Chapter 232
Saturday, everyone left to go back to headquarters. Telling them goodbye wasn’t as difficult as I thought it might be since I knew I’d be seeing them again soon, but part of me didn’t want to let Elliott out of my sight in case he’d turn back into a pumpkin. And I didn’t want Brandon to leave either for obvious reasons.
I went to Lucy’s house almost immediately as soon as they were all off to the airport. Emma met me at the Burk Mansion. I’d already talked to them about Elliott and my grandma, but I had to tell them my personal news, and I didn’t want to let it go any longer than I had to. That was something that needed to be relayed in person.
It seemed like a million years since we’d sat here speculating about what my sister was and whether or not she was responsible for Drew’s and/or Jack’s deaths. Now, I was sitting in the same spot on Lucy’s couch telling them I was dropping out of high school

I wanted to be as much use to my sister and the rest of the team as I could. If I was going to prove to them that my moving to Kansas City was a good idea, then a little bit of information about Gibbon could go a long way toward that. The fact that Lucy was right next to me, that I felt anchored and safe, made me brave. I sent a question out into the abyss.“Where is the Jogging Path Killer?” I asked, stretching my mind, reaching for all things Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell. The Eagles. The Museum of Art. “Where is Gibbon?”Like static on a television, a flickering began to occur in my mind. A station, just out of tune, fighting through the blizzard of gray and white. It was startling, but I dug my fingernails into Lucy’s sofa and pressed on. “Where is he? Where is the Jogging Path Killer?” At first, all I heard were random comments about the Eagle defense and whether or not tickets to the zoo were t

“I beat you this time!” Christian insisted.Aaron waved him off. “It doesn’t matter. We need to get to Philadelphia now. This could be bad. Really bad.”“Absolutely,” Christian agreed.Relieved that I was right, and they’d figured it out, I sat back into the couch a little bit. “You did it, Cass,” Brandon said. “Nice job.”I didn’t get a chance to reply because the conversation continued, and I wanted to hear it, so I sent him a heart-eye emoji. “What are you talking about?” Elliott asked for the rest of the team.Aaron opened his mouth to answer, but his phone dinged, and whether he was answering Elliott’s question or reading, I wasn’t sure, but either way the answer seemed to be the same. “Eastern State Penitentiary.”Christian nodded. “Yes, that has to be where Ms. Riggins disappeared.” I didn&rsq

My sister ended up fighting to get me on that plane, in all actuality. Perhaps she felt bad about not believing me, though she had yet to mention anything close to an apology to me. Aaron had also been quick to jump on board, and I don’t think Elliott had to do anything at all. It was my parents who seemed to think it wasn’t a good idea. Ultimately, my sister could be pretty convincing when she wanted to be, and they both insisted on driving me to the airport to meet the plane as it made a quick stop on the way from KC to Philly.I had an overnight bag packed, but I honestly thought my days in Shenandoah were done. Part of me wished I’d realized my last day in high school had been my last day. Maybe I would’ve said something a little snarkier to Liam or Jessica. I definitely would’ve said more to Wes and Milo—though I knew I’d still be seeing them whenever possible. It was weird to think I may never grab a book out of a locker again o

We arrived at the hotel around noon. I’d be sharing a room with my sister, which I wasn’t exactly thrilled about. She still hadn’t apologized for not taking me seriously the day before when I’d contacted her to let her know what I’d heard about the Klondike, and something told me she’d already decided she didn’t need to say she was sorry. I disagreed. I dropped my stuff on my bed and wandered back into the living space.The Guardians didn’t sleep much, and neither did some of the Hunters, but we still had quite a few rooms in the hotel. So I was a little surprised to see so many people had deposited their bags in their room and then chose to congregate in our living quarters. There was just a couch, a couple of chairs, and a television. No kitchenette or anything like that, though I thought one of the cabinets under the TV was probably a refrigerator. Still, by the time I walked out, Brandon, Elliott, and Aaron were already ther

As we walked, we passed Cale and Morgan, not only still next to each other, but she had her arm around him. My eyes enlarged, and I looked at my sister who looked just as surprised as I felt. I almost laughed. I’m not sure why I thought it was funny, but I did.We walked out into the brisk February air, headed back to the hotel, which was close by. “How are you feeling?” Brandon asked.“Good,” I replied. “I’m a little nervous, but I think it’ll be fun.”He chuckled. “I guess that’s one way to look at it. Especially since nothing remotely dangerous is going to happen to you.”“What do you mean?” I asked as one of the cars driving by honked loudly, apparently at nothing.“You’re going to be surrounded by an army of Healers and my dad. There’s no way in the world Gibbon’s getting within a hundred yards of you.”I nodded, thinking th

My sister came back a couple of hours later. She looked exhausted and headed almost immediately for the bedroom. Aaron and Elliott were with her, and they both sat down without saying anything, aloud anyway, and Brandon and I exchanged glances. We had been watching The Goonies, but now real-life monsters seemed much more important than the ones on the show.“Everything okay?” I asked, looking from one of them to the other.“Yeah, she’s just tired,” Aaron said. He looked a little tired himself.I glanced at Brandon, and he gave me a reassuring smile. With a deep breath, I stood, deciding it was now or never, and headed for the bedroom.Cadence was sprawled on the bed she’d claimed earlier. Her eyes were closed, but when I sat down on the other bed across from her, she opened them. “What’s up, Sis?” she asked, forcing a smile.“Do you have a minute?” I asked. “I wanted t

Eastern State Penitentiary was enormous. Standing outside the massive stone wall and looking up made waves of despair wash over me as I tried to envision what it would be like to stand on this threshold as a prisoner, knowing the moment your feet crossed the boundary, you could be locked up here for years, maybe even die behind this block of stone and steel.From the outside, I couldn’t even see the building itself, but I could imagine how immense the structure must be. I tried my best to take deep breaths and remember we needed to take this one step at a time. I’d wait until I was inside to worry about the darkness I could already feel emanating from the building, threatening to suck me in. I knew immediately that Gibbon was here and had no doubt he was pulled here by the blackness I felt tugging at the edges of my thoughts as well.We’d parked several blocks away so that Gibbon wouldn’t be tipped off that we were nearby. I didn’t think t

I was relieved to see Jamie and Cale already in position. Jamie made me feel safe, and he smiled at me, though I could tell he was busy. My attention was pulled in another direction as Brandon tugged on my arm.“I gotta go get in position,” he said, leading me away from his dad a little bit.“Okay,” I replied, feeling butterflies in my stomach, mostly of the Vampire variety but also because I was looking into his green eyes.“Be careful,” he warned.“You, too.”He smiled at me and leaned down and kissed my cheek before he headed off toward his spoke. I watched him for as long as I could before I returned my focus on Elliott and Jamie who seemed to be involved in a conversation I wasn’t privy to.Jamie nodded while Elliott continued to talk to someone as he looked around, and then he nodded before turning to me. Elliott took me gently by the arms and loo
