Chapter 10

This time it was Annika who was demanding Jadice for more.

“Are our parents really inside the church?” She was pressing her hands against the plastic table so hard it looked like it might crack in half. Even Jadice was taken aback.

“Hey calm down there, Split Ends. Yeah, of course that’s where they are. What do you think is inside that huge church anyway? Ant farms? It’s a giant jail for people who used Iltech.”

“That means my mom is in there,” Annika said. “We need to go there right now.” She stood and made her way for the door. Jadice laughed.

“Yeah, you go ahead little girl. I’m sure all the Holy Police in Salem will put up no resistance to you just barging inside.”

“I know some secrets about the church,” Annika snapped. “I know how we can get in.”

Jadice rolled her eyes. “Yeah, sure. You know all these secrets, and yet you didn’t know the biggest and most important one.”

“Caden can get us in,” Annika said, looking to Caden for support. “You saw what he can do. He has an angel weapon or whatever too.”

“Sure, except Blondie over here doesn’t even know how to control it yet. Do you?”

Jadice and Annika both turned toward Caden. Jadice had a knowing, mocking look, and Annika had hopeful eyes. Caden knew who he was going to let down.

“We need more information before we can go, Annika,” Caden said. “I still have so many questions, and we don’t even know what my power is yet.”

Annika deflated in disappointment and looked away. Caden knew how she felt. He wanted nothing more than to bust into the church and find his dad right away too. But doing that right now, with Jadice weak and him not even knowing how to use his angel weapon, was just asking for failure. They had to prepare themselves somehow.

“Although,” Jadice said, “I do have an idea. Blondie, I think I know where we can get your questions answered and get you some training with your angel weapon at the same time.”

Hope fluttered in Caden’s heart. “Where?”

“There’s someone in Salem who knows a lot more than I do. His name’s Watson. I think we should go pay him a visit.”

“But you just said Salem is guarded by Holy Police,” Annika said bitterly. “I thought there was no way to get in?”

Jadice raised her eyebrows and her eyes twinkled. “That’s because we’re not going into Salem. We’re going under it—to the Iltech black market.”
