Lydia made it out into the street and sucked in a few breaths, happy to be able to walk on her own. She knew Zack would be happy for her. He wouldn’t care what kind of magic it was. She glanced around. Zack wasn’t there. She walked the few blocks back to her car where she found him sitting in the driver’s seat.

“I don’t think so,” she said, gesturing for him to move back to the passenger’s seat. “I’m driving. Look! I’m feeling better.”

“You look better!” Zack said, visibly surprised. “Honestly, I figured you’d be awhile. I was settling in. What happened in there? And why do you look so good? I can barely even see the puncture wounds in your neck.” He hopped out of the car and went around to the passenger’s seat.

“Well,” Lydia said, getting in and shutting the door. “First, Kade made me feel bad about myself, and then he got ready to help me, but then he noticed that I had magic.”

Zack’s eyes got wide. “I thought you didn’t have magic. You were both pretty clear on that point.”

Lydia started the car and pulled out. “I didn’t, but I do now.”

Zack slumped into the seat. “Okay, now I’m confused. Maybe we should grab a bite to eat. You could probably use a bit of a breather before we track down any more magical bad guys, right? And you can explain it all then.”

Lydia nodded. “That is the best idea I’ve heard all day. I’m starving. And it’ll be my treat. To thank you for saving my life. And I can explain it all to you then. Well, the truth is, I don’t understand it all myself, but I’ll do my best.”

“Great. I’m all yours,” he answered. “You can tell me all about your new magic and the jerk mages and the interesting discovery you made just before that soul sucker got you. I’m glad you’re okay.”

Lydia frowned. “I’m okay thanks to you, but I’m afraid I don’t remember what my discovery was. I had a piece of paper, it looked promising, and then I went down. That’s all I remember.”

He turned to her and smirked. “You mean you don’t remember the part where I grabbed the document you dropped right before we got out of there?” He pulled the folded document out of his pocket.

“Nicely done! What did it say?” Lydia asked, pulling into a parking spot.

“I don’t know,” he answered. “I hoped you’d be okay, and that we could look it over together.”

Lydia drove them to a seedy-looking burger joint with bars on the windows and a sign that would have read Mac’s Burger Joint if all the lights were working, which they weren’t. As it was, it said: Mac’s Joint. The configuration of letters in the sign that were visible were different every time she came, and she had no clue if it was intentional or not.

Zack shot her a worried look.

“Don’t worry,” she said, “it’s a good place. And it’s the most discreet place in town.
