Chapter 136
A few deep breaths and Jamie’s words of reassurance had my shoulders coming down out of my ears. “Why is Christian like that?” I asked, thinking I could probably have phrased it more eloquently if I wasn’t distracted by the blurs out the window.
“I’m not sure how to answer that,” Jamie admitted. “He’s just an odd guy. The more you get to know him, the more you’ll see that’s how he is. But he’s harmless.”
“Good to know,” I said, turning my head to look out the window and then realizing my mistake and turning so that I was staring at the radio. I didn’t want to stare at Jamie, so I was kind of lost with where to avert my eyes.
“Are you okay?” he asked, clearly seeing I was uncomfortable.
“Fine, thanks.” I didn’t know what else to say. I had a million questions I could ask, but I wasn’t sure what he would agree to tell me before

Somehow, I must have dozed off, because what seemed like a few minutes later, I woke up to Jamie gently shaking my shoulder and realized the SUV was stopped in my grandma’s driveway. I sat up quickly, simultaneously wiping any drool that may have seeped out of my mouth on the back of my hand. Luckily, it was dry. Jamie switched from calling my name to laughing and jumped out of the car.While I wasn’t exactly sure what was so funny, I felt like he was poking fun at me a little bit, so as I got out, I called to him, “You know, a good prom date would’ve come around and opened my door.”“A better prom date wouldn’t have fallen asleep,” he countered, and I had nothing to say in response to that, so I kept my mouth quiet.My grandma met us at the door, smiling and happy to see me as always. “There she is!” she gushed, hugging me and kissing me on the cheek. “You’re getting so tall, Cassidy.&rdquo

Grandma seemed to accept that answer, though I wasn’t sure I did. “Now, let me show you the album,” my grandma said, gently patting the cover. “I won’t show you the whole thing right now because it is too much. I haven’t even gone over it with your sister yet, but I want to show you the wedding photo of your grandfather and I.”I patiently waited as she turned a few pages to an old black and white photograph of herself standing next to a younger looking version of the grandpa I’d seen in pictures, though he didn’t look that much younger than he had in the other photos. I’d always thought he looked strangely young for a grandpa, and of course, now I knew why. The photo looked like it was from the early to mid-19thcentury. “You’re beautiful, Grandma,” I said, staring at her with her hair in short curls around her face, a bouquet of flowers in her arms.“Thank you. Your grandfather s

I was having trouble getting enough oxygen into my lungs. It took me several minutes to regain control of myself. “I never would’ve thought you were such a jokester.”He seemed embarrassed again, so I stopped prodding him on. “The IAC takes a little getting used to, but it’s not too hard to learn. Once you Transform, Christian will put it in—he’s the only one who can—and then you’ll be assigned a mentor to teach you how to use it.”“I guess it really is true, then, that I can’t Transform until I’m seventeen?”“In very rare instances people younger have done it on their own, but no, most of the time, the DNA in your blood hasn’t matured enough to complete the process if you start sooner than that.”I thought about all of that quietly for a few moments before I sighed and said, “Well, I hope that whatever Christian is setting up for me lets me help th

The next few months seemed to whirl by without much going on, and let’s face it, around here, if a month goes by and no one dies, that’s a good month. Christian had shown me how to use the tools he’d installed on my laptop. I was glad Jamie was with us the whole time because there really is just something about that guy. I can’t quite put my finger on it…. Anyway, with this new equipment, I would be able to see closed circuit footage from airports and a few other public places, and Christian gave me as much information as they had available about where Giovani and Sam might be. They were pretty sure they had their finger on Finn and were thinking they’d pick him up soon enough. So I wasn’t shocked to get a call from my sister less than a week later that Finn was dead, and so was the Vampire who’d been involved in the ambush.Later on that month, I went ahead and let Emma install the same software Christian had given to me onto

Once I was in my room, I closed the door behind me, sat down on the edge of the bed and called my sister. It went to voicemail. I was so agitated, I almost chucked my phone across the room. I sent her a text. “Now is good.”I wouldn’t have been shocked if Cadence made me wait an hour or two. Trying to calm my anxiety over what she might have to say and head off my agitation, I picked up my laptop and scanned the news sites, something I’d been doing basically every day since Elliott had mentioned this to me around the time of the killings in Cabo. The headlines jumped out at me. Two plane crashes near Dallas, a school nearby having some sort of vague intruder scare, a truck wreck leaving a man dead. Apparently, my sister had been in Texas.My phone rang, startling me. I set my laptop aside and answered it. “Hello?”“Well, hello there, dear sister. You sound irritated.”“I tried to call you, and you didn

“Look, Cass, you’re killing yourself with this,” Lucy said over lunch in the cafeteria the next morning. “Why don’t we all just agree not to do anymore searches unless we are together. That way, we can keep an eye on our mental health?”“But when can we even get together?” I replied, not very interested in the overcooked burrito on my tray. How can you ruin a burrito? “With school and cheerleading, my stupid piano lessons, and football games….”“Well, we play at home on Friday, and Emma is going this week. Why don’t we all come over to your house after the game, and we can work for a few hours then?”I thought about it. That made sense. We all liked to stay up late on Friday nights anyway, and Lucy would be particularly wired after the football game as she always was. “I guess that will work,” I muttered.“Great. Until then, no more footage. No more news

I was glad calling my sister didn’t actually require any dialing because I imagined I’d be like one of those nervous women in one of those old films, trying to get her shaking finger to make the rotary dial go all the way around in a circle. Instead, I only had to press a few buttons to get my sister on the phone. For some reason, I decided to FaceTime her. Probably not the best idea since Lucy and Emma were there, and I didn’t know if Cadence was aware they’d been helping me. I had a feeling Aaron knew—he seemed to know a lot of things he shouldn’t be aware of—but at the time, I didn’t care. I just needed my sister to see the sincerity in my expression when I told her the big news. We’d actually found Giovani.“Cassidy? What’s up?”Cadence looked relieved to see I was calling for some reason. Though her greeting was nonchalant, I could tell by her tone something was going on. I tried to figure out

“OMG indeed,” Lucy agreed.We sat in silence for a long time before Emma muttered, “Interesting, and scooted away from me, back to where she’d been sitting most of the night, and picked up her laptop.“What are you doing?” Lucy asked her.“Seeing if Christian has already given us access to the cameras we need to try to find out where Giovani went when he left the airport,” she said with a shrug.“Emma, you do realize that we just saw a dude our age who looks just like Elliott? Except not as old, no offense.” Lucy looked up at the ceiling with that last comment, like she was talking to him in heaven.“Yeah, I saw him. His name is Brandon,” Emma said, still typing away. Her forehead crinkled. “It doesn’t look like it was part of the original install. I wonder if he could push it through email.”I was too startled by Brandon’s existence to even think
