“Maybe,” she said, and turned to Marcus. The man immediately pulled a large, folded map from inside his coat and unfolded it on the table to reveal the streets of Port Henry.

Basha stepped up beside her husband and opened her mouth to speak, but Lucian forestalled her by saying, “Wait until the others get here or you will just have to repeat yourself. Magnus does not know Port Henry. We need Teddy, Elvi, or Mabel for this.”

Basha nodded, but gave Magnus an apologetic look.

“Basha!” Elvi cried, rushing into the room with Victor, Mabel, and Katricia on her heels. The woman hurried to Basha to embrace her. “Thank goodness you’re all right. We were worried when they couldn’t get ahold of you.”

“Sorry. We ran into a nest of rogues in California. My phone was destroyed and we have no idea what happened to Marcus’s,” Basha explained, looking somewhat uncomfortable as she hugged Elvi back. Magnus knew Marcus had been taking Basha around to meet her family members to let her get reacquainted. Marcus had told him that she was having a bit of a struggle adjusting to having family again. It showed right now. She seemed happy to see Elvi, but wasn’t yet comfortable with displays of affection. She would adjust, he knew.

“Are you sure it’s a good idea for all of us to be down here, Lucian?” Teddy barked as he led DJ into the room.

“Yes, I— What the hell are you doing out of bed?” Lucian interrupted himself to ask as he caught sight of Drina entering the room with Harper and Tybo.

“I am healed,” Drina said, glaring at him mulishly. “Now let’s get this going. We have to get Allie back.”

Lucian scowled at her, but then turned to Basha and gestured for her to go ahead.

“Right.” Basha returned to the table and the map of Port Henry as the group spread out around the table. “Abaddon has shown a preference for old abandoned buildings in the past.”

“He still might,” Magnus murmured. “Stella told Allie she was kept in an old abandoned building.”

“He kept us in one too, when he tried to kill us,” Marcus announced.

Basha’s mouth tightened, but she said, “Obviously Abaddon prefers that kind of dwelling for some reason, and will have taken Allie someplace like that. So we need someone who can mark out all the abandoned buildings in Port Henry. We’ll search those first, and move farther out if he isn’t in one of them.” Peering at Teddy, she said, “Lucian thought you could help with that part.”

Teddy stepped up to stand across the table from her and peered over the map, then placed his finger on a spot nearly in the center. “There’s an old abandoned print house here. It’s been empty for decades.”

“That’s right downtown,” Basha said, shaking her head. “He likes to make his victims scream and wouldn’t want nosy neighbors.”
