“Hm?”
Ivy was puzzled. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to see if I can track down Jerome.”
And Cecelia was out the door.
Amber was baffled. “The Western District is a war zone right now. How’s she supposed to find Jerome out there?”
“Good question.”
Draven rubbed his chin. “That kid I met the first time I came here-real quiet, always in the corner, barely said a word? That’s Jerome?”
“That’s him!”
Amber nodded vigorously. “Jerome barely has any presence. He’s this broody, depressive kid who never talks-and when he does, it’s like squeezing toothpaste from an empty tube. He’s scared of cats, too. Allergic.”
“Tsk. One look at those soft baby hands and I could tell the kid was useless.”
“Cecelia says Jerome is extremely important. Our job-besides protecting Ivy-is protecting him.”
Amber had never seen the point of Jerome, honestly. The only reason she tolerated him was Cecelia.
Really.
Nobody was lining up to befriend a gloomy teenage boy.
Ivy overheard the conversation and sighed. “Let’s not say any of that in front of Cece”
“Understood!”
Draven and Amber answered in perfect unison.
Then, Draven leaned over and whispered to Amber, “Is Jerome secretly Cecelia’s boy tov or someth
“Pfft-

He’d already picked up the broad strokes of the Eastern District situation.
He’d originally planned to infiltrate the Kaezer Group today, but the moment he’d sensed the Level 6 mutated zombie, he’d pulled back.
If he unleashed his full power to fight a Level 6, the resulting energy signature would betray his existene
That Level 6 was the one orchestrating this first zombie wave against the Western District.
Even if every ability user in the Western District mobilized, they wouldn’t last three days.
The Western District was going to fall soon.
Just like in the previous life.
Except this time, the collapse was arriving more than a month ahead of schedule.
“More and more variables…”
Knock, knock-
Someone was at the door.
His psychic scan identified Cecelia standing outside.
Blake went still for a beat, then grabbed a towel and headed for the door, drying his hair as he walked.
“Hi.”
The door opened to the young girl’s harmless, smiling face.
Blake kept his tone neutral. “Can I help you?”
“Actually, yes.”
Cecelia didn’t beat around the bush. “I have a friend who’s a psychic ability user. She told me she sensed that you’re also psychic-and a much higher level. I was wondering if you could help me find someone.
Blake was quiet for a moment, then countered, “How do you know psychic abilities can be used to locate people?”
“Isn’t that exactly what psychic abilities are for?”
Cecelia grinned. “Besides, you said you owed me one. You’re not going to renege, are you?”
“I’m not reneging.”
Blake looked at her, resigned. “Fine. Who are you looking for? As long as it isn’t Jerome.
“His name is Jerome. He’s my brother.”
Blake went silent.
