Rhodack took a sip of his drink. Vikuth’s head turned to watch the servant leave.
“She’s new,” Rhodack murmured.
“I’ve noticed.” Vikuth’s eyes lit up with that knowledge. The tension was temporarily broken up by the playfulness in his friend’s eyes. “I’ll have to introduce myself to her later.”
“Not while we’re investigating this breach you’re not,” Rhodack announced, killing the mood.
The smile disappeared from Vikuth’s face at the statement. He nodded to Rhodack.
“Please. Continue your story,” Rhodack urged.
“As I was saying, the energy was streaming from a house that I found to only have two human females in it.” Vikuth returned back to his story, all traces of his playfulness now gone.
“But how could that be possible? Are you sure it wasn’t something else?”
Vikuth shook his head. “No. I’m sure it was coming from the house. I flew over it. This energy was strong and powerful. I’m not sure if this is a coincidence, but it happened the same day as the breach. I don’t want to overlook anything.”
“As we shouldn’t.” Rhodack placed his empty glass on the table. The wheels in his brain turned.Couldthis be a coincidence? Most paranormals could control their powers. They wouldn’t just let energy stream out for no reason.
“Any word from the other clans?” Vikuth asked.
“Yes. Apparently Cleveland isn’t the only city to have the same issue.”
Vikuth cursed beneath his breath. “I will go look into the energy. It has to be related. We’ve flown the skies for centuries, and I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“Find the source and bring it to me.”
