CHAPTER 15

Jessie

Jessie blew out a breath of relief. “I think we made it before they did.” She pulled at the sleeves of her shirt as she watched Erik put the car in park.

“Yeah, I don’t hear her anywhere. Come on, let’s get a spot inside before they arrive.” Erik hopped out of the car quickly. Jessie was right on his tail. “I’m going to check-in with Sloane.” He hurried up to the passenger window.

“Hey, we’re going to split up. Mike will be in the car parked by the highway. We’re going to stay here to let you know when they’re here.” She held her hand out and Erik deposited his keys in her hand.

“Don’t go far, we may need to make a quick getaway if they see us before we can dispossess him.” Erik tapped his hand on the side of the car before turning to Jessie. “Ready?”

“Yeah, I have to be.” She turned toward the building and strode inside. They were lucky. A couple had just gotten up from the back table. Jessie would be able to hide behind the tall booth while Erik listened for their entrance. He would signal her the minute they were inside, so she could freeze the place. She wanted to wait and hope that they could separate the demon from her mother. They didn’t want to chance it. The bomb they were carrying was too important to the survival of the Shikari. They had to make sure there was no way that device was getting to the archives. They could destroy every bit of history along with every Shikari’s power.

“Well, hey there little darlins’” A stout woman with a warm smile sauntered up to their booth. She wore a black polo with Roscoe’s emblem in Maroon just below her shoulders. “What can I start you off with? We have the best sweet tea this side of the Mississippi.”

“Well, in that case, I’ll take the tea.” Erik flashed her his charming smile.

“I’ll take a sprite.” Jessie grabbed up a menu, scanning for something that wouldn’t worsen her nausea. She noticed Erik’s eyes kept darting to the door, and Jessie could tell he was keeping his attention on the thoughts of those around them.

“All right, I’ll be right back with those.” She shifted her hips as she made her way behind the counter. Jessie wanted to sneak a peek behind her, but knew she shouldn’t be looking around. Erik would let her know when they were there.

“Anything yet?” Jessie asked. She was nervous and didn’t feel comfortable not having eyes on the door. She pulled at the sleeves of her shirt. Her stomach rolled, and she rested her mouth against her fist.

“No, and I really wish I could stop listening to the thoughts outside. I keep picking up Sloane’s thoughts, and I think I’m going to need therapy after we’re done.” He shook his head.

Jessie let out a laugh against her fist. “Oh yeah, not enjoying your sister’s complicated thoughts?”

“I could do without the replay of what we heard happening outside before we left.
