Cameron had located tubes already, so we were sliding into her car in no time.

“Where will we leave from?” I asked as she drove west through town.

“We’ll head out Frankton Gorge way. There’s a spot there.”

Shoot.

Could I go to Frankton Gorge?

In the back seat, I drew out my phone, pulling up Sascha’s number.

My phone vibrated.

Speaking of the devil.

Where are you going?

I texted him back.

Frankton Gorge. Is that safe?

I pressed Send.

“Have you been tubing before, Andie?” Cam asked.

“Nope. Will I die?”

“Only from fun.” Wade cranked the music.

They sang along to “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa, and I checked my phone.

[Your message was not delivered.]

No reception.

Fuck.

He definitely mentioned vampires in Bluff City, and a witch coven somewhere, and a huge demon kingdom.

I couldn’t remember if the claimed territories included Frankton Gorge. That’s where they gathered after the vampires and demons, right? Or did the witches control it now?

We left theWelcome to Deception Valleysign behind, and my chest tightened.

“I haven’t left the valley in so long,” Wade groaned. “Maybe we should keep going and have a bender in Bluff City. They have this new club, Forbidden.”

Cam waggled her brows. “Sounds like my kind of scene.”

That was a definite no. “I need to be back for the announcement. Just to be a party pooper.”

“Boo,” they chorused.

I focused on listening to our surroundings. I knew nothing about any of these supernatural creatures, and with Wade and Cameron along, a run-in could be disastrous.

“Here we are.” She pulled over.

I didn’t relax as we untied the tubes and pulled on suspiciously heavy rucksacks.

Cameron locked the car and tucked the keys on top of the tire. “Sonny and Dave are returning from a run to Bluff City. Sonny said he’ll drive my car into town and leave it for us.”
