Addressing the Team
Just a few days after her passing, Grandma Janette’s memorial service was held in the church she had attended regularly for the last fifteen years in Des Moines. The obituary said she’d passed of a sudden illness, and no one seemed to question the situation. Cadence had sat through the service stoically, Aaron’s arm around her; she was getting far too familiar with funerals.
While Cassidy’s conversation with her parents had been successful, they asked if she could wait a week or two in order to tie up loose ends at school and give them an opportunity to adjust to life w

The room broke into a buzz of conversations as most people stood and began to make their ways toward the exits. The majority of the people in attendance knew Aaron well enough to understand it would do them no good to ask questions once he’d said the discussion was over. Cadence noticed her friends beginning to congregate to the front right hand side of the first row, and she planned on going over to talk to them just as soon as possible. Before she headed that way, she turned to Aaron, who had clicked off the mic and was straightening up the dais. Once she had his attention, she asked, “Do you think that went okay?’

“All right, I’ve got pants on. This better be good,” Elliott said as he folded his large frame into the seat next to Cadence around the conference room table. She couldn’t help but think how extremely normal it was for him to be sitting in the same chair he’d always sat in before, like nothing had ever changed.He’d had the opportunity to say hello to each of them earlier in the day, before the meeting, since these were the Guardians and Hunters he’d also worked most closely with right before he died. All of them were at Sierraville except for Shane. M
The Clandestine Saga Vampire Eavesdropping
While Cadence wanted to ask Brandon why he was on the IAC during the meeting, she held her tongue. “Okay,” she said as she allowed her sister to message her. The conversation continued around her, and though she could hear that they were speculating about where everyone else disappeared, and Aaron pulled out his phone, she couldn’t focus on both conversations at once. “Cass? What’s up? We’re in a meeting.”“I know. Sorry,” she said. “I wish I was there.&
The Clandestine Saga Back to Philly
It had been a short argument, but Cadence had won, and when they loaded the plane to head to Philly the next morning, her sister was on it. Aaron had been a bit easier to convince than their parents, but Cassidy handled most of that, and as she sat next to Aaron toward the front of the plane, Cadence felt relieved that her sister was sitting in the back next to Brandon. At least this time there could be no surprises; Cassidy couldn’t sneak up on them if she was already with the rest of the team.Along with the other team members who had participated in the meeting, they had also called i
The Clandestine Saga Planning the Take Down
The usual conference room that the Philly team met in was not large enough for the group Aaron and Cadence had assembled, so they met in the gymnasium where training was held instead. The entire Philly team, which consisted of ten Hunters and fifteen Guardians, as well as the Kansas City contingent, Cale and three of his people, and Morgan and five of hers, gathered together on folding chairs, though many of them sat back on the periphery so that the leaders could discuss what needed to happen next.Andrew Cooper had been apologetic when he met with Cadence and Aaron before the large assembly,
The Clandestine Saga Stand Still
“It’s pretty simple, Cass,” Cadence was explaining, sprawled out on one of the beds in the hotel room she would share with her sister for as long as they were in Philly. “You just stand there between Elliott and Jamie. If either one of them has to come help, you glue yourself to the other one. If both of them come to help, then you switch to Cale or Scarlet, the Healer from Philly. That’s it. You just stand there.”Cassidy sighed. She was pacing the room, doing her best to convince her sister that she needed to be more involved, but so far Cadence wasn&rsquo
The Clandestine Saga New Weapon
The weaponry the team had amassed for this hunt was impressive. Between the four different areas that were now involved, they were able to gather all kinds of firearms and even a few specially designed hand grenades that Christian had come up with, which sprayed a concentrated silver liquid that would potentially take out a Vampire without damaging the location of impact. While they’d never been used on a hunt before, the Guardian was clearly excited to try one out tonight, should the opportunity present itself, and as Aaron, Jamie, and Cale finished packing the last of the extra weapons into the back of one of Andrew’s vans, Christian explained how it had come about.
The Clandestine Saga Eastern State
Even though she had seen pictures and videos, looked at maps, and had it described to her numerous times, Cadence still wasn’t prepared for the enormity of Eastern State Penitentiary. Standing on the outside, looking up at the massive structure, it was hard to imagine what it must have been like to know you’d be spending years—maybe decades—entrapped inside, coming through the colossal outside wall into the building as a prisoner.It had taken several vehicles to transport them all to the site, and they had parked them all in various locations a few blocks away so that
