Through the Roof
Preston and Howard stood between Giovani, Zabrina, and their new prisoner, weapons drawn, with Meat behind them. Once Cadence’s hands were secure, Giovani pulled a black, cloth bag out of the pocket of his long black duster and slipped it over her head so that she couldn’t see. She could still hear her sister crying, and she could see her laying on the floor now, Brandon over her, each time a teammate with an IAC looked in her direction. Now that Zabrina was no longer holding her, Cadence could clearly see a deep red cut down the inside of Cassidy’s upper arm.

Cadence usually dreaded waking up when something bad had happened; she hated that space between wake and dream when she knew she was on the precipice of pain but couldn’t quite remember why. This time, things were different, however. When she awoke, she had no recollection whatsoever of what had happened or where she should be, not until she tried to roll over. Then she realized her hands were restrained, and it all came crashing back around her. She opened her eyes to find herself in a poorly lit room laying on what appeared to be some sort of antique gurney, her hands strapped down beside her. She was thankful the bag was gone from over her head, but the scene around her was not a welcome sight.
The Clandestine Saga Find Them
“What are we missing?” Aaron asked Christian as they walked around, practically in circles, looking for the place where Giovani and Cadence had disappeared. The helicopters both circled overhead, using their bright light to illuminate the ground where the Guardians were searching, but so far it had done no good.Aaron stopped pacing for a moment and surveyed the area slowly one more time. Where would you hide an entrance to a tunnel? If it wasn’t in the ground, where else could it be? And then he noticed a small pier jutting out into the river. It looked as if the water had r
The Clandestine Saga Final Battle
Howard and Clayton were dead—finally. When they hadn’t been able to lose Aurora and her team, they had decided to try to make a break for the jewelry store, using it as cover until they could make their way into the chamber below the floor. They thought they would at least be able to take out the two Hunters and impede the Guardian’s progress enough so that they could get away; they were wrong.Shane had done an excellent job of protecting the Hunters from the Vampires’ fire as they advanced on the storefront. He had taken several rounds of fire himself, but Vampire bul

Gibbon had to choose again—right or left. The tunnel split, and just like his choice between doors, he tried to determine which was darker, which was quieter. They seemed to be about the same, and so he chose to go to his right.Aaron and Christian both knew that Gibbon had taken off down the tunnel because they were able to see it through Cadence’s IAC. Aaron hoped that he would have the opportunity to face the monster and destroy him now before he was unleashed on the world, but when he reached the broken door, he knew it would be up to Christian to encounter Gibbon and defeat hi
The Clandestine Saga Exploring the Past
Grandma Janette’s house had always been a place of solace, and even in this trying time when Gibbon was still on the run, Cassidy was recovering from her injury and trying to figure out her new reality, and Cadence was finding her place as the new Hunter Leader, sitting on her grandmother’s sofa, munching on a homemade chocolate chip cookie, flipping through her grandparents’ sacred photo album made things seem a little more like they used to be. That is, if one wasn’t to dwell on the fact that the pictures of her grandmother she was looking at were hundreds of years old.“Now this o
The Clandestine Saga Photographs
Cadence didn’t say anything, only kept her eyes on her grandmother’s withered face for a few more seconds before returning to the picture in the album.“Now, her name is Peggy Smithstone, and this picture was taken in the late sixties, I believe. She lives in Oklahoma—Norman, I think. At any rate, she is very important, and I think, when you have more time, you should hunt her down—well not, really, not the way that you hunt things down,” her grandmother mused, “but contact her. I think she has some stories you’d like to hear.”

Cadence read the letter twice, tears streaming down her face as the sound of his voice filled her head. When she was done, she folded it back up, handed it to her grandmother, and began to sob uncontrollably.Janette patted her gently on the back, “There, there, darling. It’s all right,” she whispered quietly. “I’m sure the last thing he would want is to cause you grief all over again.”
