I tore my eyes away from Callahan as Drusilla grabbed my hand and began dragging me.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

Drusilla grabbed the car keys from the office table and muttered, “Do you think we can perform the ritual in this office? Duh!”

“Today is a special day, so let us drive you in a special car.”

“Drive me where?” I asked and again she shook her head.

“He needed some time to cool off. So, he would join us directly there.”

“Sorry. It is just that I am both nervous and excited. I have been asking him for days…no…years to listen to me. He never did. I spent countless hours locked in a room, studying the visions and trying to analyze a
