    She had earned her position as Destin’s
chief of security by sacrificing a piece of her soul. Every time
she sent one of her team members out and they didn’t return, a
piece of her died with them. What almost suffocated her, though,
was when she took a life like she had tonight. Then, then the dark
fear of what she was becoming threatened to choke her.
    Knock it off, she admonished herself
silently. If I’m not careful, I’ll become as crazy as
William .
    “Kali, wait up,” William called out from
behind her.
    Kali hid the grimace when she heard William
call her name. And that, she added to herself, is why I
should never think such thoughts. William will invariably
know.
    “Troy said you killed two men tonight,”
William stated breathlessly as he tried to keep up with her
quickening pace. “Do you want to repent for it?”
    Kali ground her teeth together to refrain
from saying anything that would hurt William’s feelings. William
had decided to become a born again preacher who believed in every
faith known to mankind a few weeks ago. At seventy-two, she didn’t
know why he bothered. If he hadn’t found religion before now, and
from what she knew of his past he had not, she honestly didn’t
understand why he even wanted to at this late date. The only thing
she could think of was that he hoped it might give him an edge if
Colbert broke through their defenses, not that Colbert cared about
what happened to his black soul.
    If that son-of-a-bitch does break
through, he’ll be the one needing to repent, Kali thought
savagely as hatred burned like lava in her gut.
    “I have some holy water that I found in St.
James Cathedral over on Huron and Wabash,” William added holding up
a battered whiskey flask.
    Kali bit back a derisive remark when she
glanced at the hopeful look on William’s face. The water in the
flask was probably rain water from the spring showers that had come
through a few days ago. With a shake of her head, she stopped and
looked at the withered face of the former Bookie and street corner
Hot Dog vendor turned evangelist. Taking a deep breath, she gently
covered the hand holding the flask up.
    “William, I have nothing to repent. I think
you should stay closer to the compound. We ran into some of Allen’s
men tonight,” she calmly replied. “I wouldn’t want you to get hurt
if you should accidently run into any of them.”
    “I...,” he started to argue before he
clamped his lips tightly together at Kali’s look of warning. “I’ll
see if Mabel would like for me to hold a prayer session.”
    “You do that,” Kali encouraged him before
turning back to the lower section of the building. “Just make sure
you stay at least a foot away when you do. Mabel is likely to hit
you again if you start tossing water on her,” she called out over
her shoulder as she walked away.
    “I’ll stay at least three feet from her,”
William called out behind her. “She’s using a cane now.”
    Kali shook her head and chuckled as she
thought of William’s current love interest. Mabel was as chipper
and optimistic as they came. At almost eighty, Kali suspected she
just started carrying the cane to keep William from tossing water
on her again.
    Turning the last corner, she pushed open the
double doors, noting with satisfaction that Jason and Tim were
standing alertly by the thick metal door leading to her brother’s
office. She nodded to them, murmuring her thanks when Jason opened
the door for her. She brushed past him, ignoring the way his eyes
lingered on her. She knew he was interested. Unfortunately, she
wasn’t.
    She had no desire to complicate her life by
getting involved with anyone. She had made a promise to herself
after the Earth was invaded that she would not think of her own
desires until it was free again. What she hadn’t expected was that
it would be the humans who would cause all the chaos and
destruction. She realized now that she had been young and
naïve.
    It had taken two
