Chapter Sixteen

“Huh?” Trey asked. “What are you talking about? What do you mean you can’t find Nana?”

“She called me,” Charlyce explained. “She told me she had to go grab some things and then check on someone else from church. She said she was going to evacuate on one of the soldier buses because the roads were too crowded, and I couldn’t get to her anyway without getting stuck. She told me she would call me once she got on the bus, but she never called.” She sighed. “So I went to go check her house. The traffic was bad, but she wasn’t there. They had those numbers in the window like they were talking about on the news for the people counts, but the numbers showed she was gone when the soldiers came. I tried calling her, but her phone keeps going to voicemail.”

Trey took a deep breath and slowly let it out. His heart pounded. He wasn’t going to yell at his aunt in the middle of a massive counties-wide evacuation, but he needed a few things clarified. An old woman shouldn’t be wandering LA in all the chaos.

Wait one damned second.

Trey’s grandmother’s words floated into his thoughts.

No, I want to die in this house.

“Damn it. I think she’s still in LA,” Trey explained. “I can’t believe this. Of all the times to pull some stubborn stunt!”

“I don’t understand. What should I do?”

“Where are you right now?” Trey asked. “And can you drive?”

Charlyce sighed. “The roads are still pretty jammed up.”

“Then go find the National Guard or go to one of the portals,” Trey suggested. “Get out of there as soon as possible.”

There was no way in hell he would risk losing two relatives.

“I can’t just leave her,” Charlyce complained. “What if something happens? What if the thing blows up?”

Trey sighed. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle finding her. Remember who my girlfriend is. She’s got a way of finding things and people. It ain’t like Nana knows counter-magic shit, even if she’s hiding out.”

“I’m sorry, Trey. I should have gone straight to pick her up like you told me.”

“It ain’t your fault. She tricked you.” Trey stood and frowned. “I told you how she was complaining about not wanting to move, but I ain’t letting her get hurt, even if I have to drag her back. You just get out of LA and leave everything else to me. I’m a bounty hunter. I can find one old woman.”
