they’d needed to give him a pair of
Greco’s pants to wear in place of his own pee-stained pair. All they needed
then was a car, and Greco’s dad had graciously loaned them his. Convincing him
to stay at the hotel while they rescued his wife and son had been a little more
difficult, however.
    After arriving at the parking
garage and letting their newfound spy out at the entrance, Mirissa found a
parking spot near the building’s only exit. They needed to keep their eyes on
John and be ready to follow whatever vehicle held their target at a moment’s
notice, so it was decided that Asteria would stay with the car and Mirissa
would watch John. He’d been instructed to wait at the northeast corner of the
uppermost level, so Mirissa quickly climbed the stairs and slid between two
parked cars.
    A moment later, the door to the
northwest stairwell opened and a nervous looking John Anderson poked out his
head. Mirissa let out a breath she didn’t know she’d been holding. At least
he didn’t run , she thought. He walked to the opposite corner with their two
overnight bags and casually leaned against the wall. Mirissa had to give him
credit. Not only had he shown up, but he was playing his part well—and had yet
to wet himself.
    Although it felt like an hour,
less than ten minutes passed before a white Honda Pilot emerged from the ramp.
Passing dozens of empty parking spaces, the SUV came to a stop a few feet from
John. Here we go .
    Mirissa took a deep breath and
focused on expanding her senses. Since discovering this power a few months ago,
she’d trained with Greco until she was able to isolate each individual sense
and increase its sensitivity to just the level she needed in any given situation.
For now, she expanded her auditory capability enough to hear John’s
conversation but not so much that the sounds of the surrounding city
overwhelmed her.
    “Did you get everything?”
    “Yes, sir.” John had his hands shoved
in his pockets and was rocking back and forth from his left foot to his right.
    “Put it all in the back seat and
wait here for ten minutes before you leave.” So far, the driver had done all of
the talking, although Mirissa could see he had a passenger with him.
    “Uh, what about the rest of the
money you promised?”
    Mirissa watched as the driver
took something from the passenger and handed it to John. Failed to mention
the rest of the money, did you John ? After shoving the final payment into
his pocket, he opened the back door and tossed both suitcases on the seat.
Without another word, the driver pulled forward and headed toward the exit.
    Mirissa brought her hearing down
to the normal human level and, once the Honda was out of sight, teleported back
to an impatient looking Asteria.
    “They’re in a white Honda Pilot.
Two people. Should be exiting any second now.”
    Asteria turned the key in the
ignition, put the transmission in drive, and waited. When the SUV pulled onto
the road in front of them, Asteria eased into traffic a few cars behind.
Demetri’s car, although a Jaguar, looked the same as a thousand other sedans on
the road. Unless the guys they were following were professionals, they wouldn’t
be spotted. Mirissa used the onboard navigation system to keep track of where
they were while Asteria kept her eyes on their target.
    They’d been driving for less than
a mile when the Honda pulled to a stop on Oglethorpe Avenue in front of a
historic brick townhouse. Although she’d already run two red lights just to keep
up with them, Asteria was more than happy to be stopped by one now. It allowed
them to sit and watch as the two men exited the vehicle, grabbed the suitcases,
and entered the building.
    When the light turned green,
Asteria drove past the townhouse, allowing Mirissa a brief moment to scout the
area, and made her first right, finding a parking spot only a few yards down.
This was where things would get tricky. There were several groups of people on
the sidewalks on both
