Frowning, Blayne asked, “What?” Then I heard the snapping twigs. Spinning around, I dropped the man and looked toward the surrounding forest. From behind a massive oak tree, Emily strolled out. She smiled without humor and raised an eyebrow at me. Blayne stiffened beside me. She wasn’t the same as the last time I’d been…

Emily lifted her head as though it weighed a hundred pounds. Her eyes were half-lidded. She opened her mouth to speak, but she never got the words out. Her groggy eyes snapped open in surprise. Instead of speaking, I heard her scream, then I heard the passenger window behind me shatter. Before I could turn,…

He raised his eyebrows. “She put that swab halfway down my throat. Not very pleasant, but I’ve experienced worse.” We stepped into the elevator.

Harley put a hand to her mouth. “Oh my god. This can’t be happening.” Blayne stood and pulled two pieces of paper from the printer, then handed them to Harley.

Potatoes are already in the oven, so I can’t really turn back now.” “Oh yeah. Who doesn’t like grilled meat?” Mariah said,…
