2024-10-29 19:42:56The 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

“Can you tell us where we’re going?” Jo asked Cassidy as they sprinted down a hallway perpendicular to the one that they were supposed to be running to.“There’s a skylight in the president’s apartment,” she explained. “Talk about a stupid design. But I guess they figured no one would ever be able to fly over and drop a bomb through it. It’s probably that bulletproof glass, but it still seems dumb to put a skylight in the president’s home.”“He doesn’t live in the White House?” Jo asked.“No. That’s a facade. His real quarters are here.”Jo agreed with Cassidy that it was stupid to put a skylight in the presidents residence, but if it was true, she was glad that was the

Floating was not something Jo liked to do. She didn’t even like flying in airplanes, so when her feet left the concrete of the rooftop she had been running on, it was unsettling to say the least.But she knew exactly what her aunt was doing the moment it happened, and all Jo could do was hold on for the ride.The three of them--Jo, Cassidy, and Scott--were all up in the air at the same time. Somehow, Cassidy managed to catch the bullets from the firing squad and turn them back around, shooting them back at those with the guns. Several of them hit their mark, knocking the shooters to the ground. The Vampires were running toward them, but the bubble of Jo’s powers around them wasn’t allowing any of the enemy's bullets to hit the trio.It wasn’t enough for Cassidy just to turn the bullets away f

There was no attack. The Vampires must’ve known they’d be wasting their valuable resources trying to get the prisoners back, so they stayed put. President Crimson made an announcement to the country, telling them all about how the Australians, along with renegades from LIGHTS, had broken into the capitol and stolen away prisoners that the country had rightfully captured and charged with crimes against the state that required the death sentence. Across the nation, Vampires and their supporters rose up with outcries of injustice. It didn’t matter that most of the Vampire supporters were forced into swearing allegiance to President Crimson and his governmental thugs by threat of death. The state-owned television was full of news reports chronicling what had happened and requesting aid from other Vampire supporting nations to band together against Australia, to launch an attack on the continent while their forces were away in America.

“Ryker,” she said, holding her breath. He looked angry. But then… he always looked angry. “How are you?”“Fucking fantastic,” he said. “I love carrying shards of glass around in my face and chest. It saves space in the cabinets for all of the other dishes.”She couldn’t blame him for being upset, but then, it hadn’t been her fault that the runway was so short. “I’m really sorry about that,” she said, meaning it, even if she had nothing to do with it.Ryker looked at Zane like he had no business being there, so he said, “I’ll go on ahead,” and left her. Jo thanked him through the IAC, not because she particularly wanted to have the conversation Ryker was demanding of her but because she knew it would be better to ge

Social gatherings had never been Jo’s thing. There was so much fake-ness to it. Being around a bunch of people, pretending to be happy, pretending to be interested in what they had to say, all of that was physically draining on her. It wasn’t that she was an introvert as much as she just hated other people in general, for the most part.When Jo left Ryker, she’d walked away with a growing pain in the pit of her stomach. She needed to talk to Margie about getting a plane and a pilot. It wasn’t the sort of conversation she liked to have. She didn’t like to ask for help. But she didn’t have a whole lot of choices at the moment. If she wanted to get her group back to Russia to continue to hunt down Holland, she had to have transportation. The fact that Margie had been the one to recommend the runway that wasn’t long enough wouldn’t be brought up as a reason

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.

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

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.
