The light wave from the red glowing eyes that dashed out of the telegram emitter room vanished. But it was not what made Tess and Lanse's heart skip a beat. It was the heavier footsteps that were right behind on its trail.
With them standing in the middle of the hallway, what was coming would see them. But what the hell could be inside their living complex at Primus's top-secret HQ? Worse, they didn't have their summoning gloves!
Tess didn't blink to get a quick snap of what was coming with her foreseeing ability. The hand that pulled her to one side was too quick and the hallway shifted out of her sight. In another breath, she was in almost pure darkness.
She shifted her eyes to the crack at the ajar door where the only light from the hallway shined through. It made her aware she got pulled into a room and the beating chest close to hers was Lanse. Both their racing heartbeats meant that was not a romantic moment.
