“Where is she heading?”
“Toward the bus depot.”
“Thanks. How’s Evie?”
“I will ask Vas.”
Kyla asked Peter a few more questions, making notes on her phone.
“She left the tower to go to the coven,”Samael informed me.
She’d probably had enough of listening to the way Caroline had manipulated this guy into doing her dirty work. My sisterloathedbullies. She’d be disappointed when she got to the hotel and realized Caroline wasn’t there.
“Thank you.”
We left Peter crying in the interrogation room. I pulled my phone from my pocket and texted Evie.
Please don’t say anything to the coven until I bring Caroline in. I want Kyla to watch everyone closely and see their reactions, just in case Caroline was working with someone else.
A few moments passed and then she replied.
Got it.
I glanced at Kyla. “You look exhausted.”
“Are you kidding? I was made for this. Let’s go find the bitch.”

Caroline was easy to track. She hadn’t imagined she’d need to run, so she’d headed straight to the bus station on Pettigrew Street. We found her, ticket in hand, waiting next to a sign that read New York.
I glanced at the schedule. The bus wasn’t leaving for several hours, which explained why there were so few people around.
She spotted us immediately and turned to run. My power whipped out and froze her in place.
“Huh,” I said. “That’s new.”
Kyla raised one eyebrow, glancing between me and Caroline. “Why don’t you do that shit more often?”
“I can’t trust it. My power wants to kill people.” She stared at me and I sighed. “I’ll explain later.”
We moseyed over to the witch. I reached for my power, and it took me a few moments to figure out how, exactly to unfreeze her.
“You’re a monster,” Caroline gasped. “What are youdoing,Danica?”
“More importantly, what areyoudoing, Caroline?”
“I have a friend’s wedding in New York.”
Kyla made a sound like a game-show buzzer. “Try again.”
“I need help,” Caroline blinked back tears. “I’m being framed, and I was too scared to stay until I cleared my name.”
“Better,” I decided. “But still crap.”
I shoved her against the wall.
