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

“What about Cass?” Cadence asked.“What do you want me to do? Take her or leave her?” Elliott asked.“Leave her with Jamie, Cale, and Scarlet,” Aaron r
The Clandestine Saga Mind of a Monster
Cassidy was standing in the middle of the spokes that went off in all different directions down dark corridors lined with prison cells. Elliott had told her to stay with Jamie, no matter what, unless the doctor told her otherwise, and while she didn’t mind any of the Guardians she was standing with, she would’ve been more comfortable if Elliott hadn’t left. Now, she was on her first real hunt, in a dark, allegedly haunted building, practically all alone. And she knew there was a Vampire nearby.She had wanted to call out to Gibbon the second she entered the premises, but so f
The Clandestine Saga Bait
Cale had gotten off two shots before Gibbon caught up to him, and Cadence held her breath as she watched her friend duck into one of the cells, slamming the door behind him. Gibbon looked longingly at the heavy wooden door before letting out a groan and continuing on his way down the cell block. Clearly, he was after easier prey—or just trying to get out now—and Cale would be too much trouble. She was glad the doctor had made that decision; it looked as if Shane and Meagan were both going to need medical attention, and Jamie wouldn’t be able to do all of that alone.They had
The Clandestine Saga Chase Him Down
Gibbon was far enough ahead of them that by the time they reached the spoke he had disappeared down, Cadence wasn’t sure if he had stayed on the first level or went up to the top. There should be no exit at the end of the hall either way, so theoretically, he should be trapped. Of course, he had just been surrounded a few minutes ago, too, and what good had that done them? Still, she thought the silver had to be weakening him, and maybe if they could keep him in the building long enough, shoot him enough times, she could get close enough to him to decapitate him.Somehow, she managed to
