Chapter 75

“Jade, I’m a private investigator. The police are on their way. Is the thing that took you in here?” Ronan asks quietly.

“It comes at night,” Jade whispers in a weak voice, and Ronan tenses, thinking of the dark sky before he’d entered this windowless room.

He moves his flashlight around, and he can see more cages, more women. He turns to find Dustin, to ask him to start opening the cages and chains with his powers. When Ronan turns to look for him, Dustin is still near the stairs—in the beam of the flashlight, Ronan can see Dustin is pale and his eyes are unfocused. Ronan realizes this place has triggered a vision.

Ronan takes a step toward Dustin and hears one of the women scream. A second later, he sees movement, and then something is close to Dustin. Ronan fires, but it doesn’t stop. Dustin is knocked off his feet by a blur of movement. Ronan sees a manlike figure as his heart races and he fires at it again.
