Chapter Ten

At two p.m., Herne texted me to ask me where I was. I texted back that I was outside, sitting on the stoop of the building, getting some fresh air. He answered that he’d be down in just a moment, so I gathered my things. Sure enough, less than a couple minutes later, he came clattering down the stairs, looking rough, tough, and ready to rumble.

Herne was handsome, I’d give him that. He had long wheat-colored hair and cornflower blue eyes. He had a scruff of a beard, more of a five-o’clock shadow, actually. He was wearing black jeans and a cobalt blue tank top, over which he had tossed a black leather jacket. It looked light, made for summer rather than for the cooler months. And he was wearing a pair of motorcycle boots, his jeans tucked into them.

“Do you have anything else you need to take with you?” He looked around.

I shook my head. “Just my purse. Is it okay to leave my car in the parking garage? We won’t get back too late for me to get it out, will we?”

“I think it should be fine. And if worse comes to worse, I can drive you home and then pick you up in the morning and bring you over to get your car.” He jogged across the street, and I followed at a slower pace. We walked the half block to the parking garage, where he unlocked the passenger door to his Ford Expedition and held it open as I scrambled inside. As I fastened my seatbelt, he swung into the driver’s seat and fitted the key in the ignition.

“How did the meeting with Ember and Viktor go?”

I shrugged. “We’re heading up to the veterans home tomorrow. Listen, Herne, will you please tell me what you have against Trinity? I like to think that I give people a fair chance, and so far Trinity’s been nothing but considerate to me. But you warned me about him, and Vixen’s warned me about him. If you guys want me to avoid him, you’re going to have to give me a good reason, other than you don’t trust him. After all, you’re the one who brought him into my life.”

Herne let out a sigh. “I knew you were going to ask that. I’ve struggled with this all night. I’d tell you willingly, except it’s Trinity’s secret and I feel like I’m invading his privacy. But in the interest of friendship, I’ll tell you why I have misgivings, and yet can say that I like the man.” He flipped the turn signal and moved into the left lane. “We’re headed to the portal near my home, by the way. It’s in the park behind my house, just a few yards over the property line. I’ve contacted Orla, who’s preparing it to transport us to Cernunnos’s Palace.”

I nodded, waiting for his story.

“All right, about Trinity. First, I do like Trinity, and he’s helped me out a number of times. And he’s never once asked for a reward, or payment.
