Signals
Jamie continued. “Whatever came back through the portal, it could be capable of sending out a signal, the same sort of signal Holland used to distract the team that night.”
The mention of Holland made the hair stand up on Cadence’s arms, but she pushed the thought aside. There was little to no chance that of all the Vampires in hell she would be the one to force her way through the portal. “So… you think the Vampires still have their trackers, they’re just scrambled or masked somehow?”
“I think that might be the case,” Jamie nodded.
Cadence turned to Christian, who was still nodding his head. “Is there any way that you can unscramble them—change the frequencies—anything?”
“I’m certain that’s not what’s happening—” he began.
“Humor me,” Cadence insisted.
A sigh of frustration emanated from his lips. “Yeah, I gue

The Clandestine Saga Company
One of the lights outside of the gym had been flickering for the better part of a week. Cassidy had meant to mention it to Juan Diego in case he just didn’t know, but every time she saw him, it slipped her mind. Now, as she stepped out into what should’ve been a chilly evening, the vibrating light glanced off bushes and pavement, creating an eerie atmosphere, like an old horror movie filmed in black and white. It fit Cassidy’s disposition, and she wondered what role she would play in such a picture. Right now, she felt more like the villain than the damsel in need of rescue.She’d lingered too long. The sound of voices behind her had her sighing in annoyance. It would have been easier to do what she had in mind if she were all alone. Now, there might be some explaining involved.Cassidy turned to see Tara and Dax walking along chatting amicably. She smiled and said, “See you guys tomorrow,” taking a couple of steps backward, praying
The Clandestine Saga Open
They reached the front of the building, and once again, Cassidy was shocked to see there were no Guardians standing outside. The night before, they were everywhere. “This is so weird,” she muttered.“Maybe it’s unlocked,” Dax offered, giving the handle a tug.Cassidy was just about to say that wasn’t possible when the door swung open. “What in the world?” She looked at each of her friends cautiously before the three of them stepped in.The lights were out, all but a flickering fluorescent bulb down what appeared to be the main hallway off to the left, and it reminded Cassidy of the streetlamp. They couldn’t hear anything except for the irritating sound of the light buzzing. Cassidy looked down the hall to the right, which was pitch black. She could see well enough, however, with her Vampire eyesight. Nothing was moving at all that way.“What do you think is wrong?” Tara asked.&ldquo
The Clandestine Saga What Happened
There was no explanation as to why the Guardian wouldn’t be able to see Cassidy’s signal. Confused, Cassidy asked, “Did you try sending for help?”“Tried… no answer….” The woman’s voice was a hoarse croak.“Brandon is getting help,” Cassidy assured her. “Just hang on.”She nodded, and Cassidy continued to puzzle over why she was able to get a message to Brandon but no one else could be reached by anyone inside of the tagging center.“Look, if this Brandon person is getting help, maybe we should hang back,” Dax suggested as they began to walk, weapons drawn, down the dark hall in the direction Cassidy believed would lead them back to the holding cells. She’d read some of the signage the night before and had an idea where it was that they kept the Vampires who had come in to be tagged. She remembered what she’d been told about no new Vampires coming in, b
The Clandestine Saga Bonnie Explains
“What happened, Bonnie?” Cassidy asked, pushing the little girl away from her slightly so that she could look her in the eyes.“The bad men,” Bonnie replied, her eyes wide with fear. “The bad men came.”“What?” Cassidy asked, not sure what she could mean. Perhaps she thought the Guardians here meant to hurt her. That would make sense if she’d seen them fighting the other Vampires who had apparently staged some sort of breakout. “No, honey. Not bad men. Good men.”“No. Bad. Very bad.” Her eyes narrowed, turning from the steel gray Cassidy was used to a darker black. Her pale skin illuminated slightly, and red rings formed around her eyes.“We are here to help you, Bonnie,” Cassidy said, alarmed. The child’s countenance shifted. Her fangs protruded from what had been perfectly formed, thin, pink lips, and her cherublike features morphed becoming gaunt as he
The Clandestine Saga Emergency
The meeting was over and everyone except for Christian was sitting around chatting about nothing in particular when the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from the hallway caught their attention enough to make Elliott pause mid-sentence, which was significant to Cadence. A few seconds later, the office door burst open and Brandon flew in, out of breath. “Why the hell isn’t anyone answering their IACs?”“What are you talking about?” Cadence asked as everyone leapt to their feet. She’d been getting plenty of notifications all night from several different area leaders.“What’s going on?” Aaron asked already standing in front of Brandon even though a nanosecond earlier he’d been all the way on the other end of the table.“Cass… the tagging center. Something’s wrong at the tagging center.”Immediately, Cadence tried to reach her sister and had absolutely no luck even forci
The Clandestine Saga Hunt
“Cassidy!” Brandon’s voice echoed down the hallway, and she saw his eyes widen as he looked down at Aaron, who had managed somehow to pull himself up to sitting, both hands wrapped around his neck as blood spirted through his fingers. Behind him, at least ten other armed Guardians were sprinting their direction. Cadence assumed the rest of them must’ve split into other directions and taken different hallways.Once Brandon had his arms around her sister, Cadence took off toward the sound of the gunfire. Shane, who had been in the lead of the pack following Brandon, was running alongside her.“I sent other teams down the other hallways. What the hell’s going on?”“No idea,” Cadence admitted. “We’re looking for Bonnie.”“The little girl?”“Yep.”More shouting and shots rang out ahead of them and then a screech like nothing Cadence had ever heard befo
The Clandestine Saga Tara
Cadence slid in a pool of blood as she rounded the final corner approaching the office, barely keeping her balance. The crimson substance was everywhere. Her clothes were coated with it, mostly Aaron’s she assumed, even her hair. She tried not to think about it as she glanced around and noticed two Guardians she hadn’t even seen before lying very still on the ground, their eyes closed tightly in anguish. While she wanted to stop and see if there was anything she could do, she realized the only person who could currently help either one of them was trying to save a young Hunter, and if this Tara girl looked anything like Aaron had when she first caught him in the hallway, there was no way she was going to make it.Her boots crunched on the broken glass of the office door. She opened the blood splattered door on the right where the glass was still intact and followed the bloody footprints back down the hall toward the playroom.As she entered the room, Brando
The Clandestine Saga Get Help
“You—guy whose name I can’t remember….” Cadence continued.“Dax.”“Right. Find a phone. Dial extension 011. You should get Aurora. Tell her to arm herself, get Meagan, and go to the trainee apartment complex. Tell her we need Ona Pierce and, uh….”“Martin Green!” Jamie shouted in a whisper.“Martin Green. As soon as possible. Tell them to be extremely careful.”“Okay. A phone….” Dax looked around. Since everyone had an IAC, there weren’t too many of them in all of headquarters.“I’ll go with you,” Cassidy said, placing her hand gently on Tara’s arm before she stood. “There’s a phone at Lena’s desk, and I think I might be able to use her computer to fix the IAC problem.”“You do?” Cadence asked, eyeing her sister suspiciously. She knew she was very techy, but this see
