several rings for someone to answer.
    “Simon residence, how may I help you?”
    “Good morning, James. This is Lauren, how are you?”
    “Well enough, would you like to speak with your uncle?”
    “Is he up or should I call back?”
    “Lauren you know your uncle Dan  he’s been up for hours. I’ll get him.”
    The phone was silent while James went to get my uncle. I hadn’t talked to him much since my dad died. We both missed him too much and neither of us could bear talking about him. It was just too painful. He was a busy man and I was  lucky he was in.
    “Lauren, how are you dear? Is everything all right out there?”
    “I’m fine, Uncle Dan. I was hoping you might be able to help me out with something. Do you still have friends at the CIA?”
    “Yes, I still have several contacts at the agency. Why do you ask? You aren’t in any trouble, are you?”
    “No, I’m fine. I just need some help with a case I’m involved in. Jason has given me a few days to avert a clash between a drug cartel and the West Side vamps.” Bless him, he was one of only a few people who knew what I did for a living and he didn’t question my sanity.
    “Good to know, no pressure there. What do you need to know?”
    “I’m not sure, which is part of the problem.” I laid out what I knew for my uncle. “Which is why we need to know how the Russians are involved?”
    “Let me do some checking. I’ll call you back shortly.”
    “Thanks Uncle Dan. I love you.” I hung up and went to tell Traygen and Tokem what my uncle said.
    “He’s going to run it by some of his friends in the agency. He knows we needed the information yesterday. I’m going to shower come and get me if he calls back before I finish.”
    I was toweling off when there was a discreet knock on my door. “Lauren your Uncle Dan’s on the line.”
    “I’ll pick it up in here and Traygen will you stay on the line. You may consider something I wouldn’t think of asking.”
    “Will do.”
    “Uncle Dan, I’ve asked Traygen to stay on the line. What did you find out?”
    “Hello Traygen. Well, it could be a couple of things. Given your avocation, I may have something. The Russian mob is trying to sell the Hofburg spear. It has been called many things from the Vienna Lance to the Spear of Destiny. General Patton returned the spear to Austria after Hitler’s suicide.”
    Traygen broke in, “Yeah, Hitler’s obsession with the spear is well documented. It is rumored he stole it during the Anschluss when Austria annexed Germany. There has always been doubt about the spears authenticity.”
    “Word is the Russian mafia is shipping the spear to the highest bidder.”
    “Thank you Uncle Dan. You’ve been a big help. I owe you.”
    No one spoke, temporarily surrounded by silence, my mind shifted into overdrive. Historians believed the spear possessed mystical powers and those tales were correct. The spirits that animate the spear represent the Illuminati or Global Elite. I could see why they would want their spear back. Unfortunately, no one knew who the Illuminati or The Global Elite were. As luck would have it, Traygen seemed to read my mind.
    Traygen finally broke the silence. “Lauren, the dragon elders have a five-thousand year old history. I’ll contact Huracan and see what I can find out.”
    “Thank you Traygen. I think that’s a great idea.” I heard Traygen hang up the extension.
    “Lauren be careful, these men are ruthless and obtaining the spear might make them reckless. Do you believe the spear has any real power?” Uncle Dan asked.
    “I know it does, what I don’t know is who has it and what their plans for it are. Uncle Dan, I’ll keep you up to speed. Bye, I owe you one,” I said as I hung up.
    I had a bad feeling about this. The spear had more power combined than the Daywalker and any wizard I knew. I sure as hell didn’t want to get caught in the middle of this mess. I needed to know why the Mexicans and Russians were shooting at
