There’s no chance Daisy will help us—no way she’ll break Nathaniel’s trust—if Mya knows about it. I turn to Ez. ‘Can we go now—meet them down there?’ Her brow creases, but she nods. ‘Sure.’ ‘Can we shift?’ Ez hesitates for just a second and then reaches for Jude and me. We arrive next to one of two boxing rings. I twist around before I’ve settled properly back into my skin. Search the shadows for movement, strain to hear sounds of activity. I sweep the room twice, wonder if the shift is messing with my senses. I try to steady my breathing but the result is the same. The gym is empty. Banks of fluorescent lights hang from the ceiling; weights and barbells are stacked against the walls; exercise mats cover the concrete floor. But no Daisy. All the strength drains out of me. Where the hell is she? I rub my bare arms. There’s a hint of warmth in the basement, but it’s struggling to take the chill out of the air. The place smells of leather, sawdust and sweat. Ez touches my elbow.
