Chapter 7
I dropped my shields. If whatever that was had found Steve, he was in trouble. If not, it would find me and I was in trouble. The most likely answer was that it was both. Whatever had happened, it came from the parking lot.
Kaylee jumped in front of me. “Something just crashed in the parking lot. It’s big.” She had dropped her shielding.
“You know this how?” I wasn’t happy that she was taking this big a risk, especially since I didn’t know if she really understood what was at stake.
“A little birdie told me.” She meant it literally.
I didn’t have time to deliver the ass-chewing the situation demanded. “What crashed?”
“Something big. It fell a long way down and it hit HARD.” She licked her lips and looked around. “I need to find something bigger and smarter to look at this thing.”
I shook my head. “You need to get out of my way and go hide somewhere. You don’t have the experience and training for this type of situation.”
“How would you know? You don’t even know what this is.” She had a point.
