Chapter 27

Rushing in through a storage area and a connection to a kitchen, I flung the door open to reveal… another door. I blinked, confused, and reached for the second door handle, which grabbed me! I recoiled, pulling the actual person behind this out from their illusion: a stern-looking woman with slight Asian heritage.

Her hair was black, with a blue portion that hung down along her face. She had some crow’s feet, showing her age, though she kept most of it under wraps fairly well. She wore a form-fitting silk pink dress with golden accents, like the ones I’d seen in films about historical China.

“Are you Miss… Elizabeth Brown?” she hissed.

“Miriam? What are you doing here?” Lorenz asked. Gavin got into the Clawv Maga fighting stance while Lorenz seemed to ponder transforming.

“Speak!” the woman, apparently Miriam, shouted.

“Yes, that’s my name, and where exactly did you get it?!” I said, trying to override her intimidating presence with my own.

“You wrote it down on your notes in your business class.” The implication wasn’t lost on me.

“And how did you find those?” I asked, genuinely curious.

“How else would a witch find anything? Oh, that’s right, you have no idea. And not only did you have no idea who you were messing with when you came here, you also don’t have any idea who you messed with last night, and by God, you’re in for a rude awakening when you figure out who I am!”

She was right up in my face. Her eyes bulged, her nostrils flared, and she exhaled harshly. I took a step back and composed myself.

“So, I’m assuming you’re a witch, well then, where’s the mole in your organization?”

“What are you blather—”

“There’s a mole in your organization. I’m assuming you’re the head of the witches here. Cassy said they are in charge of intelligence, meaning you must be the master spy of this organization, so to speak. So, where’s the mole?” I put more emphasis on that last part.

“I’m looking at her! Every woofer,” there was that word again, “witch, wizard and sorcerer all know what’s at stake. They’d never betray the order. A sub-woofer would love to simply use your insider knowledge to advance herself, wouldn’t you?”

“Interesting conjecture, but I’ve got some witness testimony and some evidence that proves you wrong,” I smiled smugly. I tried to calm down my screaming nerves as they nearly rattled my hand out of my smug pose.

“What? There’s no way someone would testify in your defence.”

“There’s four, maybe five currently,” Gavin barked.

“Isn’t there up to eight?” Lorenz asked.

“Minerva and Cassy are a bad call, and I honestly don’t know how Dan feels about her.”

The woman tried to regain her composure and seemed to adjust a pair of glasses that weren’t there. It might have been just a nervous tic or perhaps she only recently got contacts.

“Well then, guess we’ll have to have a trial and see who’s really innocent. Just keep in mind that assaulting the commanding officer of the unit will not do you any favours.
