Bella reached into the compartment and retrieved his phone, but she didn't
hand it over immediately. "There is more."
He didn't know how much more he could take. "Lay it on me."
"She has sent something via courier.A package." She hesitated. "It sounds
crazy, but& I believe it could be her heart."
"What?" This just kept getting better and better. Max shifted in his seat,
hoping he could use his left foot to push the gas andbrake pedals and take the
strain off his broken knee. "Do you know where she sent it?"
Bella waited far too long before answering. When he looked at her, she stared
back with hard eyes. "Where doyou think she sent it?"

Max turned back to the road and clenched the steering wheel tighter.
Chapter Ten: Sire
"What? Is she okay?"
I looked up from the incredibly dull book in ray lap no great sacrifice at
Nathan's startled exclamation. The only time he ever sounded so worried was
over something evil-forces related, or when we were running low on beer. Now,
he stood in the kitchen, phone in hand, frown lines creasing his brow.
He noticed me watching him, and turned his back so I couldn't see his
expression. Still, no matter how much he lowered his voice, I could hear him.
"Not off the top of my head, I don't." The disdain in Nathan's voice tipped
me off. He was talking to Max. "How should I& I don't know, get an atlas!"
I snorted. Nathan turned and gave me a sharp look, but it faded into concern
as he listened to Max. "I have no idea what he would want with it. I know what
I would do if I had it."
I joined him in the kitchen. I didn't know what I could do, other than stand
beside him posing wordless questions with facial expressions and hand
gestures. But at least I felt like I was doingsomething .
"Well, keep an eye on her. And let me know what you decide." There was a long
pause. "We'll find out. Just stay put. Give yourself time to heal. Let us know
if you need any help."
Time to heal?
"What the hell happened?" I demanded when Nathan hung up the phone.
He rubbed his eyes. He was just as tired as I was. "The Oracle popped into
Bella again.Used her to break Max's knee."
"Is she okay?" It was an unnecessary question. If something had happened to
Bella, I'd have been able to hear Max screaming over the phone.
"She's fine. It was nowhere near as bad as the last time. Well, for her, that
is." Nathan went to the cupboard over the sink and pulled down a bottle of
Bailey's Irish Cream. "I'm going to make coffee. And I'm going to put a lot of
alcohol in it. You want some?"
"Yeah, I could use some." I dropped into one of the kitchen chairs and
plunged my fingers through my hair. It was only 2:00 a.m., but we'd spent the
whole night inside and my internal clock was screwed. Even my scalp felt
tired. "Well, we were expecting the Oracle to make another attack on them.
They had to know it was coming, too. They're smart."
"Yeah, but Max isn't thinking logically. He wants to turn around and come
back." Nathan slipped a filter into the coffeemaker and reached into the
refrigerator for the can of coffee. "I almost wonder& "

"Wonder what?" Usually, if Nathan had a hunch, he was right.
He smiled and shook his head."Nothing. I'm tired. My brain is misfiring."
Once the coffeemaker was merrily dripping away, he headed toward the living
room. I grabbed his arm as he passed. "I can't face all those books without
liquid fortification. Sit with me a minute, take a break."
Reluctantly, he took the other chair. "Bella did have more information for
us. The Oracle is going to a place calledDanvers . And she sent a care package
to the Soul Eater. Bella thinks the Oracle sent him her heart."
"Why would she do something like that?" Truthfully, I was surprised she even
had it. It seemed someone at the Movement would have taken it from her, in
case she ever got loose.Right now would have been fine . But it wasn't the
first time the Movement had dropped the ball. "Well, let's look at a map
ofMassachusetts, see if she pickedBoston for a reason."
"You're right. That's the logical place to start." He exhaled noisily. "But
you should callCyrus, find out if he knows anything."
"He probably won't, but Dahlia will know. She's still working for the Soul
Eater." I bit my lip, feeling somehow like Judas for what I was about to say.
"I'm worried. That he might be& "
"A double agent?"Nathan tried to imitate a Sean Connery as James Bond accent
and failed, Scottish though they both might be. "I'm sure this will come as no
surprise to you, but I've considered it. Unfortunately, he's the only source
we have."
I rested my chin on my hands. "Has your life ever been, you know, boring?" [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
