The Reckoning (Unbounded Series #4) (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Just by linking with her, I felt the drain on my energy increase. Channeling her ability, numbers filled my head, and I instinctively chose the right ones that would help me fold space. Not too far. Just inside the door. Shifting, I reappeared with my gun ready. The dark room stank like blood, sweat, and human waste, making me gag. The only light came from a dimly glowing clown that had probably once been a child’s nightlight. The illumination barely extended beyond the upturned plastic bucket it sat upon, but the room appeared to be the same size as the one upstairs, minus the bunk beds. I heard a gasp from the corner near the faint light and then, “Who’s there?” The words came in English, which surprised me. I flicked my penlight in the man’s direction. He lay on a cot with a thin mattress and one blanket. He was blond with an unshaven face and hair that was plastered to his head with dried blood. His face was cut and bruised so deeply that even if I’d known him, I might not have recognized him.
