2021-07-10 16:02:37Jo was afraid to ask exactly what it was Elliott was talking about when he’d said he had found the thermal exhaust port of the building where Jamie and the other LIGHTS prisoners were being held. Her eyes went to Cassidy first, who’d asked Elliott what he’d meant when he exclaimed, “Aha!” but her aunt was focused on Elliott, so Jo was unable to get a sense of whether or not everyone else was holding their breath thinking he’d probably come up with something that simply wouldn’t work or if they were hopeful that he had actually solved the problem.
“What is it, Dad?” Brandon asked. “What do you mean?”
“I mean… look at the west side of the building. Do you see anything remotely familiar about the shape of that part of this allegedly new building?”

For the rest of the flight, Jo studied the blueprints and maps of the area, both recent ones acquired by Margie’s team and old ones that told her what the capital city had looked like before the Vampires had taken over. There had been a lot of changes in recent years, most of them in the name of security. The Vampires loved to tell everyone that they were endangered, that there was a group of people out there who wanted to attack and kill all of them. It was one of the ways they’d managed to get LIGHTS banned and make it illegal to destroy a Vampire, even if one was trying to turn or kill you. It was absurd; an idea that inclusionists took way too far. While Jo wholeheartedly agreed that humans should accept one another for their differences, she drew the line at accepting a species that was created for the sole purpose of destroying humanity.People just never learned.

The vast ocean in front of them slowly began to transition. Jo could see land in the distance. It seemed so strange and out of place, but there it was, her motherland, the United States.Ryker kept their altitude high and steady even after they began to fly over dry land. Jo wondered when he’d start his descent since Virginia was on the coast. She had no idea where Richmond was, though. It could be on the far western side of the state for all she knew.“The higher we stay, the better for now,” Ryker explained. “I don’t know what kind of antiaircraft weapons those bastards have, but I also don’t want to find out.”Jo wasn’t sure what to say to that. She trusted her Aunt Cassidy with the shield she was throwing, but she doubted it would protect them from a huge weapon if

Ryker was lying on the ground, his head bleeding, his eyes closed. Jo was doing her best to help Scott as he tried to fix whatever was wrong with the human. He had his medical bag open and was doing what he could, but the expression on his face told Jo he wasn’t having a lot of luck.“Are you guys all right?”Jo looked up to see several people running toward them. At first, she was afraid they were just human civilians who’d seen the plane crash and were coming to see if they could help, but then she recognized Scott’s aunt, and a wave of relief washed over. She had no idea that Margie was actually planning to meet them at the airport. She assumed she’d be too busy with the other duties she needed to attend to as the leader of this raid.Jo stood and stepped over to her. “Th

The transport vehicle headed out of the airport, picking up speed as they reached the street. The road itself wasn’t in that great of shape, but it was better than anything they’d encountered in Russia and certainly smoother than driving across the field next to the airport.“How far are we from DC?” Cale shouted as they clambored along.“Not far,” Margie said. “Did you guys figure out a way to get in?”“Hell yeah we did!” Elliott shouted. “Tunnels.”“Tunnels?” Margie repeated, shaking her head.“There are tunnels underneath the old Capitol Building. Elliott thinks we can use them to sneak into the building.”

The Senate Office Building was a mess on the outside. Large chunks of mortar had fallen from between the bricks. That and litter from who knows where trashed the yard. Papers were strewn all over the place, as if the filing cabinets inside of the building had been left open with all the windows wide during a storm. The papers were wet and stuck to the ground and trees. It was an awful sight, but it also let Jo know that no one came around here much. No one of consequence anyway. If the Vampires were aware of this building having tunnels, surely they’d do a better job of keeping them guarded.One swift kick of a boot from Brandon, and the main door fell in, taking a chunk of rotten wood from the door jamb with it. “That was easy,” the Guardian mumbled.“It’s too bad getting into the other building isn’t that easy,” Scott

The timer in Jo’s head was ticking. Margie said she was on in five minutes with the president, and she’d asked for five minutes after that, so that meant ten more excruciatingly long minutes until Jo could start her attack.She let the rest of the team know and saw the irritation on their faces as well. Everyone was ready to get on with this.“I just had a thought,” Cassidy said a few minutes into their wait. “We didn’t think I’d be able to reach Jamie or anyone else through my telepathy because the Vampires would be guarding against it, but now that our IACs are open, maybe we can get them that way.”“Their IACs will have their coordinates,” Jo said. “We can find them that way.”“Won’t t

When the ten minutes were over, Jo checked in with Margie one more time. “We’re going in, unless you say otherwise,” Jo told her.“Go for it,” Margie said. “I’ve got Crimson Crotch’s attention.”Jo took a deep breath and then told Cassidy, “All right. You’re up.”Cassidy rolled her eyes. “I’m always up. I’ve been up this whole time. Who do you think is throwing the shield?”Not wanting to argue, Jo said, “All right. Well, you’re up again. Can you get us through this wall?”“Of course I can,” her aunt said.Through the IAC, Jo told Elliott and Heather. &ldqu

As Jo approached the door at the end of the hallway, she noticed on the IAC that there was a lot of activity going on with the other team. The noise that Heather had made bringing the concrete wall down had alerted the Vampires that something was going on, and now, Elliott and the others were in the middle of a shoot out. Jo wanted to go help them, but she realized that this might actually be a good thing for her own mission. If the Vampires were busy with Elliott’s squad, hers might be able to sneak in and find the prisoners. “Well, my negotiations are over,” Margie said in her head. “Crimson Crotch was alerted that there was a breach, and now he’s off.” “Copy,” Jo said. “That’s the other squad, though. Not us. We’re still undetected. For now.” She opened the

How Christian went about opening the portal, Jo wasn’t sure. It was like he cast a magic spell of some sort, though, when Scott asked him how he had done it, all Christian said was, “Science.” The next thing she knew, there was a wavering light in the wall of the black tunnel. An orange boundary grew brighter around the edges, and then inside of that, there was a moving orange light that seemed like a flickering fire in the distance. It was slightly different than the portal they’d come through, but it was close enough, and she was in a hurry to get her mother home where she belonged.Christian went through first, followed by Cadence, Cassidy, and Scott. Ryker followed him, and Zane insisted that Jo go ahead of her. But she grabbed hold of his hand to make sure that he didn’t get left behind. If he couldn’t come through the opening for some reason, she was staying, too,

“Do you want to hold your mom’s hand?” Jamie asked Mallory as she lay on the operating table in his office. Cadon couldn’t believe how quickly everything was beginning to look like it used to. Even with the American government under collapse and citizens taking it upon themselves to hunt down Vampires and dispatch them, despite the laws that were still on the records, furniture, and other supplies were not that hard to find if one knew where to look–apparently.“Yeah, I’d like to hold her hand,” Mallory replied. She was so nervous, Cadon could see her shaking from his spot behind Jamie and slightly to the Healer’s left. Annastasia was standing on her daughter’s other side and had no problem taking her hand.“It’ll be fine,” Jamie assured her. Cadon had lost count of how many times he&

The angry monsters were coming at them, and Jo, Zane, Scott, and Cassidy were outnumbered at least ten to one. The chances of them being able to shoot all of the monsters dead before any of them died were slim to none.Thankfully, Cassidy didn’t have to shoot the monsters in order for her to get them out of their way. As Jo and Zane worked on shooting them, Cassidy used her powers to create a bubble around the monsters, one they couldn’t break through. Jo held her fire, afraid she might do something to mess Cassidy’s plan up. The men followed suit. The monsters were contained, but it wasn't clear how long they would stay that way, and they were still blocking the group from reaching the door, the only means of escape.For now.Cassidy directed Jo, Scott, and Zane to move behind her. “Get out

The penthouse was far quieter than Cadon had ever experienced before. At least, he couldn’t remember a time when his previous home wasn’t buzzing with noise of some kind. Whether it was his parents talking and laughing or loud music coming from his sister’s room, noise always filled the space. Now, he was sitting on a foreign sofa in a room that was painted the wrong color and had no decorations on the wall, and all he could think about was whether or not any of his family members would ever be in this home with him again.He’d decided to stop sitting in Christian’s office after a couple of hours of waiting for Jo to come back through the portal with his mom. It wasn’t that he didn’t have faith in either his sister or his mother. It was just… Ashley had told him the room was finished, and he’d needed to see it.

Over her twenty-five-year-long lifetime, Jo had had to go to lots of places she would’ve rather never visited. She could think of several. The opera. A friend’s piano recital. The principal’s office. A cave full of bat poop. The gates of hell.Yep, through the doorway that led to hell had to be the least favorite place she’d ever gone that she had no choice but to travel to.Once they crossed through the doors, everything changed drastically, which was a shock to Jo because she thought the portal already seemed so much like hell itself. These tunnels that led down to the depths of despair were even more terrifying and lonely than anything she’d ever experienced before.“Are you getting a signal from Cass on your IAC?” Scott asked as Jo tried to keep her focus. All arou

Sitting in Annastasia and Mallory’s living room--again--Cadon tried to stay quiet and let Jamie and Ashley answer all of the questions the girl had. Plenty of questions popped out of her mouth as they were talking about the pluses and minuses of becoming a Hunter. Mallory’s biggest concerns seemed to be actually having to fight Vampires and the pain that she would have to undergo in order to turn herself into a Hunter.“I have a medicine I will give to you after I give you the first shot, the Transformation serum,” Jamie was explaining. “I can’t give it to you until two minutes after the first shot, but most people don’t have a reaction until after those two minutes have passed anyway. For most people, the first Transformation shots aren’t painful at all. When some LIGHTS team members have chosen to have a second Transformation shot, later in their career, so

Standing alone in the tunnel with no way of reaching the hole her mother had just disappeared through was more terrifying to Jo than she was willing to admit. Just a split second after her mother’s feet were gone through the opening, her heart started hammering in her chest, and she felt like she was going to throw up. But she took a second to assess the situation and reminded herself that she was okay. Lots of people knew where she was.That didn’t mean they’d be able to get her out.She knew her aunt could float her out, though. At least she hoped she would be able to. The thought that her powers might not work through the floor made Jo nervous. She took some deep breaths and waited.Only a few seconds had passed, but the panic was already there. “I trust you, Mom,” Jo whispered. &ldq

Cadon wandered back over to the building where he thought he’d find Jamie and Ashley. He just hoped he didn’t run into them making out again. Even though they didn’t look old, they were still his friend’s parents, and that was kinda gross, sort of like walking in on his own parents making out.Not that that would ever happen again.He pushed the thought aside. Sometimes it was hard to remember that his dad was gone. He just hoped that his sister was having some luck locating their mom.Cadon entered the building and heard voices coming from the office on the left right inside the door. Jamie’s office. The door was open, so he stuck his head in. Ashley and Jamie were sitting across from a couple he didn’t recognize. The male looked familiar for some reason
Night Slayer Chapter 134
Jo could hardly believe that she was walking alongside her mother. She kept wanting to quiz the being beside her to see if she really was Cadence Findley McReynolds, or if this was some sick joke played on her by the Vampires. Maybe this was a demon that happened to look like her mom. Maybe it was a Vampire that someone as powerful as Holland was able to make look like her mom. It was just… surreal.“Do you know where we’re going, honey?” Cadence asked. “I’ve been up and down this corridor lots of times.”“You have?” Jo was surprised to hear that. “Yes, I think I know how to get out.”“Yeah, for the first… I don’t know how long… I kept trying to figure out how to get out, but after a while, I just sort of gave up, I guess.
