“Shit!”

Rushing down the stairs to the level on which the council compound’s portal was located, he called Kim. At the first ring, he sighed with relief. Her cell phone was switched on. By the second ring, his heart began to pound louder. Was he already too late? When had Kim called him? Had she and Grayson already arrived at the storage facility and encountered the demons? Another ring, and he began to perspire.

“Manus?”

It was Logan, who answered Kim’s phone.

Panic charged through his cells. “Where’s Kim? Why do you have her phone? Is she alright?”

“No idea. I just answered it ‘cause it’s charging in the kitchen. Why?”

“Fuck!” There was no way to warn her and Grayson about what they were running into. “Shit, shit, shit!”

“Wha—?”

“Kim and Grayson are in danger. Head to ABC Storage where Nancy Britton had her storage unit. The book’s there. It was always there. The manager has it. But the demons know. They know. And Kim and Grayson are on their way there.” The words were fairly pouring out of him. “They don’t know that the demons are on their way. And Grayson’s phone is off. I can’t warn them.”

“Fuck!”

“Get as many people there as you can. Now. As fast as possible. I’m on my way there.”

“Even if I transport to the portal closest to the storage facility, it’ll still take me at least twenty minutes from there.”

Manus cursed.

“But Aiden and Hamish are out somewhere with Ryder. I’ll call them. Perhaps they’re closer. Go! I’ll take care of everything else.”

Manus was already pressing his hand against the portal’s door and willing it to open.

Please don’t let me be too late.
