that spoke into his mind was soft, ethereal.
“She says she loves you and is proud of you,” he said aloud for the first gen to hear. “And to keep your clothes on.”
The first gen laughed. “I will, Mama, thank you.”
The ghost faded, returning to the Other Side. Nathan released the first gen’s hand and sat on his bed. The first gen’s aura sparkled with cheerfulness.
“I’m taking a nap. Can we talk later?” the first gen asked.
“Sure.”
Nathan watched him lay down then did so himself. He appreciated the uninterrupted time to think and to dwell on all he’d learned since arriving Monday. Folding his hands behind his head, he stretched out his legs and relaxed.
A fallen guardian, a vigilante group of rogue spirit guides, a gateway to Hell.
They were entering a new era, one that caught him off guard. Adaptable and open to anything new, he was also overly aware that this era would push him out of his comfort zone. He worked well alone and preferred to be independent in every aspect of his life. Likewise, it was going to be hard to balance or counter 3G if the members of the spirit guide corps remained isolated. 3G was willing to kill guides, and the Satanists like Eddy were growing bolder with the arrival of Shadowman.
Things were about to change completely, and he was intrigued by what was to come. Was this why his thoughts kept returning to Kaylee? Because she was different? A challenge?
Sharp, bright, and gorgeous, Kaylee didn’t seem like the kind who had someone thrown in prison just because she could. She hadn’t fallen for his lies and defended her boss, a man she clearly didn’t care for. If Nathan didn’t mention Shadowman, he suspected he’d never have gotten past her tough exterior.
Content he did, he wondered how long it’d take for her to come get him. There was no doubt she would. The pragmatic attorney had been spooked at the mention of Shadowman. How strong was Shadowman that he could manifest himself somehow beyond Mike for a complete stranger to see?
Her large, blue eyes, sharp tongue and shapely body had done more than draw his interest. He had the unusual urge to have his hands on her whenever they were around. He’d been turned on dealing with her. Women were always attracted to him, but rarely – if ever – did they fail to fall to his charm, when he used it on them the way he did Kaylee. Her defiance was more of a turn on than he expected.
I just broke up with someone. Do I really need this now? Though if it was someone like Kaylee … Maybe a fling until I leave DC for Arizona.
He tapped his fingers on the wall.
Eventually, his thoughts shifted from Kaylee to what danger she and Mike both might be in from Shadowman. He’d left Amira at the apartment under Randy’s watch while Maggy went out to try to find Mike.
Thus far, Mike was nowhere to be found, a sign that maybe Shadowman figured out they knew it was staying in the human realm. It might’ve convinced Mike somehow to leave the area. Guardian angels had the ability to be anywhere at anytime, even to be in multiple places at once. Nathan had to assume that Shadowman could as well.
It’ll be hard to kill Mike, if I can’t find him.
Nathan glanced occasionally at the clock on the wall outside the drunk tank cells.
The sooner they found Mike, the better. The only real lead they had to Mike’s whereabouts was his sexy protégé, who was putting up more of a challenge than Nathan expected.
This trip was turning out to be the best thing that happened to him in a long time.
Except he needed a cigar. The death sticks couldn’t kill him, but he was susceptible to nicotine addiction.
Nathan closed his eyes and slid into a meditative state, allowing his mind to connect to the Other Side. His breathing grew steady and slow, his focus shifting from this world to the other. The self-induced trance always left him rejuvenated and refreshed.
“Nathan.” Kaylee’s soft voice drew him from his meditation, some
