CHAPTER THREE

Building the Perfect Mouse Trap

The primary function of a mundane spectrometer is to split light into a spectrum to measure the components. In theory, an occult spectrometer worked on many of the same principles except the measurements it produced were not of light, but rather of the wavelengths that were occulted, or hidden. It took that information, digitized it, and spit it out on the device’s display. It followed that we would be able to take measurements around the campus to track the wraith’s movements.

I remembered using it in Magical Theory in my sophomore year. Retrieving the device from that classroom was unlikely to be too big a challenge at the moment since most of the familiars roaming the halls had been cleared—the classroom was directly northwest of the north exit of the library.

Gypcie and I decided to stop off at the Faculty Lounge first to check out what the Council of Venice had done to the place. As soon as we entered the room, the smell of freshly brewed coffee hit our noses. My heart sang at the thought of a hot cup. Two soldiers in crisp white uniforms with the blue berets—apparently they brought along some clean ones—were positioned to the right and left of the inside door, their assault rifles at the ready. They waved us past, and we made our way to the back room.

After weeks of living in dirty clothes eating sucky food, this looked like paradise indeed. The coffeemaker and a large box of pastries were set up on a low side table. Gypcie located a power outlet and immediately plugged her phone in to charge it. At the southern end of the room, couches had been pushed aside, and a screened area had been set up. That hinted at washroom facilities. The blue-gloved commander, whom we had seen on the walkie-talkie on the front step an hour or so ago, was staring out the east side windows at the gate when we approached.

He turned and greeted us, introducing himself as Lt. John Smith. Gypcie and I shared a skeptical look at his name but returned his greeting happily nonetheless.

“We’ve set up a temporary base here,” he said, “to support Montag and Usher in the Academy’s magical containment efforts on Solomon Island. I don’t know how much news you girls have gotten since the end of October, but things are SNAFUed out there. Your teachers have been helping keep a lid on the bigger problems on the island, so command dispatched the five of us here to help out.”

“We are definitely glad you’re here!” Gypcie gushed. I nodded in agreement.

He looked at me directly. “That was quite a performance earlier.”

“Thank you for protecting me when I fell,” I said with chagrin. “My plan didn’t go off quite as well as I’d hoped.”

He grinned and saluted. “All in the line of duty, Miss.”

We inquired about the details of the washroom facilities and Lt. Smith encouraged us to make use of them. Unfortunately, as I
