tried again to loosen the chains around his hands and feet. The wound on his chest remained open, his regeneration powers gone. Those fucking half-breeds had poisoned him. Reduced him to nothing more than the humans he despised.

Footsteps approached. Argus squinted up into the Director’s condescending smirk. “Thought you might like to see what your death has wrought, demon.”

He pulled open the collar of the cassock he wore.
