Chapter 2


Following the van’s built-in GPS, Hollis navigated effortlessly through the city to pull into an unmarked basement parking garage. I had caught a quick glimpse of the building before we entered, a nondescript affair of dingy cement and blacked out windows. I’d been to Boston many times before, but I had never been here. Following Storrow Drive to River Street, I’d almost grown excited as I realized we were heading towards Cambridge, one of my favorite places in Boston. But instead, we’d turned onto a small street marked Blackstone and entered an aging industrial park. Idly, I wondered who owned the building we were now under. Fae? Starseeds? I decided I didn’t really care. I would find out soon enough.

Hollis got out of the van without a word, opening the back doors and hefting an unconscious Elaine over his shoulder. I shook David awake, my heart wrenching when a look of terror washed over his face.

“It’s okay,” I said, soothing him. “You’re safe now, remember?”

Slowly, his eyes focused on mine and he nodded, exhaustion replacing the fear.

“Come on, we’re here.” I prayed he wouldn’t ask where here was, since I had no answers. I needn’t have worried. He didn’t say a word as he climbed out of the van, except to mumble thanks when he stumbled and Gawen caught him.

None of us looked happy as we followed Hollis towards the elevator in the corner. Despite having found David, we were a team defeated. Jules and Reenah walked at my side, but I couldn’t meet their eyes.

What had I done?

The question rocked through me again, stealing my breath. I closed my eyes, mentally willing myself to keep it together.

Jules reached down to hold my hand and I smiled weakly at a point somewhere over her right shoulder. Tears gathered in my eyes, and I looked away.

“Whatever happened, we’ll make it right,” she said in a low voice.

I bit my lip, not trusting myself to speak. The elevator dinged and we all got on the elevator. I noticed I wasn’t the only one avoiding people’s eyes. Hollis looked like he might explode at any minute, his finger punching the button for the third floor so fiercely I thought the scuffed plastic might crack.

No one said a word.
