Brandon had been taken by someone who could Travel.
She googled the address he'd left and then the coordinates automatically generated by his watch and sent to her phone.
The results made her curse. The address was for southern Oregon, the coordinates for a city in Montana. Instinct told her to go where his coordinates indicated he was. He had to have been wearing his watch when he was taken, or she wouldn't have the location.
As if whoever had him had figured out the watch was giving his location, another text flashed onto the screen. The coordinates were blank.
Ashley nibbled on her lower lip, needing to do something. His note said to try the Oregon address first.
Ashley changed into her fighting clothing and stood in the living room once more, trying not to panic as she debated how to get to either of the locations where Brandon was possibly located.
Leave the vamps alone or I'll have to do something we'll both regret.
Had Jonny not been convinced she'd listen this time because she hadn't the first several times? No one else knew where she and Brandon lived. No one else could track him. Her gut twisted. She had lost her desire to fight last night, but renewed anger left her feeling charged, ready for a confrontation even if it was the man who smashed her heart.
Except she had no idea where he was or how to reach him. If she Traveled, she risked arriving in a group of vamps and being disabled by a seizure before she could act.
After a moment of hesitation, she texted Xander.
I need a ride somewhere.
His network of Guardians with the ability to Travel eclipsed hers. He responded quickly.
Problem?
Ashley groaned and typed a fast response. I PROMISE to tell you when it's over. Pretty please?
Within seconds, someone tapped at the apartment door. Ashley stashed two more knives and answered the door.
"I hear you need a chauffer," said the tall, gorgeous brunette outside her door. A fellow warrior, Jenn had been instrumental in Ashley's summer training. She was the mate of the Grey God, Darian, and wore his necklace around her neck.
"Yes!" Ashley said and hugged her mentor. "I need to go here." She released Jenn and held up Brandon's phone with the Oregon address.
Jenn's eyes widened. "You know what's there?"
"No, but I will soon."
"Give me a minute." Jenn moved down the hallway and whipped out her cell phone.
Ashley watched her, not understanding the concern. The Guardian warrior made a quick call and returned appearing less than pleased.
"For the record, I'll do it, but I'm going to Darian the second I leave you," Jenn said firmly. "Xander says to take you."
