Chapter 38

The alarms wailed for another five minutes and when they suddenly cut out, my ears continued to ring.

Miles and Levi ran into the room. I tore my gaze away from the crimson puddle.

"Whoever that was waltzed past all our security, magic and human, disabled the magic nulling on the cell, and got inside despite it being locked." Miles' voice was tight and he glowered with a barely leashed anger.

If Miles was a hot rage, Levi was scary cold.

"Fix this," Levi said. "I don't care what it takes to secure this building, think of every possible vulnerability and plug it."

"I will."

"Wait a sec." Both men turned to me. "Who knew that Yitzak had been charged with the assault?"

"A number of cops. Why?" Miles said.

"How did the killer know Yitzak was down here in isolation and not in the regular holding area unless he was tipped off?"

Levi and Miles exchanged a grim look.
