Teaming Up
Cadence hadn’t really slept for the second night in a row. She had been up past 3:00 with Aaron trying to get the Philly team on track and figure out where Giovani may have disappeared to, but it had been a comedy of errors, and she couldn’t help but wonder what in the world they needed to do to get these area teams on target. Once she finally did go to bed, she had tossed and turned and had possibly gotten two hours of restless sleep--if that.
At 7:30, she arrived at the office she shared with Aaron. He had already been there for hours talking to various members of their team via

Cadence swallowed hard and nodded sharply. “I can do it.”“I know you can,” Aaron agreed, “or else I wouldn’t even let you go. But we cannot make the same kind of stupid mistakes we did last night. No one goes on this hunt that we don’t completely trust not to do anything moronic.”Before Cadence could respond, there was a knock at the door and

“I’m confused.” It was Hannah this time. “Were they fleeing in a helicopter or on foot?”“Both,” Andrew clarified, “though we didn’t know for sure at the time. I thought it was unusual that a helicopter would be taking off during an emergency situation like that, one where the police were on their way. So, I assumed Giovani had something to do with that. And Aaron told us there were four men trying to make an exit down the back stairwell.”
The Clandestine Saga Underground
The passages beneath Jeweler’s Row in the Center City area of Philly were the stuff of legend; tales of what might have been going on under this section of town dated back to the time when what used to be a section of row houses was converted into shops with a plethora of jewelers taking over the area in the mid-eighteen hundreds. While very few humans had ever seen any evidence at all of their existence, the Vampires had dwelt here for decades, finding solace in the dark, dank tunnels and vaults that snaked for miles beneath the innocent city above.It was the perfect place for Giovani
The Clandestine Saga Something's Wrong
Cadence hesitated a bit in boarding the plane. After all, the last time she had been on one, her exit had been hasty and painful. But once the G5 took off and they were up in the air, she began to relax. And her stomach had finally begun to calm down as well. Now, sitting in the front of the airplane with Aaron, who no longer chose to sit in the back now that Elliott was gone, Cadence found herself able to fully concentrate on the task at hand.“Are you doing all right?” Aaron asked, squeezing her hand.

Cassidy had never been on a train before, and neither had Brandon, so pulling into the Amtrack station and determining what to do next was a bit of a challenge for both of them. Cassidy had already purchased her ticket online, but she made her way to the ticket booth, credit card in hand, and made sure there was a seat for Brandon as well.“I can pay for that, you know,” he said as he lingered beside her in line.
The Clandestine Saga Death and Dying
The world around him was spinning, full of darkness, dampness, and pain. Above all else, there was the unbearable pain. Every vein in his body seemed to pulsate with an overbearing burning sensation. His arm ached, his ribs stabbed him with each breath, and his neck was swollen, the gaping holes festering and bleeding. With blurry vision, it was hard to make out the body of the nurse where she lay crumpled next to him. She had to be in even more agony considering she had also been shot. He secretly hoped she would just die so that she wouldn’t be in such misery, but he could hear her crying softly. Dixon was born to help others; knowing he was helpless to save her, in many ways, was far worse than the physical pain he was experiencing. If he had enough energy, he would reach over and wrap
The Clandestine Saga Watson Tells All
Watson looked at Aaron, surprised, wondering how he knew there was something she wasn’t telling them. She swallowed hard. She really didn’t want to talk about it. But when she looked into those blue eyes, she felt like she could, like she could finally unleash the secret she’d been holding for so long. With another deep breath, she slowly began to tell her story. “About three years ago, I lived in an apartment across town with my sister, Rayna. She was a kindergarten teacher, the sweetest, kindest, most innocent person you’d ever meet.” She glanced up to see if they were still with her, and they were looking at her intently, so she found a way to continue. “One night, I came home from my shift late. I was dead tired. She was still up, working on some pro

“So, World War I. That was—a mess, right? I mean, all those trenches and bombs and stuff. Had to be brutal. I feel really bad for anyone who had to fight during that war,” Cadence commented trying to sound nonchalant as she looked over maps of the city with Christian, Stormy, and Jamie.The doctor looked at her with a puzzled expression on his face. “Uh, yeah, I guess so,” he replied before exchanging amused glances with Christian. “What brought that up?”
