Chapter 29

Clouds covered the moon on our drive to the auction in Tofino, leaving little to see along the winding roads beyond the dark press of trees and the occasional "deer crossing" and "tsunami hazard ground" warning signs.

Levi and I didn't speak because there wasn't any privacy barrier with the driver, so instead, I used the time to psych myself up. The situation wasn't ideal. We were walking into an unknown location mostly blind and we didn't know what was being auctioned or what type of danger the other attendees posed. Even if weapons weren't allowed, Nefesh were plenty lethal on their own.
