"Nova?" The inspector's voice sounded surprised. "Yes, I've found the coven. They're currently at one hundred twenty-four Iris Street but they have a set of underground tunnels. They could travel almost anywhere and we wouldn't know." "I'm dispatching a force right now." "I killed one of them. They're going to come after me." "Then get to the safety of the station." "I'm going as fast as I can, I should be safe until nightfall at least." "I'll wait for you here," Briggles said, before signing off. Nova kept running through the streets. It would still be some time before the sun dipped over the horizon but she had a lot to do before then, including leaving a scent trail for Corvus. *** "You made it," Inspector Briggles said. He was standing at the entrance of the police station with a false smile plastered on his face and a high-powered rifle in his hands. "Yes, but we don't have much time," Nova said. "There's no need to rush. There's plenty of lights here, the lecheons would be blinded if they tried to get in." "They'll turn off the power," Nova said with certainty.
