Before I even pressed the button on Logan’s two-way radio and said a gruff hello, I knew who would be on the other end.

“You have thirty seconds to get outside.” Kaori’s voiced cracked through the quiet room. “This warning is not for you. It is for the people inside the hotel. Unlike you, I do have some regard for other lives.”

I already felt like a crumpled candy bar wrapper after my Envisioner session, exhausted from an adrenaline hangover. The sound of her voice sent a cold jab of steel through my heart. Yusuf flapped his hands at me, mouthing something. I ran to the wall of windows by his side, ready to snap at him to get away from there, when I saw what he meant. Outside, the small army—including a mini-tank thing with a searchlight pointed at the hotel—was positioned behind the frozen pool, beyond the deck right outside of the restaurant. They didn’t know me and Yusuf were holed up in our separate room away from the pack.

“How the fuck are they out there if they came through the Envisioner? Did they blast through the airlock doors?” I asked.

“Not that I heard,” Logan said.

“There must be a second Envisioner on this base,” Yusuf said. He turned to Logan. “Did you know that?”

“I didn’t know there was one here, never mind two,” he said. “Jesus fuck, I barely know where I am right now.”

“Twenty seconds,” Kaori crackled over the radio again. “I’m not kidding.”

“Let the others get out of here, then,” I snapped at her.

“Whether they leave here safely is up to you.”

“But they have nothing to do with this.”

“They are insurance. No more bullshit. Figueiredo has his finger on the trigger of the roof cannon on this little muscle car that he brought over. He wants to pull it.”

“And how the fuck will blowing us up help if you need me to fix what I did to our universes?”

“If you’re dead and can’t interfere with the Envisioner anymore, that is a sacrifice you are forcing on us. You and Yusuf need to get out here. Now.”

Yusuf looked at me with his steady brown eyes and a thread of understanding passed between us. Logan was here to shove us out into the snow to save his pack. I couldn’t fault him for doing exactly what I would have done in his position. We’d have to take him down and run to the Envisioner if we were going to leave here alive.

Under the sloppy ink of his drawn-on mask, Logan’s eyes were flat steel.

“Take the boys to that thing downstairs and get them out of here,” he said. “I’ll buy you some time. Me and Joel should catch up.”

Yusuf grabbed the radio out of my hand before I had time to sputter something.

“We’re coming,” he growled to Kaori.
