In Chellar Club

(Casey's POV)

__________

The moment my call with Jace ended, I didn't waste a second.

I dialed Janet immediately.

She picked up on the first ring, her voice low and tentative. "Hi, are you still coming?"

"No," I said, barely able to keep the tightness from my throat. "I finally reached Kira."

"Oh, thank God," she exhaled. I could hear the relief swell in her voice. "Is she okay?"

"She says she is. But you know how she is—cryptic as hell. Still, at least she's safe. You can leave her house now. Just make sure the door's locked behind you, okay?"

"Of course, Casey. I'm just glad she's alright. I was getting really worried."

"Yeah," I murmured. "Me too."
