“I don’t know. Analise is walking the highway looking for her. Havoc said he thinks she might have been trying to find her way to Analise. I don’t know anything else except Analise said to come find you because you know things.”

“Okay, okay. Hold on…” Tempest said, closing her eyes and releasing some of her powers to search for the little girl.

“What are you doing? Let’s go, we got to go!” Emmalyn insisted.

“Shhh! Hold on…” Tempest said, canting her head just slightly. “Okay, I got her, but she’s not alone.”

“Who’s she with? Where is she?” Emmalyn demanded.

“Call Havoc, tell him that she’s okay. I’m going to her now.”

“Wait! Where?”

“The woods, before Kaid’s property,” Tempest said as green mists began to swirl and Tempest disappeared before Emmalyn’s eyes.

“Holy fuck,” Emmalyn breathed, her hands shaking as she dialed Havoc’s number. “Fucking mists… I need some mists,” she grumbled.

“You find her?” Havoc demanded, taking Emmalyn’s call at once.

“Kinda.”

“Emmalyn, now is not the fucking time!” Havoc bellowed.

“Tempest said she’s going to her now. She’s not alone, but she’s okay and she’s going to her.”

“Where?”

“She said the woods before Kaid’s property. That’s all I know. Analise is out there, too.”

Havoc pressed his foot on the accelerator as he tossed his phone at Ronan who was hanging out of the truck screaming Harley’s name on his side of the vehicle. Havoc kept his eyes trained on the woods as they went past and just barely managed to catch sight of two bright green high heel pumps sticking up out of the mud on the side of the ditch with several fresh footprints leading from the ditch and into the woods. He slammed on his brakes and threw the vehicle into park. “I’m going in!”

“I got the truck, just go,” Ronan said, scooting over the seat to get to the driver’s side.

Havoc hit the ground running, screaming for Harley with every step he took, his eyes glued to the tiny footprints he followed, not doubting for a second they were Analise’s.

“There you are,” Tempest said, lifting the low hanging branches to find Harley sitting beneath them looking up at her teary-eyed.

“I got lost,” Harley said between hiccups.

“It’s okay. Everybody gets lost sometimes. But there are lots of people out looking for you. Look at you! You must be freezing. It’s a good thing I brought you this coat, huh?”

“You brought me a coat?”

“I sure did,” Tempest said, creating the coat out of thin air and wrapping it around Harley’s shoulders.

“Harley?!” Analise called from somewhere nearby.

“I’m right here!” Harley called out, jumping to her feet. “That’s Analise!”

“It is, she’s looking for you, too.” Tempest raised her voice. “We’re here, Analise!”

“Help me. Help me!” a woman’s voice called from about sixty feet away. “What about me?! Help me! I need help more than she does!”

Harley looked afraid suddenly and started crying again.

“None of that now. You don’t worry about her. I’m going to take care of her.”
