As ht to die as I was destined, it see that he’d also suffer the loss of his own drea a Mijai had been a punish he’d wanted to spend eternity doing

So when he’d put the ed reat to him as it had been for me?

God, I hope not I closed my eyes for a ht, I not only started acting like a rational adult, but thinking like one

And that irl knickers to not only confront the man I’d banished, but sit down to discuss where the hell ent relationship-wise

Or even if we had a relationship

But I couldn’t do that here It would have to wait until later, after I’d gotten hoer-combed my hair, then went in search of Jak I found him in the study

"Did you find out where those coordinates were?" I asked

His gaze skimmed my body as he swiveled around in his chair "Always did like you in that dress The lilacin theThey sold it off thirty years ago for development"

I frowned "That’s nowhere near the other warehouse"

"No, but it is on a ley line"

My eyebrows rose "Since when did you becoed ht benefit the story if I actually knehat I riting about" His expression was so I’m actually allowed to write about it once it’s all over"

"Uncle Rhoan said you could"

"Yeah, but I’oes to print"

Undoubtedly "Being on a ley line could suggest it’s hiding another transport gate"

The first one certainly had – itnessed a Razan using it, right before hellhounds had attacked us What it wasn’t was the gate they were using to get onto the gray fields But that had to be somewhere near the first warehouse, because that here the intersection was I guess it wasn’t all that surprising ere having trouble finding it, though – it wasn’t like they’d want anyone accidentally stu "There’s only one e’re going to find out what’s out there"

"As long as it doesn’t take all day I have to be back hoave me a couple of free hours before I had to contact Hunter "And you ave you, just in case"

"It’s stashed in the car" He hesitated "I haven’t heard any whispers about weird things happening out that way No reports of dogs with red eyes, like the first one"

He touchedme out of the house and into his car

"That doesn’t mean they’re not there," I said, once he’d climbed into the driver’s seat

"I know It would be nice, however, if just once we could enter a building without getting attacked"

"Amen to that," I ht a decent break Maybe even a decent clue or two

Mirri’s life ht just depend on it

It took us just over half an hour to scoot across to Maribyrnong The old defense site was easy enough to find, although much of it was noarehouses in various states of ill repair Jak wound his way through the estate until we’d reached the coordinates, and parked up the road fros There were no cars other than Jak’s in this immediate area, and all the warehouses seemed empty of movement or life

"It’s the unmarked one in thewheel and studied the building through the windshield "It looks harmless"

"So did the first one"

"True that"

I opened the door and climbed out of the car The air swirled around me, rich with the scent of huh These warehouses were definitely as empty as they looked
